    So Pacman has a 0% chance against either one of them? Please.

    Correct, 42 year old pac has absolutely no chance and you are fooling yourself if you believe otherwise. His last fight he squeaked by an inactive, unmotivated and overated keith Thurman which was nearly two years ago at this point.

    I am getting the feeling you may not understand what a 0% chance is. Did Porter have a 0% chance against Spence? Did Kavaliauskas have a 0% chance against Crawford (who he had hurt)? Come on man, you are talking out of the seat of your jeans right now. Crawford has never even fought anyone close to the level of Pac. I would put Crawford as a slight favorite over Manny.

    The entire sports world, and the sports books who set the odds all disagree with you, it isn't just me.

    Crawford, Spence and everyone else involved need to stop ****ing about and get this fight arranged.

    This is typical of why the UFC overtaking boxing.

    The best should be fighting the best

    Instead we're constantly having to put up with bull**** politics and posturing.

    If you are the best, THEN FIGHT THE BEST.

    I'm getting the feeling that you don't understand practical communication. Yes I understand there is no such thing as a 0% chance. What I mean by 0% is that I as a boxing fan feel extremely certain that Crawford and spence both would hurt pac badly and I would not want him taking either fight if I knew him and cared for him personally

    Cool. So you say 0%, I question you on it. Your answer is doubling down by saying he has absolutely no chance.

    Then when pressed further, you contradict yourself and start saying that Pac has a chance. You are just talking in circles. Posting empty comments that you do not even agree with, it is all a bit bizarre.

    The fight is probably 60/40 in favor of Crawford, and that may be a bit generous. Likely 55/45 by the time the bell rings. We are all entitled to our opinions, and judging a boxer's chance is highly subjective. Since your stance is no longer 0%, what is it then?

    Here's the long and short of it, i don't think Manny can beat these guys at his stage. There's a chance anything can happen just like there's a chance pac is actually a bipedal crab creature wearing a human suit.

    The jist of what I meant is abundantly clear yet you decided to waste your time typing out a 200 word argument on semantics. I have no interest in debating you further as it appears to be a complete waste of time.

    Oh and just before you respond

    "200 words" was an approximation
    "Complete waste of time" means I sense a general lack of desire to understand my opinions so I don't see the point in using my time to persuade you

    Sounds good! Perhaps you learned a lesson on how to speak with meaning.

    The fight ain't happening so **** them both. Neither was willing to meet in the middle to make the fight happen. Both could have got well paid and produce a legacy fight. Basically neither wanted it bad enough. Fans should ignore their BS and move on. There are plenty of other good fighters and bouts out there to focus on.

    I'll make sure and call you out next time you say something where the literal interpretation can be disputed but long story short yea, I don't see any way he can win at this age and I will be betting a large sum of money against him should either fight ever happen
