Comments Thread For: Roach: Arum 'Pushing For' Pacquiao-Crawford; Fight Concerns Me

[MisanthropicNY]

Pacquiao is almost 40... Arum is a *** - we know they only care about money and power without moral compass.

This would actually be a great fight. If Manny can go back to how he used to fight throwing high volume punching and in and out attacking instead of trying to be a counter puncher he could give Crawford a tough fight. I still think Manny is an elite fighter, if he fights like he did against horn crawford will beat him. Either way its a big payday for pacquiao and a chance for Crawford to possibly become a ppv fighter. This is a great fight I hope they make it

Using PED'S thats his only chance, he just lost to a school teacher who wasnt boxing 6 years ago.

Love pac to beat him one of the top 3 p4p fighters then avenge that theft v horn then call it a day be fitting to the greatest warrior of the past 30 years no one fought more hall of famers than this man true great of the sport

Some people were clamoring for Floyd to fight Golovkin. Floyd's highest weigh-in weigh is 152 in one of his three career JMW fights, yet he was supposed to fight Gennady when he was 37-41 years?

Now people are asking for Manny to fight a younger, smaller fighter. And all of a sudden it's some insane task.

Floyd would be a cherry picker for picking on a smaller, younger fighter. Yet Manny gets a pass.

Manny is the most overrated fighter of the past 10 years without question. 1st ballot Hall of Famer for sure and probably a Top 100 ATG. However, he is also the most likely to have used PED's in his career and he has no more than a handful of wins over prime opponents...David Diaz, Bradley, split with a prime-ish Morales, Jorge Solis, and given a gift decision over Marquez 3 times (the draw was acceptable in the 2nd fight, 1st and 3rd fights were actual robberies and not "close fights" like many posters here misuse the phrase)

Pacquiao will be forgotten in 3-5 years. The only memory of him will be KTFO6, taking Margarito's eye, and losing to Floyd in what turned out to be a dud of a "superfight". Oh and drug testing. The fact that drug testing was the hold up for...5 years?

Nothing else will be remembered of the cheating immigrant

Damn.That just about shut this site down!!

He's almost 40... you really want to see him fight Crawford at this stage?

Damn, you must really hate Pac because Floyd was too scared to fight him until he was 36 and suffered a KO...

Floyd is older than Manny....FACTS

Manny is a naturally little guy and Crawford is a beast. He's not some little can. Horn, a former PE teacher, bullied and bloodied Manny, what do you think Crawford will do to him?

Excellent. I had to make some creative corrections, but you both are spot on.

No thanks...

Sorry guys, didn't read all through the thread, so maybe this was said before, but...

I've seen this fight already. It'll be a replay of Mayweather vs Pacquiao. I like Crawford and think he's a talented guy ready to terrorize the 147 lbs division, but what turned me slight off about him was the Postol fight. He did his best Floyd impersonation for his first PPV, vs his toughest opponent. He played it safe and bored the hell out of me. I don't want to see that type of fight ever again and the play book on how to beat PAC easily at this stage with movement and countering is already out there. Bud will execute it to perfection, so I'll pass.

damage wise, floyd 25, pac 83. that was the point.

So floyd waited until he slowed down and lost a few steps to fight pac? Roach said thought floyd would have beat pac back in the day. So they ducked floyd just like they are ducking Crawford. If pac is so fragile they should stop saying pac will fight crawford and swift garcia. Stop using these dudes names to promote pac then duck them.

[mrjoeblive]

PAC kept fighting the half decade older JMM so what's the problem?

Roach just admitted they've been cherry picking pacs fights
