    It might not have been Arum's call. Maybe Manny had the real final say on his "last fight". I'm sure he wanted Crawford to get that shot.

    Pardon me I had to laugh at that

    naw Manny aint too bright he fight whoever Arum says... the fact they had a list of potential opponents and it took so long tells me Arum had to convince Manny. How the ? u dont fight Khan in the uk IN A HUGE PPV winnable fight? and instead choose Bradley? just ?

    I was with you till the bolded....

    Timing beats speed....Khan was faster than Garcia and Prescott and Pete ... When he punches he pulls straight back getting hit or he bumrushes to try and hold.

    Only I disagree is the Ward ? as far as him being mistreated

    From the outside, Ward ain't got his business ? straight

    Who you gon blame for the layoff and then coming back against a fighter so unrecognizable, HBO wouldn't fit the bill

    And then his fights ain't entertaining enough to pay just to have him on

    Nothing against Conor McGregor, (and yes 2 different sports), but when he follows the footsteps of say Floyd in terms of giving you full view of his winnings and wealth, the people say he is so damn good, so damn cool "What a guy!!"... Floyd paved the way for all that... and they still ? on him, then, throughout his reign, and now.

    also Floyd spoke on him not promoting and giving his black fighters the big fights.... how u dont make Riggy or Walters vs Loma or Crawford v Postol or vs Manny? With Manny on his way out this is the way to build u ur next star and u have a p4 guy right there but u dont do it.... but let a Rican or Mexican be that good.... Love how he spoke on how Ward is being treated....

    same reason floyd didnt fight all but 1 black fighter during his entire showtime deal.
    im sure the numerous black welters would have loved to become millionaires at the time.

    He basically all but made the Crawford vs Manny fight the week of the Jean fight. And the HBO crew hyped up the fight the whole broadcast.

    Then he came out and said it was Manny's decision and that he would announce the decision on TruTv. Then that passed and Manny finally just now came out and made his choice.

    And since the Khan fight is so huge why didn't Floyd go ahead and fight him? No one gives a ? about fighting Khan is what it seems like to me. And they barely could come together and make Mayweather vs Pacquiao so the Khan fight was probably never gonna happen.
