Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao-Crawford Likely To Happen at 140

[The plunger man]

****** ***? I don't like everything Arum does, but he isn't doing it alone. He doesn't sign the contracts or train the fighters. He has Zero input except to make the fights. I say bad things about him, but his connection to his God is his own business. It's about BOXING, Jesus didn't box, though I'd like to promote the Holy Ghost.

How do we know Jesus didn't box....he might have been a pugilists specialist ....he might have been the undisputed champion of Nazareth for all we know.....and arum with his greedy *** nature is the reason why I commented...he's always prepared to to get that last penny out of you and then sell your soul to the devil....not a good person

Whether its at 140, 144, or 147 Crawford will be too much for Pac, catchweight has no negative implications for him here.

I can't argue much with the other stuff you said. Can only agree to disagree.

This last part is silly doe. Crawford is clearly moving up in the world & Pac is clearly moving down in the world, but I don't believe its a foregone conclusion that Crawford is higher than Pac or Pac is lower than Crawford yet.

I guess I'm just not all that confident in a guy who's arguably most impressive W was a KO of a inactive 126lber @ 135lbs who actually caught him a couple times. I'm not sold on a stronger chin at higher weights. I'm not sold on Crawford's chin at all. He's got skills granted. And personally I'd much rather see him vs Postol next anyway.

Good fight..... not a limp affair like Mayweathet Berto. Crawford is a very live dog

Jesus is all about nonviolence, love, and peace..however Saul, who was later renamed Paul upon becoming an Adherent to Christ (went on to write half the new testament) speaks of how he "buffeted his body with blows" to condition his body so it could do what was required of him. This could mean boxing or some form of fighting.

Also throughout the the old testament there were many proud mighty ***ish warriors. Samson being one of them. David could also throw down in his younger years.

Well either way you slice it, whatever weight its at, it benefits Crawford since he is a lot bigger than Manny.

Crawford moving up in weight helped his chin as well, he got rocked by Gamboa at 135 but he was killing himself to make that weight, at 140 dierry jean hit him back to back with flush overhand rights and he didnt even wobble.

A catchweight of 144 would benefit Crawford here since he walks around at 170 just like 144 helped Algieri because he didnt have to cut much weight since his last fight was at 140, the 15o catchweight also helped Margarito, Roach wanted the fight at 147 but Arum made it at 150 because Margo was having trouble to make the weight, WBC got involved and gave Pac and Margo the chance to fight for a vacant belt.(money grab from WBC).

Whether its at 140, 144, or 147 Crawford will be too much for Pac, catchweight has no negative implications for him here.

Here we go again. Some ******s on here just don't know that emotions has to be taken out of picking fights. You in particular have been picking against Manny since the Tim Bradley fight even picking freaking Algeri to knock him out. SMH at your knowledge of boxing. Do us all a favor and leave your predictions out of your Manny posts, they are comical. Only a seasoned crafty vet (Marquez, Floyd etc) can beat Manny cleanly. These young guns still don't want it with Manny. If Gamboa can rock Crawford and Jean can hit him cleanly, I can only imagine how many times Manny is going to tag him. Crawford is good and I am very high on him, and you are one of those calling him overrated as well but a Manny Pacquaio, a past it version at that would still be too much for Crawford to handle.

good fight. as long as its not khan.

plus this works well for crawford, he gets huge exposure win or lose, hes the up and coming generation.

Its a lot like mayweater-canelo. If crawford wins, instant superstar. If he looses, then its to the best and a loss wont hurt his career much. Its a lot better fight for him than say a thurman level guy that if he looses to would set him back but a pac loss wont set him back.

IDK why people cant see it, yeah pac doesnt get the KO's he used to but 99% of these guys out there he can still easily outbox them to a decision using movement, speed, angles and combinations. Even bradley cant legitly outbox him over 12 though he can do pretty well. It takes someone highly skilled to be able to outbox him. The only guy I tabbed to beat him that didnt (after the DLH fight) was Clottey.

Pacquiao has to eat 5 meals to make 144? Really? And Pacquiao's most comfortable weight is 140? Hmm..why would be not have gone to 140 if that was his most comfortable weight? Why would Pacquiao need to eat 5 meals to make 144..if he was eating butterfingers and guzzling water after the Floyd weigh-in and he weighed in at 151 on fight night... smh..

BS

Arums greedy *** relatives owned the manuscript copy services back then as well as the boxing promotions. Jesus was promoted by One Eared Boxing owned by Peter, a fierce rival. So Arum's boys omitted all of Jesus's records from the books.

Is it that easy for Manny to make 140?

I seriously doubt it at this stage of his career.
