You're a f*cking idiot. Pacquiao has never not had the balls to fight someone, and you would know that if you had been following boxing for more than 5 months.
He was offered khan, crawford, and thurman called him out and he decides to have a pointless 3rd fight with feather fisted bradley. He isn't trying to challenge himself anymore, he's the king of rematches. There are plenty of big name young guys in his division with belts and
he wants to either drag a guy one weight class down (Crawford) or pick the belt holder who lacks power (vargas). He wants no parts of thurman, porter, spence, etc.
I actually want to be proven wrong. I would love for him to fight those guys but you know he would lose and you know he won't fight them. That's why you got so irritated.
First of all, Pacquiao has fought prime Erik Morales, prime Marco Antonio Barrera, prime Juan Manuel Marquez, prime Cotto, Ricky Hatton, p4p #1 Floyd Mayweather Jr, prime Timothy Bradley, and he fought Oscar De La Hoya in a match-up that everybody thought was unwinnable at the time. You're saying that he lacks the courage to fight Amir Khan and Keith Thurman. If you don't know where Amir Khan and Keith Thurman rank in comparison to fighters like Floyd Mayweather, prime Barrera, prime Morales, prime Marquez, etc., then you truly have not the first clue about boxing. This would be comparable to you saying Sugar Ray Leonard never wanted to take on the toughest challenges, citing the fact that he never fought Roger Stafford, after a career in which he fought Hearns, Hagler, Duran, Norris, Camacho, Benitez, Kalule, etc.. And of course, Leonard rematched some of those fighters multiple times, just like Pacquiao rematched some of his greatest opponents multiple times.
Second, you basically said that Pacquiao is running scared of tough fighters like Terence Crawford, and would rather fight soft opponents like Terence Crawford. Don't make me explain why that's idiotic. I'll go ahead and bold it for you.
