Comments Thread For: Crawford: I've Been Trying To Fight Pacquiao Since 2015

[STREET CLEANER]

Really? Chasing since 2015? Or Bob dangled this plan and you went along with it.

Crawford has had plenty of time to add better names to his resume and is still talking about fighting this guy or the other guy.

Crawford is caught up with himself. I say he will get in trouble outside the ring before anything big happens.

What's funny is that the fight is much more interesting now than it ever was since 2015. Around that time Pac was past it, he had the losses to Mayweather and then Horn two years later, he hadn't put on an inspired effort in years. The Thurman win has him right back near the top of the division and a fight with Crawford has a lot more meaning.

The hype job cherrypicking clown fights faded former champs, bums, and b class or lower trinket holders though. This is all a facade and his dumb fanboys eat it up. He re-signed with Top Rank and ESPN exclusivity to duck these fighters, protect his glass jaw, and not have the negative media he deserves for cherrypicking and being overhyped.

This version of Manny who is near the end of his career and nowhere near his prime, like what you've mentioned—has hurt, knocked down, and convincingly defeated Keith Thurman; who Porter lost to.

How can you convince someone that beating Porter (who lost to Thruman) would be more meaningful than beating an ancient Pacquiao (who defeated Thurman and took his belt)?

Who cares if Thurman beat Porter. That was Thurman in his prime before his long injury prone layoff and that fight was close as hell. Porter has just gotten better since then and Thurman has gotten worse, looking like crap against Josesito Lopez and blowing it against Manny. I think Crawford vs Porter would be a great matchup. Crawford vs Pacquiao has more of a chance to be a blowout points win for Bud. That's just my opinion anyways. If Bud wants to prove his greatness at WW, he should fight Porter then Spence. Manny is better then all of them in his prime. He is no longer in his prime and beating Thurman, although very impressive at his age, isn't the same as beating Spence or Crawford who are clearly a level above Thurman. I would watch Bud against Manny, Porter or Spence, I just prefer Bud vs Porter or Spence.

Are you ****** or do you not understand that Manny is near the end of his career and NOWHERE near his prime? Porter is still in his prime. You cannot convince me that beating an ancient Manny is better than beating a top 5 WW in his prime. You have made so many ****** comments on here that nobody takes anything you say seriously. That's evident by the numerous responses calling out your insistent stream of BS. Go back to jerking off to your cardboard cutout of the Alabama Slamma'.

Past prime Pac is still a better scalp than Porter, both for the name and the fact that Pac is at least as good as Porter. He's past it but he proved he is at least as good a welterweight as Porter, if not better.

If bob woulda gave u that fight in 2015.. U wouldn't have been ready bud.. U might be ready now.. But its 2020!

Crawford wants a chance to prove he is an ATG in the ring. Unfortunately opposing promoters and their fighters don't have the same aspirations, they talk and tell you why they won't fight.

Styles make fights and Porter is a bigger, stronger more skilled fighter then Jeff Horn. After Manny got mugged by Horn, I'd bet the farm on Porter beating Manny. Porter is under rated, he is a tough, tough outing for anyone....including Crawford.

Spot on, I'd pay for all of those fights. All tough, tough competitive fights.

Everyone knows you need to give PBC fighters cover for ducking Crawford. Thanks for the blind hate and now that you've taken care of job one, how about something that makes sense?
