Comments Thread For: Arum On Crawford-Porter: I'm Optimistic We Can Get Deal Done With PBC For PPV Fight

[greeneye99]

Great fight, Porter would be the best opponent Crawford has ever fought in his entire career. If it leads to Spence-Crawford in 2022 assuming they both win, I'm all for it.

I do find it funny how Crawford is crying for 50/50 against Spence when he only can get barely above 50 against Porter lmao.

This Post is sooo ******
You must be a Casual Fan...
And
You don't understand how Mandatory Fights are done.

I really rather have seen Crawford-Taylor, but he’s Arums latest poster child. Arum would only arrange Crawford vs Josh Taylor when Crawford’s on his way out on the losing end.

I’m saying you can’t take away half of someone’s resume and then complain it doesn’t look good anymore.

If I take Bill Gates’ experience at Microsoft off his resume, he’s just a college drop out.

It’s not hard to understand my point.

Let me try a different approach. Maybe now you’ll get it.

No where in my post do I say Crawford’s entire resume is crap.
I was as clear and specific to address his three year reign at Welter Weight.
Crawford has fought Kavaliuskas, Benavidez, Khan and Brook since he won the belt from Horn, who was garbage anyway but that’s not Crawford’s fault.

Can you compare those 4 fighters to the guys Foreman when he was the king at HW?

Crawford has repeatedly stated that he’s done everything at WW and he can retire and be at peace with it. That is hogwash and you know it.

I hear you but for let's entertain this conversation by flipping this argument on its head:
How good is Crawford if he is the only one to clearly beat Porter in a clear and decisive 8-4 type of fight?

It would be a quality win for Crawford. But he wouldn't be the first to inflict a clear win over Porter. Brook beat him by 9 rounds on my card. He shut Porter down in a way where he wasn't even close to being effective. In fact, you can count on two hands to amount of actual point scoring worthy punches he landed. The rest where basically desperate rubbing on the inside in a poor attempt to convince the judges otherwise.

Seems Porter got all the tools to make this fight happen.
If it doesn't happen, you know exactly who to blame.

Hmm, I don't remember a UD in that fight.

I know. The fight WAS in the US. You can win all 12 rounds over there and still get the loss by their judges. Just look at the Abril/Rios fight. Hell, you can actually knock them out over there and still only get a draw. Literally. Look no further than Martinez/Cintron. Martinez won the fight on points clearly too. Still didn't get him the win. Brook clearly beat Porter. It wasn't even competitive.

[ShaneMosleySr]

His score actually matches one judge completely, 117-111, and is only one round wider than the second judge, 116-112.

Are you really going to insult someone for having the same scorecard as two of the judges?

Of course because you’re a pbc shill. I’m sure you scored the fight even.

Hmm, I don't remember a UD in that fight.

This would finally be a real opponent for Crawford. I hope this gets signed.

[sargo]

If last Top Rank fight for Crawford he better knock Porter out.
