Bradley's still top 3 at the moment though imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meth Damon Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 One thing's for sure though, by dominating Bradley only a few months ago Pac proved he's not as past it as the Floyd fight suggested. He'd be a massive step up for Crawford. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Got Pacquiao winning that one if they both fought next. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meth Damon Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Same here, not a confident pick though, Pac has to be focused on the political stuff and Crawford looks very difficult to beat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meth Damon Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 I think it'd be quite close odds, they obviously rate Crawford quite highly considering the price he was against Postol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the danger of him getting old overnight of course but although Crawford has a great win against Postol and a pretty good one against Matthyse I don't think he has enough experience yet for Pacquiao. In fairness to Crawford he shouldn't be expected to take the fight just yet anyway. Edited August 4, 2016 by Pete Rockwell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to Crawford he shouldn't be expected to take the fight just yet anyway. Would be interested to hear why you don't think he should be expected to take the fight just yet given he's a title holder and many on here have criticised AJ for supposedly ducking certain fighters due to him being a title holder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 They're in different divisions. Fair enough. I never noticed that give Pacman has fought at that many weights tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Arum effectively loses one of his 2 stars in one fell swoop if he makes Pac - Crawford now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Pacquiao vs Vargas in November. I'm not sure how you go from boxing rings round Timothy Bradley to fighting Vargas but there you go. Pacquiao 120-107 imo. It'll do poorly on PPV as well. Plenty better options out there who have been ignored (Crawford seemed like a no brainer). I couldn't give a toss who Pacquiao fight these days he's a shadow of his former self and only getting worse with each passing day- what's the point? Fair doos a win over Bradley isn't to be sniffed at but he's not exciting to watch any more, he's not relevant to the future of the division so I don't care. He's just a cash cow and big name. Loved him back in the day but the charade between him and Mayweather for 5 years just put me off the pair of them. I was hoping they'd disappear and leave it to the young ones from now on. I wouldn't be buying a Mayweather BA Pacquiao PPV2 either- be like watching an old firm "legends" match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Top Rank are fucked at 147 just now with Pacquiao and Bradley's careers tailing off. Arum will be desperate to transition Crawford into their next big PPV star. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_A Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Arum better be willing to work with Haymon if he wants 147 opponents for Crawford, he'll be struggling for fights if Pacquiao and Bradley retire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 It's an interesting one, Haymon will be able to bend him over a bit there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meth Damon Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Fairly certain Crawford and Bradley wouldn't fight each other anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_A Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Aye now you say it i'm sure Bradley said he would never fight him. I hate that shit, I would happily fight any of my friends if i was getting paid millions, maybe i'm just a dick though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Anyone know what sort of times the Olympic boxing will be on our tellys? Looking forward to seeing 50/50 match up, the best fight he best and finding one true champion unlike in the professional game where we are served up total bollocks on a weekly basis.Shakur Stevenson for the US looked tremendous in the WSB and other fights on YouTube- hope he does well- should be a star in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
