Comments Thread For: Roach: Crawford's Win Helps His Cause To Land Pacquiao Fight

[Metho_4u]

Based off of the Molina fight? Pac Mans been proving you wrong for the past decade... when are you gonna give in?

Lol well considering I haven't made a prediction about Manny other than Floyd would outbox him, idk what you're talking about. This is not a wise fight for Manny to take. Crawford is coming into his full prime, Manny is no longer in his, nor does Manny have his roid power anymore, thus I cannot pick him to be victorious in this endeavor.

So washed up he almost beat Mayweather a year before...

No, he didn't

[Larry the boss]

This would be a damn good fight

[BlackSoul]

i will continue to state this: Terence Crawford beats ANY version of pacquiao even the '07-'10 pacquiao who was on the juice

[rrayvez]

Pacquiao knocks down Crawford at least twice before stopping him inside of 10 rounds.

Oh yeah? And who was the last guy Pacquiao stopped and what year was that?

[richardt]

Old slow JMM had Pac clearly out cold.

JMM was performing at the top of his game but the question was when was Crawford hurt and I pointed to it.

It's not Pacquiao's fights that tell the story, it's Crawford's.

Crawford got clipped by a Gamboa that wasn't 100%. He got tagged early by Postol. Molina was drained as hell. Crawford has never faced a pure pressure fighter; Gamboa was the closest, but Gamboa is a counter puncher more than a pressure fighter.

Crawford isn't a starter, he's a finisher. He takes time to adjust if you're on your game. That's fine...but this is Manny we're talking about. Manny is also a finisher - and a much faster one than Crawford.

Remember how Manny was able to drop Mosley early and he didn't even know how or why he went down from that punch? And Mosley is a MUCH better defender than Crawford.

Manny of 2009,sure. Manny of 2016, no shot. Mosley was never a good defender btw, and the version mosley that pac fought was well past his prime. You're really reaching if you're putting your hopes of Crawford losing based on fights in which he was completely dominant.

Easy fight for pac. I wil bet real money for this.

[pasawayako]

I hope arum will make this fight happen but i doubt it. crawford is arum future cash cow and he will not let him fight pac.
