Pal, just remember! Freddie is the greatest boxing trainer of all time. If you didn't know Parkinson's disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time. Please give credit where credit is due and criticizing less.

Loma should step in & tell his manager that if there's a chance to face pac, he should take it. Beating up old superstars is part of the game. Holmes did it to Ali, Tyson did it to Holmes, and pac did it to Oscar. Man up and take him out.

Pass what torch?

The same torch De La Hoya passed to Pacquiao. Star power. Knock Pacquiao out in spectacular fashion and watch Crawford's star rise.

Can't recall last time Floyd fought an opponent almost 4 inches taller and who walked around at least 25 pounds heavier. Someone refresh my memory. While you're at it remind me who he fought in his last two fights...anyone in Crawford's level? How about in his entire career...anyone in their PRIME at Crawford's level?

Loma schools old ass filipino & makes him retire!

Nothing but facts.

What? Crawford usually puts on about 10 lbs between weigh in and fight night.

TC has never fought at WW and Manny has been there since 2009??? Yet TC is too big?

And pls don't post that pic of TC weighin during christmas Vaca lmfao.

That's an out of shape TC - you imbecil

For his fights at 140.. Bud was coming in at Fight night at about 155lb from what I remember.

His very next fight he blew it and lost to Bradley on ppv. Momentum killer...and typical of JMM.

Lose and then whine... which turned a lot of people off..because he clearly lost the fight.

But Roach, Pacquiao’s longtime trainer, said the Filipino legend walks around at 138 pounds

Thats a damn lie, if true 135 should be no issue

Yeah I really think that’s a typo and was probably supposed to be 148. So of course 140 would be doable. If he really walked around at 138, 135 would be easy. I could lose 3 pounds in 24 hours super easy.

JMM's next fight was on PPV vs. Bradley. He lost. They did 375K buys. Compare that to Crawford's first PPV that did 50K. JMM then beat Alvarado and retired. This is a bad comparison because JMM was old and at the end of his career, plus he lost his next fight. If you're actually claiming that Crawford knocking out Pacquiao wouldn't do anything for his career, you're trolling me.
