    I suppose Canelo isn't legit either, so Crawford's best win just isn't very good.

    Are you slow? Or just trying to rewrite history? Manny demanded 8 oz gloves and $10 million penalty per pound overweight along with a third stipulation I dont member off top of my head, but Floyd agreed to all without issue.

    Floyd made 1 demand of his own, drug testing, and Manny had a toddler temper tantrum. He wanted to give blood at certain times, wanted VADA instead of USADA, gave a littany of excuses why he couldn't do it...blood weakens him and hes afraid of needles and Floyds not bigger than the Commission...these excuses went on for years.

    Manny was very likely a PED cheat though concrete evidence will never see the light.

    And why did Manny do that? Because when Floyd was to face JMM at 144, Floyd ignored the weight limit and came in heavy. :lol: You really thought you had me there. That's cute.

    Still with the 'afraid of needles'... crap. You are either too dense or just stupid. Guessing a little bit of both.
    Funny how you need concrete evidence, yet when FLoyd took a whole bunch of saline before his drug test, you STFU conveniently.

    You aren't a serious poster. You're a child.

    Pacman lost a lot of fights. He was overrated imo. He would have used also.

    I do believe Crawford would beat Pacquiao prime for prime, but that doesn’t mean Pacquiao wasn’t legit, it’s a styles thing too.

    What is your purpose. That is a goofy and pointless response. I just explained what happened and this is what you came back with. Are you just looking for attention.

    Let Crawford be bitter about not getting a shot at Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao agreed to fight Spence when cornered. He ended up fighting Ugas and lost.

    doesnt bother me one bit.

    Crawford continues to show his beta attitude when he gives his flowers to Mayweather.

    Well, Mayweather just happened to come out of retirement to fight Pacquiao again. Pacquiao is the easier of the two.

    Truthfully you sound more bitter towards Crawford than he does about the situation.

    If a fighter was promised a LEGACY fight that obviously would have brought him a huge payday, WHY WOULDN'T that fighter have a problem with it. And he was promised this fight as the means to get him to resign twice with a promotional company that he later sued for defamation or something.

    You're conveniently skipping facts....... or maybe you don't know the facts which in case you should probably stop taking such a strong stance on something you know nothing about.

    Manny agreed to fight Spence after giving Crawford the runaround in negotiations. He first asked for $28M to fight Crawford during the pandemic, which means, no audience, no gate.....just a straight $28M. Top Rank agreed, the next week his demand went up to $40M. Why is that? This is the same Crawford that at the time, people were claiming doesn't have a strong following, can't sell tickets, etc.....but Manny is demanding $40M to fight him, more than he's gotten from any other opponent not named Mayweather. And when the negotiation falls through, less than 2 weeks later, he agrees to fight Spence for a guarantee of $5M.......

    How is Crawford giving flowers to Mayweather a sign of Crawford showcasing a "beta attitude" towards Manny. Nothing Crawford is stating today, he didn't saw years ago while they both were active.

    Crawford knew from the start that he could beat Manny, just wanted the opportunity to show it. Manny was protected from him. They were on the same promotional company....Crawford couldn't get the fight but Jeff Horn was given a shot......who was Jeff Horn before the Manny fight? Hell, who is he today take away the Manny fight and whippin he got from Crawford. Crawford held the world title that Manny lost to Horn and was calling out Manny who didn't have a title at all, but Manny chose to fight 2 other individuals who chose not to fight Crawford in Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman.

    Everything I stated is documented. Can be found on a timeline. It's not my opinion. It's willful ignorance to keep trying to arguing with history.

    There’s no drug tests either for this upcoming event so I guess Manny is still juicing.

    Pacman looked roided against El Terrible in their second fight, he looked absolutely ripped.

    Roach and Manny swerved Crawford in like 2014, before Floyd. Bud wouldve badly beaten Manny and Roach knew that. And it wouldve ruined the Floyd payday.
