Manny Pacquiao Is Dangerous For Terence Crawford Says Tim Bradley

By Chris Williams: Tim Bradley says that Manny Pacquiao is a “dangerous” fight for Terence Crawford because he’s got the talent to take advantage of all his flaws.

The former two-division world champion Bradley reveals that he’s sparred over 100 rounds with WBO welterweight champion Crawford (37-0, 28 KOs). He saw holes in his game that a fighter like Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) would take full advantage of.

This is contrary to what other think that Pacquiao will be in danger in this fight.

Manny Pacquiao is 30+ years old when he fought Bradley and he is 41 now. I think he is trying to hype or just one of the people who wants to see Pacman being punished before retirement  .

There is no more left to prove for Manny, being back in the ring is enough for his fans to see him fight for the last time.

Fight what is best for him not fight the best at this moment of his career.

I agree with Tim Bradley, I guess Manny cannot be underestimated as his last fight was impressive, IMO, Thurman and Crawford is almost of the same level in boxing, and I guess Manny could give Crawford a real challenge. What we have is just our personal opinion and speculation, but let's see if who will win in this fight, if we believe Crawford will win easily, then let's put a bet on him.

At the end of the day, only one side is correct and we never know which side is until the fight is over.

100+ rounds sparring Crawford? I guess he is not yet the champion then, but upcoming fighter that time. Maybe Crawford has improved a lot in years as we all saw that he became a world champion.

So I would take everything with a grain of salt on what Bradley is saying, he is more of a boxing analyst right now, so it's his job to hype Crawford or Pacquiao.

Manny has been tested by young fighters, although Crawford might be a different fighter, I think this will be a close fight and maybe Manny can still pull the trigger and surprises Crawford with a flash knock down/out.

Bradley is an honest critic, I guess Terrence camp should take the training seriously as though Manny is older than him, but his experience in sports is his main weapon, so Terrence here can't be contented with what he have showed in the past, train harder as he will be facing a legendary.

Terrence is in the number 3 in pound for pound ranking in https://www.ringtv.com/ratings/, this means he is good and Manny is fighting on one of the biggest fight of his career, but I don't doubt his chance to win as he has proved us wrong many times.

These two (Terence Crawford and Manny Pacquiao) are some of the best boxers in the world right now and we should be careful not to underestimate one of them. During the fight between Thurman and Pacquiao, at least during the initial stages the odds were heavily biased in favor of Thurman and no one really gave Pacquiao a real chance (that changed as the match day closed in). And in the end many of the gambling sites suffered huge losses when Pacquiao won.

Don't be too serious about exhibition fight, because this is limited to providing entertainment and there is no fighting over the title here.
So there really can't be any arrangement between them, they just want to entertain their supporters in a pandemic situation like now.
Then regarding the Pacquiao vs Crawford fight, there has indeed been no official announcement that it will happen, but like you said a lot of
the media reported the fight would be on June 5th, There is a possibility that the determination of this fight will not be made public.
Hopefully this battle can be carried out and there will be no postponement. Anyone will definitely enjoy official fights more than exhibition,
because official fights are usually the two boxers put out their best. So it's more exciting to watch.

As a fan we just have to enjoy it, but as a gambler we cannot be serious with it because all we want is just to win and that's our job to analyze which is the better fighter and put our bet on that figher. It's an exhibition fight, so it's quite hard to analyze as they will not be as aggressive as they were when they are still professional, so their previous fights could not be so significant here as the basis to determine the outcome of the fight.

This is the reason I rarely bet on exhibition matches, because like you said boxers won't fight all out. So sometimes it is more difficult to predict
the outcome of exhibition fights, indeed exhibition fights are better used as entertainment. Or it could be an exhibition fight just to see a fight that is
not possible to be held in a professional boxing competition.

Don't be too serious about exhibition fight, because this is limited to providing entertainment and there is no fighting over the title here.
So there really can't be any arrangement between them, they just want to entertain their supporters in a pandemic situation like now.

Lol it does not totally for entertaining their Fans but this is because of the trending in which since last year there are couple of Popular but Old boxer that comes to ring for this so called Exhibition game but the truth is they already has no career and just taking the advantage of people is bored because of pandemic so they will earn popularity again at the same time with Big amount of Money.

I'm not sure if this will come to reality , Its been many months now passed but there is no even a sign of them going in a fight.

Maybe what you say is true, most of the exhibition fights that are held now are due to trending or indeed to make a lot of money. Whatever the reason,
we, as fans, were really entertained by the exhibition's battles. Because it's so bored just staying at home because the pandemic hasn't ended yet,
so if we can watch the exhibition fight at least it can provide entertainment. Although the battle was not certain to happen, because it was true that
there had been no news again regarding the fight. But I still believe and hope that the fight will come true.

Manny should stay retired, why do boxers always get so tempted to return to fight after retiring? Manny has more than enough money, he should pursue other interests.

[pilosopotasyo]

Manny should stay retired, why do boxers always get so tempted to return to fight after retiring? Manny has more than enough money, he should pursue other interests.

The simple answer is the denial stage, unless a boxer is beaten badly, they will still go on thinking that they still have it and the body can still take it, in a boxer the first one to give up is the body, the mind is always willing but the body cannot keep up, if the body cannot keep up any more than that's the time that the mind will think of giving up, in the case of Pacquiao mind and body are still great.

