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

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.

Porter has gotten better? Lol. He should have lost to ugas and he's just the same type of boxer and from what i review in his fight against thurman and spence he's still the same fighter.

IDK about 2005, but in July 2016, Bud was saying Pacquiao had to come to 140! It seemed like that was OK b/c Roach had been saying that Pacquiao could make 140. However it was probably not a good look for Bud to be making demands at the time. He should've said 140 or 147, whichever was comfortable for Pacquiao! Hindsight is 20/20!

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.

I will bet everything i have that pac will beat porter and fyi horn was allowed to wrestle and do every dirty tactics but still pac beat him easily.

Who the f_ck R U to call someone ignorant because they have plans that don’t include your broke a_s.

You non fighting a_s fans kill me with your dumb a_s input, get a job get a career MFing fan!

Family owns a few franchise businesses.

You sound like a r3t@rd.

Go read a book and listen to some Tony Robbins. It’s probably your only chance.

Oh, and Crawford is an ignorant mfer.

'' Hard to say. '' In the first page of this thread you said Manny Pacquaio was 'Ancient' and that Shawn Porter is in his prime. As such, you concluded that a win over Porter is better for Terence Crawford. Yet, you can not determine who wins between a 'Ancient' geezer and a 'Prime' former world champion ranked in the top five at welterweight.

I think you tried to bury Manny Pacquaio but threw Shawn Porter in the grave instead.

I never "buried" or threw anyone in any grave. That's my honest opinion. When it comes down to it I think Porter vs Manny would be a closer fight than Bud vs Manny because of their styles but Bud is still proving more beating a prime Porter than he would be beating an ancient Manny.
When boxing actually starts again, no way Bud vs Manny or Porter, happens behind closed doors so how old would Manny be by the time he would actually fight Bud with an audience? Damn near 43! Ever think about that genius?
I'm a fan of all three. I only give unbias opinions without a double standard, unlike people like yourself.

He's not going to drastically change his style bro. He picked the wrong style against Ugas and the results showed. I agreed he looked poor against Ugas but he only lost to Spence by a KD when most people thought Spence was going to walk through him. He fought a great fight against the #1 or #2 WW in the world. Just because you lose it doesn't mean you're getting worse. Some people don't understand boxing at all. Porter regularly fights better competition than any other WW. You're going to lose some when you don't duck anybody. It's very possible that Spence and even Bud would have a loss if they consistently fought as good competition as Porter.
You people are brainwashed by the Mayweather era of if you lose a fight, you're a bum. I would be sooner to criticize a fighter with an undefeated record who hasn't fought great competition than an old school fighter like Porter who never backs down from a challenge.
That's what competition at the highest level is supposed to be about. Not figuring out how you can keep your ranking by fighting lesser opponents.
I started watching boxing long before the Mayweather era so I had the privilege of seeing competitive fights where a loss wasn't the end of the world.

You will bet everything you have? Like what? Points on boxingscene? GTFOH, you're not betting shi_t. How old do you think Manny will be if he ever fights Porter? Surely that fight isn't happening behind closed doors and even if it does, which is highly unlikely, it's not happening as soon as boxing comes back. Manny is already 41. Are you saying you favor a 42-43 year old Manny against Porter? That's your call. I'm a huge Pacquiao fan and he would've mopped the floor with all these WW from the age of 37 and below but he's not a young man anymore. Personally I would love to see it, I just don't see it happening.

Boxing post Coronavirus in America....

Wilder vs Mike Tyson the older G

Both parties of fans will justify how these fights make sense hahaha

OK Bro, The same 'Ancient' Manny Pacquiao that beats a prime Shawn Porter. Nice chatting with you pal.
