Comments Thread For: Roach Feels Pacquiao Should Face Horn - Not Loma or Crawford

[Bluebird]

If what you say is true and Horn didn't deserve the win, I can think of no better reason to justify a rematch to let Pacquiao prove it. Otherwise, he's a ducking coward.

And suggesting he should fight a super featherweight instead of fighting at his most common weight limit is a joke. He'd get NO respect for fighting anyone not at 147.

Keith "One Time A Year" Thurman's career is done. Too many injuries. He's the next Pirog.

Spence is too dangerous and you know it.

Crawford would put on a Mayweather performance - pointless for Manny to fight him.

Manny's fresh off a no-drug-testing dominant win over Lucas. So apparently he's not washed up. Ok, so let's see him prove the Horn loss was a fluke. THEN, win the rubber match. Then either face Broner or just retire.

His days of facing top fighters is gone.

Pac’s ability to jump into higher weight classes to fight and beat bigger opponents catapulted him into a boxing superstar and #1 pound for pound boxer in the world and one of the biggest cash cows in boxing, if Loma wants to boost his ppv ratings, he can do the same thing, he made Rigondeaux jump 2 weight classes to fight him, why can’t he do the same thing? Doesn’t he walk around a little more or less than140 lbs after rehydrating? So fighting Pac at a catch weight of 140 lbs is not hard for him at all. I wouldn’t advise Pac to fight Spence or Crawford but if he wants to do it, be my guest, it’s better to lose honorably than to lose by robbery (Horn fight). Pac wanted to fight Broner before the 3rd Bradley fight but Broner priced himself out, so I don’t think he’s too confident to fight Pac. Thurman has the real belt and Arum won’t be involved so it is his best option (win or lose) before he retires.

Why is it so hard for others to understand that it's 10x better for Pac to fight challengers that are worth it. You got that right bruh. If Pac wins over Loma and Thurman. His legendary status even goes higher, since there is nothing to gain against Horn. He won that already in the eyes of the majority of the world.

Some haters see the truth and they don’t deny it, they give credit when credit is due, they are the real boxing fans and I will always respect them but the majority of them let their hate for Pac cloud their judgment.

Funny, seems almost like the heartless bastard cares about Pac. Why else would he choose the least lucrative fight with the only fighter of the 3 Pac can probably still beat?

Look, just admit you're just as scared of Manny facing Horn again as he is. There's no shame in that.

Manny has no business fighting Loma. Just like Spence has no business fighting Mikey.

Funny how people criticized Golovkin over Brook and Canelo over Khan, yet support Manny doing the same damn thing.

Exactly, True boxing fans will say the right things.

As I've mentioned before. Pac should retire. He has nothing to prove, but if Pac says he still got 2-3 fights. Who am I to stop him from wanting to improve his legacy even further. So if he does continue. I want him to fight live dogs. Young dogs that if he defeats these dude will be an accomplishment in itself, because he beat these young lions in a young man's game.

So Loma, Thurman to me are good fights for Pacquiao. Crawford, based on his long reach and height will be hard for Pacquiao to reach through. Crawford is a tall nimble Welterweight, Pac is too small to get to him in this late stage of his career. It will be another cat and mouse kinda fight.

So Yeah, Loma, Thurman, Khan, Broner, Danny all are winnable fights. Definitely worth watching as Pac's farewell tour.

If both parties agreed to fight each other even if it’s not a catch weight type of fight, I don’t see any problem with that. I didn’t criticize Golovkin and Canelo, I admired Brook and Khan for their courage to jump to a higher weight class to fight those guys even if they didn’t win. As much as I would like to see Pac fight Horn again just to shut him up, with a couple of more meaningful fights left before he retires, Horn is not an option. He may not win against Spence and Crawford due to age, height and reach difference but they are 2 of the best welterweight boxers right now and they are not dirty fighters. I would rather see him fight Spence or Crawford than a dirty fighter like Horn.

it would be the same if the fight were at 147, less bad at 140 perfectly fine at 135, no?
