Comments Thread For: Crawford To Pacquiao: I Was Scared? You Didn't Want To Fight!

[Jsmooth9876]

Pacquiao of old might have been a fight but today he's lucky if he gets past Broner. Pacquiao is just too old, he's a shell of what he was and they're using him. Watch and see, they're using him and when they've used up his name they'll toss him aside.

Lucky to get past Broner? Is Broner gonna magically get good all of a sudden? The dude couldn't beat Jessie Vargas for Christ sake. I'd take Pac at 50 to beat Broner in his Prime. The dude doesn't let his hands go and stands there getting hit all night. He's a B level guy and Manny is not gun shy just yet. Easy W for Pac.

If Crawford wanted to fight the best and biggest names
then he would not have re-signed with Top Rank when he
had the opportunity to leave.

People keep ignoring this point though lol Why stay there? We saw this situation coming 2 years ago. Surely he did too.

The real truth is years ago Pac pases on this fight when he and Koncz said they needed at least 20 mil for the fight. Loma wasn’t even an option until way after that when Koncz and Freddie Roach both said they didn’t want Crawford.

That’s when Loma became an option.

This is on record, makes me really wonder if Pac really said Crawford is avoiding him or it might be a mistranslation.

Crawford started doing a whole lot of talking after he re-signed and realized he's in "protective custody ".

A similar situation would be Charlo signing long term to exclusively fight on Showtime, then calling all the middleweights on DAZN out.

Crawford knew what he was getting into. Might as well start beefs with Machine Dude or whoever his next realistic D level opponent will be.

Crawford looked every bit of 31 vs Benavidez. other welters think it's sweet now. they smell blood.

I remember Crawford saying he'll take the Pac fight at 140.
There you go, a roadblock.

No matter what Crawford does in his career he will never be nowhere near as good as the great Manny Pac was . Pac faced hall of famers cotto Mosley Oscar Hatton Floyd barrera 2 Morales 3 Juan Marquez 4 easy the best fight act the barrera Marquez Pac and Morales since hagler hearn Duran sugar ray he was the best of them. and even though he lost to Floyd at end of there careers Pac should be classed as the bigger legend in future years

Makes no difference now... But the REAL truth is Bobfather wanted Pac as a feeder for his new Manny (Lomachenko). Arum stopped this (Crawford/Pacquiao) fight from happening.

Bobby is a full blown Crawdawg now... lol
You took 2 long BoB

He preferred Loma, but Loma drew a hard line in the sand on the weight issue, and Manny didn't want to suck himself down to 135.

He had no problems at all with feeding Manny to Crawford except for Manny asking for a 20 million guarantee.

[man down]

I think we can all agree that Crawford afraid of Pacquiao is delusional.

Either Pacquiao is promoting a Broner match or he needs an intervention.

OR Bob is a liar and lied to Manny because he had plans.

Yeah, Bobfather would have never made Crawford/Pac, anyways.
He mentioned Loma, even Mikey when he was with TR.
He floated Vargas long before the fight was made.
Same with Bradley.
Never Crawford.
Probably when Pac is so washed up.
Not that Terence needed protection.
But that's how Bob behaved when it came to TC.
