Morrison J Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Brilliant fight. Couldn't believe the amount of people giving Frampton no chance in the lead up. Top 10 P4P fighter now. Unbelievable achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM72 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 That's who I thought he'd fight. Either Crawford or Mayweather in the Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) http://www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-manny-pacquiao-jessie-vargas-crawford-vegas-dubai-20160803-snap-story.html Koncz said Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs) became the choice after he and Pacquiao decided they aren’t comfortable with the “style” of unbeaten two-belt junior-welterweight world champion Terence Crawford.Crawford (29-0) dominated Viktor Postol July 23 in a title-unification bout at MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Postol is trained by Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach.“I don’t like Crawford’s style. I don’t believe it’s a style that suits Manny,” Koncz said.Asked if that meant Crawford was too fast, or too defensive, Koncz said, “His style! Leave it as his boxing style.” "he might whup my ass" style? Edited August 4, 2016 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM72 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 10 minutes ago, StillUnknown said: Pacquiao will never fight Crawford don't fool yourself Yes he will. If you pay attention to both Pacquiao and Mayweather, the late year fights are almost always inferior fights to the spring fights. He'll fight someone big in April. If not Mayweather, it will be Crawford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 If he does, I will give him all the props in the world But at this point I'd be more willing to believe that he don't want that noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Crawford won't be any bigger of a name in April than he would be in November more importantly, his "style" that Pac's advisers seems to hate, isn't changing. Pac will probably end up fighting Broner or Berto in April Edited August 10, 2016 by StillUnknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac will probably end up fighting Broner or Berto in April He's definitely not fighting Berto. From what I've read, Broner alienated Pac's camp with his demands. Danny Garcia is probably an option, but I don't think too many is interested in that. If it's not Mayweather, I think it will be Crawford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even HBO told that man, "nah, we good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If there were no Ward/Kovalev fight later that month, Pacquiao/Vargas would be on HBO. If I had to make a guess, it will probably be on ESPN PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Ward & Kovalev is among the very best fights that can be made in boxing and I will be absolutely shocked if it clears 300k buys Pac doesn't get moved by a Ward/Kovalev fight alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Maybe a few years ago, but now? Pac isn't quite the same draw. There's no more intrigue about a potential Pac/May fight to keep the PPV numbers up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
