    Could not make this **** up. So after going on for a while that he didn't want to feed Pac to Crawford back in 2016-2018 because Pac was shot and would get destroyed, it was obvious, he now wants to make the fight when Pac is going to be near 42. LMAO.

    And people still think Pac ducked Crawford and believed that b.s.

    I was right all along, the theory as always been that Arum didn't want to risk Crawford (his next cash cow) against the fading legend, he wasn't sure Crawford could beat him, so he was waiting for Pac to fade yet. Unfortunately, that didn't go to plan when Pac was robbed by Horn and decided to leave him. So out of bitterness, he claims that Pac was too shot for Crawford and that's why he didn't make the fight.

    Now he's making the fight just proves that he's been waiting and waiting until Crawford is ready and Pac is as shot as can be. Too shot 3 years ago but ok now, lol.

    I'd favour Spece/Crawford over Pac atm, the man has no stamina left and will be worn down in the later rounds, he got lucky he hurt Thurman with a bodyshot. That said, I wouldn't count Pac out, too much power and speed, he can shock them yet by picking up the early rounds.

    I still give Pacquiao a shot. He will be Crawford's toughest challenge.

    Pac just beat Thurman and has a major title now this is a unification fight and sets up an undisputed clash with Spence after. Changes things quite a bit. No idea why any boxing fan would complain about this

    50/50 fight at this point. Bud has looked great against fighters that wouldn't even make Pac's top 10.

    If we are talking about the last time we saw them in the ring ONLY. Pac looked better, in a fight with much higher stakes.

    Crawford is very impressive, but only at the B level so far. It is also possible he freezes on his first big global stage. You never know in these situations, too many variables to stamp Bud as lock to win this one. Give me Pac by decision, I am sure the odds will be attractive.

    Pacquiao will be pushing 42 and out of the ring over a year. He’s ripe for the taking.

    Disagree pac had nothing to lose fighting Thurman who in all honesty was b level when he walked into the ring against pac. Pac loses he can say he fought a top guy at 41 he wins he looks like a superhero. Crawfords entire career is on the line every fight he's young if he looks poor against anyone fans can just say he was a sham all along

    Arum keeps Crawford in cage under his desk

    now Arum has Fury he will risk feeding a 33 year old Crawford to a 50 year old Pac

    boxing is a joke it's a massive risk reward game.

    AJ is only getting fed to Fury by Hearn next year because that fight and the rematch will make $200m bucks

    It would be a good win for Crawford, a great win for Pac. Just like Fury/Wlad. Fury and Crawford are getting guys still at the top of the game, but not at the top of their game. Big difference. Either way, still a fight I want to see.

    People are focusing on Pac's age and not the fact that he just beat an undefeated champion with a good resume.

    I favor Crawford but Pacquiao will be a tough challenge. 7-5 type decision.

    Bud is 32, that is peak career, not young. That is beside the point however.

    I am struggling to see how your examples concern the points that I made.

    It's time now to have the WW Unification Show Down. Spence vs Crawford or Pacquiao vs Crawford whatever it can take place after Corona Virus is gone. No more rumours please. Pacquiao does not have to worry about losing since he has got beaten before and he is 42 now but Spence and Crawford are still undefeated so they both does not want their 0 to go. Another possible big fight at 147 is Money Floyd Mayweather vs Spence. These big events are going to be made for people to celebrate after Covid 19 is gone. I hope.
