    You should be embarrassed, do the research for christsake and edit your idiotic post.

    What Bob is telling you is that, Manny should not fight Spence before Crawford because he is afraid of the possibility that the one and only superfight for Crawford might get derailed by Pacquiao.

    Similar reason why he doesn't want Crawford fighting Pacquiao, it's not about Manny's health, but the possibility of Crawford losing and blowing away his 20-30m investment without successfully passing the torch. Bob Arum has always said that he is not a gambler--it's not in his DNA; and the unpredictability of Manny's ring potential, even at his age, make it so that ******** against him is extremely perilous.

    This is why Crawford should leave Bob Arum as soon as he legally can, --Arum did not trust him enough to invest on him on Pacquiao and he may have lost that chance forever because there's a big possibility that Manny would just settle-down in PBC until his retirement because after all, Uncle Al is paying him so well and is treated with respect.

        What's your opinion on Arum? Which one did hit your spot?

Hes good but i cant see why he's now some George Foreman type figure.If he doesn't stop Porter, and i think he doesn't, can we stop exaggerating all this danger?
          His camp fell off right at the end, it was in the side notes if you followed that fight he was just a bit flat never really peaked, would be a acclimating thing.

          He is too big and strong for Manny, too in prime, too hungry and his style is all wrong for Manny being an excellent body puncher that punches straight not wide like Thurman, but fight wont happen anyway his trainer and match maker will not put Manny in with Spence especially if Spence stops Porter, only if Spence is non impressive will Manny fight him, you wait and see Im not often wrong with this sort of thing, this Danny Garcia scenario is something Manny thrives on, high profile name but not quite elite.

          We will know soon enough !

            Pac s win over thurman is historically better than anything any W W had ever did. Pac don't need spence.
            Many think Pac beat the no1 W W in thurman already. And if thurman wasn't no1 I want to see Crawford or spence beat thurman with my own eyes

              The Brook fight being in the UK and Errol not being at his tip top best showed just how physically tough he is in the trenches , the Garcia fight showed how good of a technical boxer he is , he is a big straight punching south paw , my friend you better learn how to read form Errol will stop Porter and only TC because of his speed-timing and accuracy has a chance to beat Errol right now, Manny and Thurman are both soundly beaten by both Errol and Crawford.
              stop overrating them.
              we all knew that they are bums.

                  I was on the record saying Manny could get hurt against Spence or Crawford, not so sure now. Pac can more than hold his own against either. Thurman was a young, strong, very talented champion who beat Garcia & Porter. Manny’s win against Keith should make everyone re-access a potential fight with Spence or Crawford.

                    oh really. Last time a checked Mayweather whooped Pacquiao. Plus Thurman and Terrence Duckford wants no part of Spence. Neither does pacquiao. He literally was shaking in his clothes when put on the spot in the ring after the Spence and Garcia fight. He had a up close view of a 12 round skilled beating and clearly ducked 🦆. If he's going to continue to fight he absolutely needs Spence. 🥊

                      Pac beat Thurman in his prime so I don't see why he shouldn't fight Spence. When it comes down to it boxing is a dangerous sport period. I understand some fighters are more skilled and stronger but the fight doesn't always go in favor of the stronger or more skilled fighter. All it takes is ONE mistake and you can get KO'd. I say let Manny fight Spence and get that money!
