The American trainer who handled eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao when he won his first world title, the WBC flyweight crown with a spectacular 8th round knockout of Thai hero Chatchai Sasakul, has advised Pacquiao to avoid a fight with WBO light welterweight champion Terence Crawford who demolished Manny?s sparring partner Dierry Jean in ten rounds on Sunday, Manila Time.
Staheli told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that ?it?s a dangerous fight. Just stay away from him.? Besides he said, Crawford ?is not a huge name and Manny won?t make big money? in a fight with the undefeated Omaha native who has a record of 27-0 with 19 knockouts.
Staheli said Crawford ?is going to be tough for anybody? recalling that he was the ?Fighter of the Year? last year.
He said former sparring partner and one-time stable-mate Amir Khan ?would be the best fight but they are claiming negotiations never started.?
Staheli who is an astute analyst and a fine trainer believes that Argentina?s Lucas Matthysse who has also been prominently mentioned as a possible opponent ?is an easy fight for Manny. He?s got decent power but is not that good.?
Crawford dominated every round against Dierry Jean, a Canadian by way of Haiti who was one of Pacquiao?s sparring partners when he was preparing for the ?Fight of the Century? against Floyd Mayweather Jr last May 2.
Crawford dropped Dierry Jean three times in the fight before referee Tony Weeks called a halt to the contest at 2:30 of the 10th round when Crawford was battering Dierry Jean whose trainer Marc Ramsay had stepped onto the apron to want to stop the fight but apparently had a change of heart and stepped down, only postponing the inevitable.
