Arum Pushing For Pacquiao-Crawford; Roach Concerned About Old Lion Vs. Young Lion Match Up...

I think Crawford V PAC is a solid fight TBH. PAC had issues with Horn due to his sheer physicality, chin and size. Whilst I think bud quite possibly wipes the floor with Horn, I think pacs speed and angles still are there enough to give Bud a few hard rounds. I also feel Pac probably took Horn lightly, something he wouldn't do for Bud. That's just my gut feeling though. Remains to be seen.

 

Thats not even true. You'll see when Bud takes care of Jeff Horn.

 

manny still has some speed. I am not sure.

 

Once Horn mugs Crawford this thread becomes redundant.

 

Crawford wins at this stage.

 

get that flag out from in front of your eyes
it ain't in front of mine

 

Yes it is but it is just a different flag. Be honest, IF Horn was not from Down Under you would not be able to pick him out of a lineup and you would not be impressed with his skills

 

Yes, but it won't happen

 

Freddie, Pac, and Bob all know the game.

 

I actually think Manny will want to fight Crawford....against the advice of Freddie and his family.

PAC probably believes he can beat Terry but I can only give Manny a punchers chance at this stage of his career.

It’s not impossible for PAC to pull off an upset but it would mean he would have to change up his style dramatically using more movement and being more defensive which is not in Mannys DNA.

For better or worse, PAC will take the fight to Crawford and I think he could get knocked out. I wouldn’t hold it against him if he did. At least he would have taken on a real challenge to end his career.

 

Aussie,Aussie,Aussie,oi,oi,oi Crawford's getting the Randall Bailey treatment.

 

Crawford would decisively beat everybody at 147 the only test being Spence.

 

Pacquiao has never really pursued any fight. The only time he ever really wanted somebody was right after Barrera beat Hamed all Pac said was "Boss, please boss, Barrera, want Barrera, give me boss". From a Pac documentary. Pacquiao despite being a big name fighter has almost zero input in who he fights, how much he gets paid, when or where. Roach and his promoters have done all that for him his entire career.

Pacquiao is the old school mode of a fighter when it comes to the business side of things.

 

From a business perspective it makes a world of sense. The problem is Pacquiao has already taken the whole "Legend loses to young fighter" ordeal with Jeff Horn. Which sort of negates some of the shine Crawford could have gotten from the Pac fight. The difference was Horn wasn't anywhere near as good Crawford is. If Pacquiao fights Crawford right now things are going to get extremely ugly in the ring for Pacquiao. It will get extremely embarrassing in all likelihood.

Also remember how salty Crawford was when Pacquiao didn't fight him? His tweets were like an 8 year old when mom says you can't eat the candy. There is no reason for Crawford to fight Pacquiao now. As it is right now Pacquiao doesn't even deserve to be ranked in the top 10 at WW. He holds no belt.

 

Pac needs to hang them up already.

Enough is enough!
