Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Long-Term Future Best Served By Avoiding Crawford

[Loque-san]

Silly post.

Says the idiot with the red bar.

Your reading comprehension is trash.

Maybe cause Roach said it publicly.. Duhhhh, Lmaooo what does it matter of roach said hed get pac ready. He has no choice. That's his job. But roach when out of his way to say he didn't like that fight for pac, which is something he never does. He says some dumb shet about who he thinks pac can beat, but how often have you heard him say, nah, I'd rather not make that fight? Exactly.

roach also said in that same article that crawford cant beat manny... why you leaving that part out?? and here is bob talking about team pac reaching out for a potential crawford fight but you just said arum said pac doesnt want it and you used that as facts.. so is arum lying or telling the truth now? lol!!!

“Pacquiao and his people have reached out to me about the possibility of a Crawford fight,” Arum said.

here is roach talking about spence or crawford being next for manny... "bu bu but freddie roach says he doesnt want manny to fight crawford doe"

Roach said the priority is a return with Floyd Mayeather (but judging by what Leonard Ellerbe has said, with Floyd having “no interest” in a second fight with Pacquiao, this fight seems even less probable than Pacquiao-Khan), and that if that cannot happen, Manny will “look at Errol Spence, Terence Crawford, those guys.”

Bullsheeit. Pacman vs Bud is a logical fight. Thurman got the smoke and there's no reason why Pac can't make Crawford work hard for a W - or he might even do something crazy and whoop Bud's azz
Sure to be an edge of the seat fight.

lmaooo Pacquiao fans are so ******, they don't even realize how dumb they are. The only reason pac vs Crawford hasn't happened yet is because it'd be the last fight of pacs career. Risch knows it and arum knew it. Crawford would murder him. So just thank your lucky stars at night when you're praying to pac that the fight hasn't happened yet, because it's allowed pac to remain relevant for a little bit longer.

Pac isn't a young guy any more and though he beat Keith, he really shouldn't be in there with Bud.

Unless JMM wants an old man fight or if Khan wants to finally put to bed what happened at Freddie's gym, Pac should retire or at least have one last showcase fight. But Bud? Too dangerous...unless Pac wants to go out like that, then go for it.

Yay another Fitzsimmons article. Dude loves his Mayweather ****, and has moved on to Crawfords nutsack I see.

dont know who this guy is saw his name in articles before sounds like a real tool tho. is he another TopRank payroll writer who never writes anything criticizing TR or Arum???

[RL_GMA]

I think this fight for Crawford would be a "Damn if he wins / Damn is he doesn't" kind of scenario.

Crawford's biggest criticism is he hasn't fought anyone at 147. Those same people very likely won't give him credit for beating a 42 year old Manny yet would be ok with Spence beating him. I never understood that narrative when both Spence and Crawford arguably are the 1A / 1B of the Division. So why would one guy get credit over the other for beating a 42 year old Manny Pacquiao?

The irony of it all though is if Pac vs Crawford happened next with Spence v Garcia happening in November, we would be looking at Boxing's 1st UNDISPUTED WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT in YEARS (now with the WBO included and assuming Ring / Lineal)

Manny would handle Bud.

I'm very skeptical that Crawford can handle that level of speed and tenacity. Even at 40+, Manny is levels above anything Crawford has seen.

He struggled with Gamboa's speed early and Kavaliauskas dropped him. It would be a long night for Bud if he fought Pacquiao.

Pac gets KO'd within 9 rounds vs TC... Pac would realize very early on he's in with a different animal, best switch hitter on the planet... TC's too long, strong, mean, skilled & determined... he'd walk Pac down for some rounds administering a terrible end of career beating for Pac.... hospital visit needed for Pac afterwards...
