Comments Thread For: Crawford: I'm Hoping The Manny Pacquiao Fight is Next!

[PRchamp]

Here's what's going to happen if this fight gets made... Pac fans will actually think he has a shot, they'll talk him up & will actually convince themselves that he will put on a vintage performance. Crawford will completely destroy him to a merciful stoppage by roach, but won't get any credit because pacs an old man.

Yes that is true, Crawford gets no credit beating a 40 year old fighter. Greedy Crawford and top rank trying to make some $$$ because their stable sucks

[KillaMane26]

Even though TC won't get too much credit.... He needs this fight to build his name.

At the end of the day i want Spence/Crawford to be a big fight and this is the type of fight Crawford needs ( along with fights vs ranked 147lbers)

Mikey should come up more slowly and carefully, if at all.
Danny would be interesting as would Bud, the toughest of the bunch.
But the guy I'd like to see against Pac is Shawn.

Yes the same Manny, but you chose 1 negative over the countless positives in his prime that made Manny the all time great, hofer , and legend that he is today and will be in boxing for years to come.. Weak straw man argument.. Manny decapitates Crawford in his prime based on what they've both done in their primes, TC's not even close to Pacquiao's level.. He maybe close to an over the hill part time Manny now lol

————-

You are right. I chose 1 negative. Please allow me to correct myself.

The same Manny that over the last 10 years fought has fought 17 times.

Catchweight advantage: Cotto, Margarito, Marquez

Fighters coming off losses: Mosley, Rios, Margarito, Broner, Clottey

Fighting Unknown Guys over legit WW: Algieri, Horn

Getting beat by: Marquez, Floyd, Bradley, Horn

Fighting Bums: Brandon Rios, Broner, Mathysse

So out of 17 fights, the only legit guys he fought were Floyd, Bradley and Thurman. Both Floyd and Bradley beat him.

If we go back 15 years, we’ll find a list of cherry picked opponents for dubious titles:
Weight drained Oscar at 147 (last time Oscar fought at WW was 7 years prior), David Diaz for a fringe belt at 135. I bet you have no idea who Diaz is unless you google him.

Manny has 7 losses and more than a dozen rematches/trilogies on his resume.

So much for an ATG!!

When it comes to Manny, I like to give his fans a taste of their own medicine. They believe Manny has never lost.
It was either a lucky punch or an injured shoulder or a robbery.
The truth is even I know he got robbed against Horn. More important, nobody knew who Horn or Algieri were prior to the PAC fights. I follow boxing religiously and those were guys that weren’t on anyone’s radar until Manny chose to fight them.
And I know Manny idol worshippers only know if their idol and Floyd.

When it comes to Floyd Fanboy Sympathists, I love exposing them as hypocrites. When Floyd lost to Castillo you guys used Floyd's fake shoulder injury as an excuse. Oscar and Maidana beat Floyd way before you can credit Bradley and Horn over Manny. Guerrero, Ortiz, Berto, Connor, and Maidana were all bums before and after fighting Floyd.

Manny fighting at 147 for a whole decade is equivalent to Floyd fighting at 154 for a whole decade since they both have a 7-10 pound difference in walk around weight. Only one of them accomplished that feat and is still currently the only Champ at Welter who beat the man who beat the man!

Floyd ducked Thurman when Floyd was younger than Manny when Manny whooped 1 Time.

A Manny win vs GGG, who Floyd also ducked, would have you guys driving off a bridge with your Floyd posters in the trunk!

Pac fights every fighter that floyd ducked (margarito, thurman)

[IBOX4LIFE]

Correct!

He. wants that WBA belt for better negotiations with Spence. so he can say I'm the A side and I should get the bigger slice of that pie. I'm thinking smart move T C.

TBC needs to get that WBA belt so he can attempt to get as much of the pie as he can because Spence Jr has two belts and filled AT&T Stadium so he has the upper hand right now in negotiations between the two.

Pacquaio wouldn’t fight Crawford when they had the same promoter.

Very much doubt he would now.
