Crawford is a real G. He fights to knock you out. He can take a shot and he's good and he's hard to hit. That dude is serious. I love Pacquaio, but Pac needs to stay away. Pac, please retire. Why keep fighting? If it was a young Pacquaio, than you know, it is what it is, but right now, too dangerous. As far as moving up is concerned, you never know, but I have a feeling that Crawford can fighter bigger dudes as well. Anyway, he's one of the best in boxing.
Pacquaio needs to just retire and spend time with his family and heal and just take care of himself. There is no need for Pacquaio to keep fighting these young dudes. He already did that. We shouldn't demand anymore of him, just as we shouldn't demand any more of Mayweather. It is what it is. What happened already happened. A part of life is acceptance. We have to accept that these guys are no longer boxing. Let Crawford fight guys his age. Let him fight some of the other opponents he named. He called out Keith Thurman. That's crazy. Crawford is not scared, that's for sure.
Yeah Crawford is the truth not much left for him at 140 other than that African. Too bad he's with top rank who has no fighters for him at 147. They only have Bradley who is Crawfords good friend so that fight will never happen. Pac who's looking just to fight for money and easy fights and I don't blame him nothing left to prove and Jesse vargas who Crawford would make easy work of.
You must be thinking of 2010 Pacquiao. He will soon be 39 years old and NO one beats father time. This fight only happens if Arum makes it happen.
Indongo has no chance imo. He's very basic. His last fight he won it mostly because of his reach and stamina, great tools but not enough vs Crawford.
Befuddled? I'm sorry, when did Crawford lose? Oh, let me guess, he lost a few early rounds to an extremely fast fighter, but once Crawford figured him out, he took him out! Yeah, he was befuddled for 2 rounds! That's what a novice boxing fan such as yourself doesn't understand about boxing. Boxers will, from time to time, get into the ring with a guy that may be faster, stronger, taller, hits harder, awkward or all of the above. The gifted fighters learn to adjust to those differences. It may take a round or 2, maybe more, but once the proper adjustments are made, they usually take the fight over and dominate the rest of the fight. Crawford proved this in the Gamboa and Postal fights. You should really pay attention more while you're watching the fights. There are some really interesting dynamics going on in there.
Crawford needs to move up ASAP, he should fight a tuneup with Porter, then fight Thurman, Brook, then he could jump up and fight Golovkin, he was a middleweight tonight.....................who is at 154 not that El Pollo has moved up?
He's a very skilled boxer, but he's also a bit of a Kunt. No need for him to clown a guy who is clearly overmatched. Better to seek out a proper opponent and give us a real fight to watch.
I love Crawford as a fan. Brilliant boxer, but I keep thinking he's like a Lennox. He'll rise to the occasion against his best opponents and be champion for a long time but some guy you'd never expect that's getting toyed with will catch him relaxed and dropping his hands and he'll get Rahman'd in a heartbeat once or twice. Hope I'm wrong. I pick him over Pacquiao right now but will Arum try? Is it worth it to him to put it together?
Yeah Crawford is fantastic, has he really got any competition at 140? Not saying he should move up to 147 ASAP as im sure he will when he feels he has got 140 nailed down but when he does thats just another big name to add to an already quality deep division. Although i can see Brook moving up a weight very soon and Spence not far behind him there are still the Thurmans and Porters
