    Wilder's quiet, petty: NSB trashes him. Crawford's quiet, petty: "Spence is DUCKING HIM!". Legit

    I'm struggling on this one, guys.

    Crawford has now been verbally eviscerated and disrespected by
    • 126 lb Mr. Gary Russell Jr. (champion)
    • 140 lb Josh Taylor (champion)
    • 140 lb Regis Prograis (former champion)
    • 147 lb - but should be 140 lb - Mikey Garcia (former champion)
    • 147 lb Vergil Ortiz (champion)
    • 147 lb Keef Thurman (former champion)
    • 147 lb Errol Spence (champion)
    • 147 lb Blair Cobbs
    • 154 lb Jermell Charlo (champion)
    • 220 lb Deontay Wilder
    GOTdamn, look at all that smoke (except Wilder, of course)

    Of that list the only one he actively expressed ANY interest in actually fighting...was Regis Prograis. And only at 147 despite Crawford admitting he could make 140 (which makes that a more even fight). That was 2 years ago.

    Outside of occasional whiny mentions about Spence, Crawford has been dead silent. BoMac recently came out salty about Spence using his top welterweight wins to secure a fight with Manny, Arum throwing names out as usual, but other than that, Crawford has silent and - more importantly - inactive. Despite significant amounts of smoke and disrespect floating around this guy.

    I want to know why it is that you are not criticizing Crawford for being quiet, yet all I see are people criticizing Wilder for being quiet. Wilder took an L. He's quiet because he knows if Fury is able to set him off with his antics, it's a huge risk. Crawford, on the other hand, is avoiding risk. Completely. He has no reason to be quiet, and you guys should be on his ass for not giving you at least some sense he's aware of his situation.

    Look at the names I put up there. Besides Wilder, each and every one of those should be easily doable fights and each and every one of those would be a signature name on Crawford's resume. Yes, even Mr. Gary Russell Jr., sold as "only ever lost close to a P4P fighter in Lomachenko".

    Why, NSB?

    Nobody gives a **** about Crawford. He waited until he was after 30 to seek a big fight lol same as Wilder really but Wilder was openly and obviously ducking the biggest names in his division for years and acting like the top dog, whilst having the skills of a railway track layer.

    Crawford is more reserved and WAY WAY more skilled,so any **** talking he did was backed up by his brilliant skills whereas Wilder is just a bum with a right hand.

      Wilder is part of pbc, Crawford isn’t. Really that simple.

        Aren't all skills visibly "brilliant" when you're fighting the C-level?

        Case-in-point: Berlanga, Boots Ennis, Blair Cobbs, etc.

          Good point I guess. Let me review Crawford's resume and I'll get back to you

            Make sure you take into account:

            - Whether said fighter was injured/crippled/etc
            - Whether said fighter had ever previously been brutally knocked out or bone-level damaged
            - Whether said fighter was old beyond comprehension

              You think people are upset with Wilder for being quiet?

              LOL.

              He showed up to a press conference and made a statement.

              He didn’t explain he wouldn’t be taking questions.

              He put headphones on and stared at reporters as they asked him questions and wondered what was happening.

              Thats insane.

              If Terence Crawford shows up to a presser and does something insane, everyone will hold him accountable.

                You're entirely correct Crawford has only fought 3 B level fighters- Postol Brook and Gamboa. Gamboa was an A fighter at his weight class but was a tiny man I there vs Terrence (and rocked Crawford hard) and Brook had his face broken in back to back fights vs GGG and Spence. Brook was borderline A level fighter at welter to be fair but the GGG fight was a terrible mistake. I wonder how Brook would have performed vs top welters like Crawford and spence if he never took the GGG fight but he was B level vs Crawford due to the beating he took- the quality was beaten out of him.

                Crawford deserves more **** than he gets for sure. He's a big waste of talent.

                But man, you also need to ask yourself why all those fighters you mention never blast wilder for his pathetic resume lol its because they are "on code" and supporting the PBC fighters only. They wouldn't insult Crawford if he was with PBC, they would support him as one of their own.

                  Jermell just got done attacking Wilder.

                  Other than that they're not going to speak out on a heavyweight, nor should they.

                    It wasn't about his resume though it was about his race baiting.

                    He said Fury whipping Wilder had nothing to do with race, it was just because he got beaten by the better man. Which is true.

                    Too much tribalism in boxing, and in life. Very few people can say it like it truly is, for fear of getting attacked by their own community, which is what happened with Charlo after he spoke the truth.
