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

[Mike D]

Great objective points. I argued these same exact points last time this topic came up here but the hate for Manny won’t allow some of these clowns to see how the fight could play out on either side. It’s always Crawford is going to murder him...blah blah..u can’t tell they don’t know ish about boxing. Sure Crawford should be favored but he ll have to show true grit to beat Manny. You murder somebody that is a bum or doesn’t belong. Manny even at 42 is neither of those things.

Yeah it's crazy to me the level of disrespect that Manny gets from some people. They hate his fans so much that they've virtually blinded themselves into being infinitely biased against him in every conceivable way. He gets absolutely zero credit from these people. It just boggles my mind how easily people can dismiss a first ballot hall of famer, with 62 career wins and 39 stoppages, 8 division titlist, and someone who will go down in boxing history as one of the most legendary names to lace them up.

It's like they pretend that they live in a reality where none of that exists or something.

Crawford is the kind of slick boxer/puncher that Pacquiao should avoid. Manny moves well but Crawford moves better. Manny hits hard but Crawford hits just as hard. This would make for a good career ending fight for Pacquiao. Crawford would finish off Pacquiao.

This is the correct answer.

Too much overrating of Crawford and too much being made of Manny's age when Manny has a win over prime, undefeated Keef.

you being the boxing savant that you are swore up and down that horn would destroy crawford and you were dead wrong about that! its obvious you have some weird hate for crawford and your opinion about him including fight predications should be ignored.

it all comes from the fl0Mos. they were traumatized for years because their idol would not fight pac and they had to spend all their time on boxing message forums defending and justifying the ducking on froid's part plus they hate how beloved and respected Pacquiao is around the world and the fact that most people respect Pacquiao's career more than froid's. true boxing fans would never denigrate pacquiao like that.

Styles make fights but Crawford didn't out box Horn he beat him down, Terrance fought Horn's fight and dam near killed him. If you get a chance, watch Horn vs Manny and then Crawford again. Crawford is far too much for Manny and I for one do not want to see that fight.

Horn got away with too much in his fight with Pacquiao, you really think Crawford is gonna walk down Pac?

disagree... look at the horn fight for a perfect example.. and crawford does not move better than manny... crawford has youth, boxing skills, good size advantage over.. pac has experience, speed and power over crawford. should be a good 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.

blah blah blah.. that's what yall said about pac vs floyd... "floyd will be pac's last fight and that's how they gonna milk pac" blah blah blah.. 5-6 years later, pac is still fighting at the top level. lmao!!!!

he didn't really call him out in a commercial. Never said his name. Plus, the commercial wasn't his idea. It was skit fool. Crawford resigned with top rank because he had a sense of loyalty to them. Not out of fear of anyone. Pac resigned with arum in the past when he shouldn't have either. He didn't leave until he was damn near 40.

lies again.. pac been calling floyd out.. then pac called floyd out again for a rematch.


so crawford re-signed with TR because of loyalty?? lmao!!! but when pac did it, pac was ducking floyd??!!! and let me remind you, pac was getting $20 mil per fight.. where as for crawford, not even close, so why did he re-signed with TR knowing all the good fight is over at PBC where he would have made more!!! "loyalty" buahahaah!!!!!


Manny Pacquiao is putting the full-court press on Floyd Mayweather to try pressuring the undefeated fighter to step into the ring with him.

On Tuesday, Pac-Man called out Mayweather via Twitter.

I can easily beat Floydmayweather, I believe that.

If you really care about the fans, you will fight. If you care about yourself… you won't fight. #MannySmile

here's more.. after beating algieri in 2014..

Manny Pacquiao called out Floyd Mayweather after defeating Chris Algieri in a lopsided welterweight title fight on Sunday.

“I think it’s time to make that fight happen,” Pacquiao said of the long-discussed match with the unbeaten Mayweather. “The fans really deserve that fight. It’s time to say, yes, so people can prepare for early next year.”

[Manic Shot]

Blah blah blah! This is like Manny vs Undefeated Algieri 2.
Bud will go down several times.
