No, Pac should not take this fight. If it's his next, it will be his first fight for almost two years so that's a big no in itself. After that he'll soon be 43.
Hard to say, need to see Crawford with a live body, not broken Kell and Amir Khan. Porter, Thurman, Spence would be very good tests to benchmark him. right now, he could be the best or just one of the best, hard to say. but pac always has a chance, any opponent including Floyd, he beats on his night.
I don't know, Pacman has always thrived being the underdog. The only fight that he lost as the underdog was the Floyd fight. And his camp has that shoulder excuse, so... Crawford would be the big favorite, and very rightfully so. Everybody would probably predict a slaughter if and when the fight is announced. Heck some might even worry for the senator's well-being, and again very rightfully so. But it is also true that at welterweight we have not really seen Bud coming into a fight where he might lose just as much as he might win. He has not been tested yet against an elite, prime welterweight because sigh, yes, promoters are evil and so on. We had to content ourselves seeing him against a petty thieves' lineup--as opposed to um, a proverbial murderer's row--at '47. Brook and to an extent Khan may have been "murderers" at some point, but these days their ability analogy to crime would simply amount to the "breaking and entering" kind. Granted he was undisputed at light-welter and lineal at lightweight, but the only opponent in his resumé at these lower weights that comes within sniffing distance of being an elite talent rather than a plain belt-holder is Gamboa. It was the same story at '47. Yes he got another belt, but the question that needs to be asked is, against who? Did he take it from an elite talent, or a beltholder who got it under at best dubious circumstances? But alas, because this win is in yet another weight class most in boxing not only did not ask, but strengthened his pound-for-pound case for him. And so, most of us keep on assessing him based on stellar performances against mostly either beltholder-type opposition or in recent times past-prime names, ignoring the very real possibility of a mirage right before our very eyes.
Pacman should've just retired after the Thurman fight. That was the perfect way to go off into the sunset.
Pac is on crack to fight either Crawford or Spence Floyd knew to yeet out of there after he gave his boy Berto a payday. Beating Thurman alone was pretty good for Pac. Not sure we've ever seen an older smaller man achieve so much.
I think PAC does have a chance because Bud is not as defensively minded as a Floyd which will give PAC more opportunities. PAC can never be written off even at 42.
At this stage in his career he needs to just retire. Bud will get praise and glorified for another JMM TKO 6 on the old warrior
No but god damn if he decided to fight him and beats him then lets start a new religion. I'd gladly become a ******* jesus christ.
