    Manny only said that because he doesn't want to fight Spence. He wants the easier opponent.

      Crawford is not easier than the Spence who flew out of his flying car.

        Either would be competitive at this time

        Guys who counter and box well trouble manny

        manny used to love fighting pressure fighters. But the more recent manny went life and death with Jeff Horn.

        Any combo between the trio is good. You don’t often see southpaw on southpaw violence. And they’re all elite

          I just hate that Spence ruined that Pacquiao fight himself by drinking and driving. It didn't help that covid came and ruined the agenda for the rest of the year.

          Crawford is fighting in the Fall but it won't be Manny since the latter is only legally allowed by the senate to fight either in January or July.

          It'll be interesting who Manny chooses to fight in July 2021 tho. That is most likely his last fight. Presidential Election campaign starts in Oct 2021.

            Crawford is easier than Spence because of his temper. Manny would bait Crawford into all kinds of traps just like Kavaliauskas did.

              Yeah if it’s one or the other

              I rather Spence not Crawford take the torch from manny

              Spence mixes it up with whoever in his weight class

                Manny could have had Spence it was right there, he called out the winner of Mikey Spence and then jumped to Thurman because it was a broken big name with no loses and so an obvious choice. I just wish guys wouldnt call out fighters when they have no intention of taking the fight when its available.

                Now it seems as though Manny is sitting them all out.

                  Spence vs Mikey happened in March 2019

                  Manny was already in negotiations with Thurman at that time since Thurman called out Pacquiao after the Lopez fight. And they're both at the same timeline since they both fought in January.

                  Spence was in the Pac-Thurman fight. He could've easily went up there and called out Pacquiao. He left.

                  EDIT: My bad. Spence couldn't have called out Pacquiao after the Thurman fight because Spence vs Porter was already announced just a day before. See how Spence and Pac are not at the same timeline?

                    the usual pbc hating suspects are gonna call keith desperate or that hes just talking.....

                    i dont hate crawford....at all.....but theyve got arum over there always floating the names of garcia...porter...and then when porters pops says "call us" bud is on camera a week later saying "nah not on my radar"...you got timmy bradley on their beggin the pbc guys.....but its just whatever....the same guys will say thurman is pricing himself out no matter what he says or does....

                    arum loves floating the pbc names to perpetuate the myth that they duck....the minute one of thems father says "call us we can make a fight" theyre shooting down the fight a week later...even though arum kept saying "were looking at porter...we want porter"....yet a year before that arum is out there running his mouth saying neither garcia or porter are elite....he loves thinking he can talk about these guys and they wont respond because they usually dont....because they have tons of good fights to make in house

                    these guys didnt want pac/crawford...until keith took the fight and lost...then theyre acting like "ohh pac/crawford is the figh everyone needs"...

                      So youre saying while calling out winner of Garcia Spence he was in negotiation with Thurman. The fight was announced May 10th, Spence Garcia was 2mths earlier.

                      Manny was not in negotiating with Thurman until after the Lopez and after the Spence fight I would bet money on it, youre comment does not align with the dates. as it says Manny was in a 3-4mth negotiation with Thurman and in the mean time calling out everyone.