I really don't understand why people are very concern of Manny and they want him to retire? Have you seen his last fight, he was the winner, and he almost dominate the fight against a champion and a young fighter, so Manny will not retire, he will continue to dominate and might even beat Crawford.

If you are a follower of Manny Pacquiao you'll know that Manny is not fighting for money alone he si fighting because he still has it, and his latest fight against Thurman we clearly see that he still has it and can still keep up with young legs, he will only stop if he is beaten or outboxed or he becomes a vice president of his country, I also want him to stop but only Manny can decide his future in boxing.

I don't want him to stop if he can still fight, winning in politics, that's another story as being vice president has a high responsbility.  I hope he will not win so he will just put his passion in boxing, maybe after retiring in boxing, he will focus with his promotion business and trainer more Filipino boxers to become a champion.

But will it be a big deal for Terence Crawford's camp?

Are they going to take his opinion seriously? if they're wanting to feel safe, they should take his opinion seriously. But if they disregard it, then they have to see it themselves what Tim has said.

Bradley is an honest critic, I guess Terrence camp should take the training seriously as though Manny is older than him, but his experience in sports is his main weapon, so Terrence here can't be contented with what he have showed in the past, train harder as he will be facing a legendary.

Yeah, that's what's good with Manny, he has surprised us when the world has doubted and thought of his past fights that he's not going to win.

But instead has given us a knockout to his opponent.

Manny should stay retired, why do boxers always get so tempted to return to fight after retiring? Manny has more than enough money, he should pursue other interests.

It's still about the money and he'll use it to give aid to many people that has been affected by the pandemic. That's what he said but who knows that there's inner reason for it.

As a citizen of the country he belongs to, I sincerely respect manny for being a great human and a great person to represent the country in boxing, but being a political person that has duties. Nah I won't accept it. Please don't even consider him to be part of the executives as his decision is influenced by religion which is needed to be separated in politics.

People who are in the Philippines and is literate on politics knows Manny is not capable of running a country, we are proud of him as a boxer but to lead a country like the President or even the VP, I think that won't happen and he would not win since voters have already matured after our current president won last election.

I'll be excited him winning in a match, not on a political match.

Manny should stay retired, why do boxers always get so tempted to return to fight after retiring? Manny has more than enough money, he should pursue other interests.

Manny Pacquiao is not retired from professional boxing and he already have other interest in politics and we should not be surprised if he becomes the president of Philippines. I think he is spending too much money to charity and for him to sustain he needs to fight again, if not he will be happily retired by now as he is a senator and he is shuffling politics and boxing until the time he quits entirely and he only have a few fights left in him as age is a huge factor.

Exactly, he hasn't really go on full retirement, he just put his priority right now and that is being a respected Senator in the Philippines. But if there is a good offer for him, he will continue to fight as long as he can.

Yes, it could be that he needed money to help the poor in his country, but I think he has some good businesses and investment as well that he can sustain Pacquiao's family lifestyle for good.

He already have everything money, fame and position in politics but he still not considering to retire.

I think this is for the sake of entertainment and yes the huge money that he can earn though his fight is a big help for his advocacy and charity to extend a helping hand to others.

He is very generous unlike other politician (though not all) who only rely to government's budget and not helping through their own pocket.

His term as a senator has been without surprises so far. He is quite inexperienced in politics and I don't see him running for the post of the president at least for the next 10 years. First he needs to get enough experience before he tries his luck at this level. And one more thing. The current president of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte is insanely popular, and I heard that he is having approval ratings of over 90%. At this point, there is no opening for Manny Pacquiao.

Yes.

He's not retired yet and that's why he's looking for a fight against Terence Crawford or whom will be suggested by his promoter to have a match with.

Whether he spends too much money on charity, he's still wealthy as he is and the reason why he's going to fight, he has promised to help them and proceeds of the match will to the charity.

And if he retires and having without a match, he's still going to retire happily because he got everything and aims for a higher post as an official. That's why he said that he should retire.

[Sithara007]

The latest news is that Pacquiao wants his farewell match to be at Las Vegas, which is deemed as the boxing capital of the world. However Brian McIntyre (trainer to Terence Crawford) has stated that the Pacuiao vs Crawford match can only be scheduled in the middle east. Since Pacquiao is aiming to run for the Philippines presidential elections in 2022, he may not have enough time for a match at Las Vegas, if he takes up Crawford's offer.

He needs the money to help more people as the world knows what's happening in his country.

Taking this fight for the sake of those families that are really suffering from this pandemic, Many Filipino people can attest to that statement
Pacquiao is really generous and he's using his own money to help the people around, with this fight the money will mostly go to the charities since he don't need any personally.

This is really a dilemma for Pacquiao, Pacquiao made a huge name in Las Vegas when he beat Ledwaba and he wants his last fight where it all started, it's legacy and money for Pacquiao, Crawford should be the one to give and understand what Pacquiao wants, and besides this is a legacy-defining fight for him it's his big chance, many fighters are asking for Pacquiao and Pacquiao choose him.

Crawford should be gentleman enough to give in and fight him in Las Vegas, even if the finances are not good fighting him in Las Vegas

I think at any country they can fight as its still about the money, and no guarantee that Manny will retire after this fight, and honestly, that rumo that Manny is running for 2022 president is baseless.
