Terence Crawford just called out Pacquiao on HBO

[Motorcity Cobra]

wow I really went over your head. I'm sorry you're so dumb.

There is no reason to bring up Floyd in this discussion.

[champion4ever]

This is a fight that Pac doesn't need. All he needs to do is secure enough money so he can retire. Fighting Bud at this point is both meaningless and pointless. If I was managing Pac my main objective is to keep him winning and healthy that's all because he has nothing left to prove.

[Hatesrats]

The fight is gonna happen, Arum is itching to be back in a huge PPV event. Manny needs to do his part next doe to convince (the GGG fans) casuals/former fans he still has it.

[The Big Dunn]

In the post fight talk, Roy said Thurman was the best ww and max said Spence was the special guy at 147. Why are they downplaying and avoiding a Crawford/Manny fight?

Espn, nsb and a number of publications/sites have Manny as the top ww. Yet they act like he doesn't exist. Very strange to see. They never do this. Why now?

Why would they downplay a big ppv fight for a guy they have signed? they could have everything to themselves but instead push for cross network fights that always prove difficult to put together.

Roy saying Manny shouldn't fight him unless the money is right would usually make posters irate. Crawford is very high risk for Manny and it's a shame hbo is not pushing for him to get the fight knowing it will help his exposure if he wins. He

anyone thinks TC does to pac what pac did to cotto

Very possible. Manny's speed could keep him in the fight but Crawford looks awefully good. Don't know how Manny's legs would last against this guy. Pacquiao should avoid Crawford at this point in his career.

I like how the haters have no issue with PAc fighting a "smaller" guy coming up when it is Crawford but are outraged when it is Mikey Garcia who has been calling out Manny for two years.

Crawford can move up to 147 but chooses to drain down to beat on smaller journeymen at 140. Get up and fight a young lion at 147 like Turman, Sence, Garcia. Go through a few battles.

LOL, knew I'd be seeing a few of these this morning.

You just called Yuriorkis Gamboa, Victor Postol, Felix Diaz, Thomas Dulorme, Hank Lundy, Ray Beltran and Andrey Klimov journeymen.

Certainly not A-level opposition, but journeyman are they not.

Freddie Roach is on record saying that Manny would be more dangerous at 140. He wants the Crawford fight and he feels that he can sell a Mayweather rematch if he can get Manny to beat Crawford.

Manny is on record saying he doesn't want to go down.

What's that tell you? It tells you he doesn't want to fight the one fighter who could likely embarrass him worse than TBE, and is asking for ridiculous amounts of money to ensure the fight doesn't happen.

Blaming Crawford who's shown up in all but one fight instead of blaming Manny for ducking is a joke.

Loved you in the movie bro.

Thanks for pointing this out. When/If Crawford moves up every PBC welterweight will be accused of ducking him. That's why they brought up Thurman and Spence but not Pac. There is absolutely no reason Pac-Crawford shouldn't happen. I don't want to hear about any PBC welterweights until after the Pac-Crawford fight.

[GhostofDempsey]

Indongo and then Manny and TC will beat Manny pretty easy.

I don't mind seeing Manny fight either TC Thurman Spence Brook Porter, they all doable I guess Horn is a better option.

Horn is certianly more competetive than McGregor and just as competetive as Indongo. Garbage fight but still no worse than Molina or Berto.

You can't duck someone who never spoke to your camp about a fight. Crawford admits he never talked to Pac's camp for a fight. If Crawford wants the fight he needs to move up to 147. Pac is the A side he doesn't need to chase anyone. Same way Floyd gers a pass from his fans for fighting Berto instead of Thurman, Brook, Spence, Garcia. Now he is fighting a guy who isn't even boxer. Talk about ducking.

Meanwhile Crawford has no leverage for making demands. His one and only PPV flopped horribly.
