Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: I've Fought Better Opposition Than Crawford Has, He Hasn't Fought Best at 147!

[Jsmooth9876]

there is enough comp at 147 that Crawford doesn't have to beat a guy coming up from 140 with little defense. Because after he stops him, everyone will say, "he was too small". Taylor has no chance whatsoever at beating crawford. NONE!!!!

Yeah but Bud ain't getting those fights with the PBC guys so there is no competition for him expect maybe Taylor, Ramirez, Prograis and Virgil Ortiz.

A bum like Taylor talking to Crawford like this shows how much Arum disrespects Bud. Taylor couldn't shine Crawford's shoes. Time to find something better, Bud.

Are you for real, an undisputed champion is a bum? That woman who started the alternative fact nonsense must be jailed for life.

Funny how the Bud Man fan club is calling Taylor a bum and saying he shouldn't fight Crawford when Taylor would be, by a considerable margin, the best and most proven fighter Crawford has ever fought.

More proven than a former undefeated welterweight champion who beat Manny Pacquiao?

It's not a bad fight, and Crawford is so gifted.

What I don't understand is why Bud doesn't say yes, I want to fight the top contenders Ennis and Ortiz jr, but instead he seems content with lesser opposition.

Beceause it's easier to showcase whatever skills you have got against inferior contender and have people clapping for you, calling you #1 p4p. Crawford need to prove that he can beat other elite fighters at 147. Till date he's not eager to that. Protect the 0 is the mantra for most American boxers these days.

Nobody wants that work from Boots Ennis! Way too high-risk, low-reward! That includes Spence, Pacquiao, Porter, and Thurman!

He could've had Shawn Porter as his next fight! His promoter said No Thanks!

Terence Duckford needs to fight either Porter, Thurman, Mikey and Danny Garcia.

Terence Crawford to return October 23rd on ESPN
By Patrick L. Stumberg Jun 23, 2021, 3:15pm EDT

Terence Crawford may not yet have an opponent for his next ring outing, but he does have a date. Bob Arum tells Dan Rafael that “Bud” will return to action on October 23rd on ESPN. The fight will presumably be his last under his current Top Rank contract, which expires that month.

Crawford (37-0, 28 KO) hasn’t seen action since thrashing Kell Brook last November, and hasn’t fought more than twice in a calendar year since 2016. He was linked to a potential clash with Manny Pacquiao in Dubai earlier this year, but the matchup collapsed when the promised site fee failed to materialize, and “Pac-Man” has since signed to fight Errol Spence Jr.

Vergil Ortiz Jr. is presently his #1 contender, though I’d imagine that Ortiz’s handlers would prefer at least one more outing before throwing their charge into the deep end. There’s also been talk of Ortiz facing former Crwaford victim Egidijus Kavaliauskas.

What are you all expecting? Will Crawford’s contentious relationship with Top Rank end on a damp fart or will we finally get to see him face a top Welterweight?
