Comments Thread For: Bradley: Crawford Has Good Chance To Beat Pacquiao

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum recently announced that Tim Bradley and Terence Crawford were the favorites to face eight division beltholder Manny Pacquiao on April 9th, in what will likely be the Filipino star's final fight.

Bradley, who holds the WBO welterweight title, surprised many when he said that he would rather see his good friend Crawford (27-0, 19KOs) get a shot at Pacquiao (57-6-2, 38KOs) rather than face the Filipino icon in a trilogy bout. Crawford is the WBO's champion at 140-pounds.

Nobody cares about Crawford. Just another wasted Pac fight win lose or draw. I WILL take a dump on Blob Arscums grave within 3 months after he's buried. Bet that.

Yes I agree with Bradley, Crawford is a fast, skilled and precise puncher and probably the exact same weight .It's a fight Manny would have to be at his absolute best to win......great match up .

Pacquiao is not Gamboa or Dulorme. If Pac wants to beat Crawford, he beats him. He has to want it though.

[PivotandRoll]

Imagine Bradley losing 4 rounds to Gamboa....Can't? neither can I...Pacs hurts him bad early

If Manny fights a Berto type opponent, I'd be concerned about his desire to win. But fighting a Crawford or Bradley shows his head is still in the fight game. Desire won't be the problem. Can he still outhustle a guy he probably needs to outhustle to win to the biggest question mark against TC.

I like how Arum gives the impression that Manny is choosing the fighter, then Manny comes back later and says "I don't choose the fighter, I just fight whoever they put in front of me." We all knew that it wouldn't be Khan, Broner, Porter, Thurman, Garcia, or Brook, and it would come down to Bradley or Crawford. It will be Crawford, and it will be @ 144 for the WBO Catch Weight Platinum Belt!

Crawford has a good chance to beat Bradley as well.

So what?

Who will actually give him a shot?

Wait...I know...Crawford vs Canelo!

He would get Imam'd.

Crawford is not Rios nor Algeri. Pac will have to be at his absolute best to beat Crawford or else he is going to take a beating.
