Comments Thread For: Arum Wants Pacquiao To Face Last Man Standing For WBO Belt

[Mammoth]

Eh... If Crawford goes through Horn and Pacqiuao he'll be pretty acclimated to welterweight after that. Doesn't change the fact that those PBC boys will still be there and Bud's gotta fight them sooner or later....

gonna be a lot of sour g****s when old man mufasa put the beating on the young lion. also looks like someone is gonna have to honor the old man for fighting a young lion for his last dance.

Props if he even takes the fight. And as great as it would be for manny to win it seems unlikely the way he has struggled with lesser competition. But he definitely deserves to go out on top. He is becoming a joke to people who don’t respect or are Knowledgeable about the sport. They almost seem to praise his downfall. Be nice for manny to give a performance to smack them in the face with

if he doesnt retired, he's gotta take the fight man. LOL.. bob aint gonna let him off the hook that easy. pac and roach knows what crawford brings to the table, i expect pac to be in great shape and ready to go. this is not a floyd fight, etc. they know crawford can put a hurting on pac at this point if he's not 100%.

So you’re saying manny hasn’t been in shape for years? According to Roach manny is in great shape war ready for every fight. I just think mannys best years are behind him. But you seem like you know what’s going on so I belive you

Crawford will knock out Pacquiao and that's exactly what Arum wants. A passing of the torch. Wrong move because Pacquiao can get hurt, he should just retire.

I think this would be a good fight for Pacquiao. The odds will be stacked against him but I don't see him losing as the foregone conclusion. Pacquiao still has quick feet and use a lot of feints. Even Mayweather fouond it difficult to time him. Crawford also has a high boxing I.Q. so I'm sure he'll be prepared but Pacquiao still has enough left to pull out a close decision.

oh no, that's not what im saying. i know pac's been in shape for all his fights, what i meant is that he'll be training with a more higher and focus mentality.

like when he trains for guys like rios, horn, im sure he's not training with the same energy and intensity like when he was training for cotto, margarito. i mean for the horn fight, pac was making statements like "who is this guy? i've never head of him before".. you dont actually think pac was training hard 100% for horn, do you?

when he fights guys he knows can hurt him, he fights them differently. when he fights crawford, i expect him to come out and throw every shot with the intention to hurt crawford like when he fought marquez in the 4th fight.

i know pac is not the same fighter he was once and i know he cant go back to how he was before but what im saying is for the crawford fight, i expect him to be 100% ready physically and mentally because he knows what crawford brings.

So what's the latest on 'Planet Pacquiao'? The last time we saw Manny Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38 KOs), the Filipino superstar lost his WBO welterweight title when he was upset - losing a twelve round unanimous decision to unbeaten Jeff Horn in Brisbane, Australia on July 1st. It was the only fight of 2017 for the 38 year future Hall-of-Famer and it's not clear what the future holds for him.

Arum will use Pacquiao to launch Crawford, right on cue

Pac should fight a lesser opponent at home

but yea, the Horn rematch is the fight that should have happened

Pac would have beaten Horn

if they haven't been around long enough to know, they don't really matter

Pac has given us lots of great fights, and he could still be a good matchup for top fighters at WW. I would like to see Bud v Pac.

But Id rather Pac just went away. Even though hes still a top level fighter, hes clearly post prime. Id rather see Bud v Spence or Thurman or even Garcia & Porter. Pac just gets in the way of that.

Retire Pac
