Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Wants Next Fight In U.S.; Arum Says Tax Debt Not $20M

Pacman wouldn't destroy anyone if the fighters you listed. Don't let the Mattysse win go to your head.

Disagree. I think he'd have a considerable chance of victory against, Khan & broner for sure. Danny could possibly beat Manny but I wouldn't bet on it. Not sure how you think none of those opponents are winnable for pac. Weird really...anyway guys like Porter, Thurman, Spence & bud are dudes that pac should avoid if he doesn't wanna take an L.

Porter was Pac's sparring mate before. If Pac calls Porter it means he can dismantle him easily. Porter learned from Pac's sparring days in the wildcard.

Thurman is not fundamentally sound. His style will not work soundly with Pac. This will be competitive.

I can see Spence and Bud are dangerous fights that can give him the fits.

Wait! Pacquiao has tax issues in america?

Kinda agree with this one. Khan got wobbled by Algieri. Yes. Algieri. A Pac straight left would put Khan to sleep.

lmao

Algieri gave Khan a competitive fight and almost dropped him muliple times. Damn. There really are levels in this game.

Mark Kriegel should speculate less on what Manny's debt is, and start brushing up on some boxing. Can't believe this is what they replaced Teddy with, then again it's ESPN, so I can believe it.

Arum saying that Crawford is not a big WW is a joke. Crawford is 5'9" and walks around at about 180, Manny is not even 5'6" walks around at around 142.

Yup like I said. If Pac wants to fight Crawford. He needs to be from another promoter. So he will be protected when it goes to the score cards. In that way win or lose. It's fair game. IF, that's what he wants. But in my book. He should only fight winnable exciting fights, after-all, it's his farewell tour now. I'd like to think his only there for exhibition fights.

I agree he needs to focus on winnable fights

Note that I only said that Pac wouldn't "destroy" those fighters. Broner, Porter, and Khan are definitely likely wins although they could feasibly take Pac deep and bank rounds.

DSG and the Thurman before injury/vaginitis beats Pac. Both too young, long, and active with their feet for Pac at this age.

There you go !! I posted last evening that I was wondering about what Arum was thinking and said ......Bud Crawford!!

I notice that’s arum didn’t mention Lomachenko Hahahaha

PAC better be careful around Arum. He’ll love ya while he puts a rattlesnake on yer neck hahahahaha

So you think Pac has a chance against Crawford? How? Why?

A slim chance. I'm not for it. But in boxing anything can happen. If Pac wants it, it's not like we can do anything about it?

Crawford is fast in both foot speed and hand speed. Fundamentally sound. Pac on the other hand, is slower now in foot speed and hand speed. Plus Crawford is in his prime, and got youth in him and is taller, and lengthier than him. So yeah, Pac is in a whole lot of trouble if he fights Crawford. I say this is a 70-30 fight. Pac only has 30% chance of winning.

That said, Crawford is not someone who should go fighting for Pac's farewell tour. Like I said Pac should go for winnable fights. Crawford will be a mountain to climb for Pac, but if for some miracle he wins it. That's a whole new level of LEGENDARY accomplishment for Pac, but that's wishful thinking.

Still if this happen. I don't want a rigged score card. Pac should not be in Arum's stable when and IF he fights Crawford.
