Pacquiao vs Vargas

[Ron Swanson]

I called this on the Crawford thread long ago. Manny built his name on good match ups. Why would he suddenly start taking challenging stylistic fights?

Youre saying JMM was a hard stylistic match up for Manny Neither were Barrera, Morales or Cotto Bradley and Hatton were stylistic push overs? Don't think I could disagree more.

Which moves with any quickness and looks to counter a lunging fighter? It's fine if you disagree, you're simply wrong. It happens with everyone.

Those are great fighters you list. None do what Crawford does. They might ALL be better than Crawford. But it doesn't change the facts.

Koncz said straight up when asked why they didn't choose Crawford. No hemming, no hawing "the style". The facts, the direct quotes support me. And looking at these is why I could read articles about how Manny was going to fight Crawford and say it wasn't going to happen. I didn't need to wait until things happened because history showed me what would happen.
