    The question is why these guys didn’t try their best to fight a legend. These millennials think opportunities land on their laps. They need to bust their butt and offer themselves to even get into Pacquiao’s busy schedule.

      How much decline must a fighter show before careful matchmaking is allowed by the fans.

      manny and Crawford were both promoted by bop at the same time. We all know shared promoter easy to make fight. Yet manny hasn't fought Crawford and gets a ****** pass for it by most fans.

      manny is the better fighter than Spence based on their current records. Shouldn't there be more pressure on manny to face the greatest threat.
      ... Grandpa, dear... it's not the best moment for you to post something like this... don't you think?...

          Works both ways because manny himself stated he doing it for legacy.

          I like Crawford boxing style and can admit his opposition at 147 has been average

          This was posted because I'm Spence fan. They all deserve a fair shake.

            Except manny proved a lot when he whooped Thurman.

            Longevity is admired in boxing.

                At this time Manny is NOT a better fighter than Spence now based on records. Manny has a loss not so long ago to lousy Horn. Yes that was a robbery but still a lose. It's very doubtful Horn would even last 12 rounds with Spence even in Australia. Pac's big win is over Thurman who has seen better days and was almost KOed by mediocre Lopez. If Pac was to fight Spence he would be the underdog in the betting. As far as fans putting pressure on Pac to fight Spence I don't think they can. Pac is a legend and a cash cow and he can fight or not fight whoever he wants within reason.

                  Good question Leon. I guess when Emmanuel was with bop, bop didn't want to risk the possibility of his new fighter losing to a fading Emmanuel. Cottoe had careful matchmaking and his fans allowed it. Floyd shared promoter and easy to make fight with Spence but got a ****** pass for fighting McGregor. Is your Friday boring Leon to be asking for a 40 year old faded Emmanuel to fight Bud? I guess so Leon

                    If being a Spence fan reduces you to the childish "It's not fair, what about him?" argument, maybe it's time to re-access your position.

                      Spence vs Crawford puts 2 undefeated prime champions against each other. That's why we want this fight.

                      Pac is past prime. We already know what his legacy is.

                      We are still waiting to see what the legacies of Errol and Bud will be and them fighting goes a long way in determining it.
