Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Will Target Lomachenko in The Fall, Says Koncz

It ain’t happening cuz Lucas is gonna flatten Manny.

That’s his only chance to beat Pac, otherwise Pac will rearrange his face or might even knock him out. Pac’s past his prime but his boxing skills is way better than Matthysse’s.

being 3lbs over after rehydration is not being a "weight bully"

Crawford at 135 was a weight bully.

I agree with you there. He walks around over 160.

October 27, 2017:


In a report by Philboxing.com’s Dong Secuya, the 30-year-old fighter was asked if he is still open to a showdown with Pacquiao, who remains a major player in the welterweight division.

“That's not the question. The question is, is Pacquiao willing to fight me?” Crawford (32-0, with 23 KOs) fired back.

The Omaha, Nebraska-based boxer, who has recently unified the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO, has long been considered as an opponent for the ageing Pacquiao.

But for various reasons, the fight never materialized, with Pacquiao’s longtime trainer Freddie Roach not keen on pitting his ward against the younger, more dangerous Crawford.

Roach had stated that 38-year-old Pacquiao might already be too old to take on Crawford, which could well be true given the Filipino icon’s previous performance against Australian Jeff Horn.

Pacquiao struggled against the burly Horn, a relatively limited fighter, when they fought at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia last month. Pacquiao appeared to be a shell of his former self in the bout that it’s not hard for observers to predict he’ll have an even more difficult time against the highly skilled Crawford.

December 1, 2017:

Roach told a small group of reporters following a press conference for the Cotto-Ali fight that Bob Arum wants to make a Manny Pacquiao-Terence Crawford fight in 2018. The 85-year-old promoter previously was reluctant to match Pacquiao, who’ll turn 39 on December 17, against the 30-year-old Crawford, presumably because the highly skilled Crawford would’ve presented a troublesome style for Pacquiao...

“Arum wants Pacquiao to fight Crawford,” Roach said. “I’m a little bit concerned about that fight. It’s a tough fight. Crawford’s a young guy, coming up and so forth, and Manny probably has seen his best days behind him. But I will still train him and get him ready for that fight, if that does happen. And they’re pushing for it, so it might..."

You're telling me what everyone else said other than Pacquiao... Nice try though...

I agree with you there. He walks around over 160.

exactly. I don't see an issue with guys rehydrating and coming in over weight. If they wanted to stop it, they would go back to fight day weigh ins.

[drunken fist]

No, its from bob.......

Pac already split with Top Rank months ago.

[BM dnobagaV]

Pacman should stay away from Loma. He dont want that work. Loma would totally destroy him. As someone said earlier, it would be like ALI vs Holmes all over again. Too quick for Pacman and too much stamina too.

This. It wouldn't be a total domination, but Loma would outwork Manny like crazy. Very simple.

[pasawayako]

Yes you do. You are just playing dumb. If Manny wanted to fight Crawford he would've done so when he was champ. He opted for Horn instead.

Lol. If pac beat floyd with just one healthy arm then he will make crawford look like an amateur in the ring.

[pasawayako]

I see your mad any #48 now that you want him to drop down too far in weight, funny.

Hahhahaha you're the one who's mad because your idol floIV isn't relevant anymore and it's floIV fault that the canelo-ggg fight is canceled. FloIV should have told canelo his secrets on how to use PEDS and pass the test.

[pasawayako]

LMAOOOOOO. You little bltch. You know damn well Pac wanted no part of Crawford.

That's why you been praying Horn beats Crawford.

Believe what you want but pac isn't floIV who cherry pick his opponent, it's arum fault that he's thinks carwford is not yet ready for Pac.

[travestyny]

Believe what you want but pac isn't floIV who cherry pick his opponent, it's arum fault that he's thinks carwford is not yet ready for Pac.

hahahaha. You blame Arum for everything. Pac aint got a mouth, huh? Why doesn't he say he wants Crawford?


Horn was a cherry pick that went wrong.
