    This is the fight that i really really want for pac. Pac will make crawford look like an amateur in the ring and haters will make excuses like crawford has been knock down by a no name, Crawford is too old for pac and past his prime.

      First, Horn beat Manny up and Crawford easily brutalized Jeff. Second, Crawford's best opponents avoid him and that's a matter of record. I want to see the best fight the best and others are just trying to win arguments. Unfortunately winning arguments doesn't change facts. I don't need to see Joe Joyce fight Wilder to know that Joe gets knocked out.

      Let me be clear, I was thrilled that Manny beat Thurman because that fight was supposed to be a trap. Lure Manny into a potential rematch then switch him off to a young loin to steal his legend, it was a criminal and it back fired, and I'm glad. But make no mistake, Manny got hit a lot, he sustained a lot of damage because he's getting old.

      That said, Crawford is the wrong style for Manny and at this stage of their careers Bud is just overwhelmingly better. I don't want to see the fight because even though I favor Crawford my heart will be with the underdog. Manny is not what he once was and if he fights Crawford he will not walk away. I don't want Manny to be beaten, I want him to retire on top as one of the best that have ever lived. He's done enough.

      Name Crawford's best opponent...I mean really think about it - then remember who Manny Pacquiao is.

          It's not hatred it's about NOT wanting to see Manny in a Ray Lenard vs Terry Norris moment. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to notice that Manny took real punishment from Keith. Keith was hurting Manny late, go re-watch the last three rounds.

          No I don't want to see Manny tempt fate with a killer like Bud, Porter or Spence. I would they rather leave Manny's legacy intact because NOBODY beats time and Manny is old.

              Pac has 2 more fights left in my opinion. If he beats Crawford, his last fight could be against Spence for all of the marbles. I'm not sure he wins either at his age, but I'm not sure Crawford or Spence are as good as advertised. Tough fights....but to retire as undisputed champ sure would look good on his record.

                To be honest, Manny's particular style is all wrong for Floyd, always will be. Also true is that Floyd could easily have fought prime Manny and he didn't. After the loss Manny went to the PBC for a rematch and Floyd turned it down.
                Manny refused drug tests and they became standard for all of Floyd's fights. Theres no advantage in PED drug tests so I never understood why people were upset. An even playing field is a GOOD thing.

                The only reason OSDT isnt used for ALL fights is because its too expensive...that's literally the ONLY reason. So why would fans opposed fair testing for the supposed BEST fighters?

                Anyhow when the fight finally DID HAPPEN...they did OSDT and Manny lost with his BACNE and all

                  This is a great farewell fight for Manny. Beat a primeish Crawford and retire on top. That win probably puts him ahead of Floyd ATG and definitely puts him Top 10 ATG.

                    Manny would legitimately have a claim to GOAT if he were to do that

                      [QUOTE=Roadblock;20689044]lol lol Manny doesnt have walks in the park even with B graders, last time Tiger had a walk in the park was when he was draining opponents, even B grade school teachers ruffed him up lol.

                      TC is not broken arm Thurman and thats why I think Manny will fight Mikey Garcia .[/QUOTE

                      You do know the same can be said for Crawford and Mayweather but like 10x worse right?!? Crawford hasn't fought anyone in the welterweight division and Mayweather is on record - I can send you the link- of saying he handpicks his opponent...at least Manny fought a top #3 WW as apposed to who ? Green machine? And then gets dropped by this nobody lol..u sound like a bias brotha...we all fight fans that's it bro put on the colorblinders
