Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Steps Away From Rematch, Horn To Defend on 11/12

[Caught Square]

A lot of people are saying Horn v Crawford but I don't know if he'll want such a dangerous fight with the Manny rematch still there, I was thinking it would be a more routine title defence but major props if it is Crawford.

Smells like a setup. Rip Pac off so Horny gets the title.....create some drama so Pac has to step aside leaving an opening for Crawford to move up in weight for an instant title. Wonder how much Pac was paid on the side to participate in this farce?

Wouldn't it have made more sense for arum to have Crawford beat pac instead of horn beating pac? Crawford beating horn won't be a big deal but if he had beaten pac, it would've gone a long way towards making him a bigger star.

Horn vs Crawford

after TC puts a whooping on Horn.....

then Pacquiao vs. Crawford next year as Pacquiao's farewell fight

this makes a lot of sense.

And Pac indeed has senatorial duties and is getting older, he cant really train for that Horn rematch properly at this stage in his career.

i want to see TC put a whooping on this kid

the kid prolly believes in his own hype. horn seems like he's the type to do that. he really think he's on that level.

How long did you think it would take before clowns accuse Manny of ducking Horn. Laughable. Manny has always insisted on rematches whenever he has lost. He's not ducking this goofy bastard. My prediction is that if Manny doesn't fight Horn in the early part of 2018, he will take on a better opponent for a big money fight.

floyd fans: manny is afraid to fight someone that can punch, that's why he's avoiding crawford, spence, etc.

manny: i still want a rematch with marquez


it's just funny how they make up lies to make them feel better about how pac is afraid to face a puncher because he doesnt want to get knocked out again BUT he's still calling out for a rematch with the guy who knocked him out!!!! LOL!

Top Rank fighters have no say so in who they fight next. It's Arum's call. He has the final say so.

That's why every Top Rank fighter has the same redundant answer when asked who they would like to fight next "It doesn't matter to me, whoever my management puts in front of me"

Check google. Freddie Roach said it already that he does NOT want Pac fighting Crawford! Its not ducking its just protecting his fighter. I can respect the fact that Roach came out and admitted they want no parts of Crawford.

Top Rank will do everything to keep that title in house..
Horn vs (another Top Rank Fighter).

It really is delusional thinking from the 50-0 fans whose fighter refused to fight Manny in his prime and refused to give him a rematch. Manny asked for immediate rematches with Morales, Marquez, Bradley and Floyd, suddenly they think he's afraid of the dirty Australian who got a gift decision. Only in the minds of casuals.
