Comments Thread For: Crawford Takes a Swipe at Spence in The Aftermath of Pacquiao's Defeat

[whollisboxing]

Everyone at welterweight is fighting each other except for Crawford who seems to have little care as he’s paid decently to fight low caliber opponents

I like Bud, however I must admit that he seem content with where he is. I don’t think he’s afraid of anyone; I just think he’s indifferent about who he fights because he already “made it out the hood” so to speak. All he ever wanted was a better life for himself and his family and it seems like he’s achieved that.

Wasn't really a Swipe it was more like "Damn That Could've Been One Of Us Doing That To Pacman" I know some people hate Bud but come on

The Positive in all this is that Bud is at least once again talking about this fight after months of saying "That Ship Has Sailed" "I'm No Longer Interested In That Fight" and "I Don't Need That Fight"

With that being said, we don't even know if Spence comes back at this point, it all depends on how the eye Heals obviously so all we can do is wait on Spence. However, with or without Spence the show must go on and the Division still have plenty of great fights to make while Spence is out. Hopefully Crawford vs Porter becomes official here soon

I don’t think that was a swipe.

I don’t think that was a swipe.

Agreed. With Manny exiting left of stage and Spence now possibly damaged goods, it leaves Crawford in a bit of an odd spot. Spence does need Crawford now, but Crawford needs a fit Spence and that may not be on the cards. Suddenly, Vergil Ortiz and Jaron Ennis look more important for the division and they are the future stars, not quite there yet. With Spence out of action, Crawford should be the man without any doubt, but he has yet to have anything resembling a defining fight at WW.

You can make a case for Crawford and Spence ducking EACH OTHER, but when did Bud ever duck Ugas or Pac? Crawford's dream fight was with Manny and Ugas would be one of the easiest nights out for him.

No one said anything about ducking. Crawford just won’t fight them. He’ll fight someone that no one cares about and he won’t be bothered because he’s being paid well

Its not taking a swipe at Errol its stating the obvious, he is saying between the words both himself and Spence missed out on beating Manny, they both know they would have destroyed Manny last night.

Yes, doesn't read like any kind of "swipe" at all.

Spence knows he missed out on a big payday but what could he do, he failed the prefight medical!

[HandsofIron]

Crawford vs Spence in Dec, just do it! No more beotching from either side!

Ugas can fight someone like Thurman, Porter or Garcia.

If Spence is back to 100% he will steam roll bud he’s too physical a fighter and bud isn’t as amazing as he’s made out to be he there to be hit Spence only loses if he’s lost a step. Ugas boots and ortiz I think would beat bud rn

[Hands of Stone]

Listen to this clown, two sorry clowns if you include Spence. They chasing a 42 yr old instead of trying to fight each other. Glad neither is getting that Pac payday. Happy for Ugas. Am sure he and his family hit the jackpot with that money. Let's see if Crawford for once in his life can fight two (Porter and Spence) back to back good opponents. A win over Spence will do much good for his resume unless Spence is damaged goods at this point.

Crawford won’t fight ugas, pacquaio or Spence so not much point in talking about them. His welterweight resume has been very flat.
It’s a shame because he’s got big talent, but each year his career just looks more tiresome

Ugas beats PacMan, and what does he do and say ???, He said and I quote 'he wants to unify with Errol Spence jr'. His punk ass didn't even mention the other champion T Bud Crawford, so that's Ugas for you there. Manny wants X amount to fight per fight and that's what he deserves to earn being all these years in the game, but to double your price to fight Crawford ????, That's a bit strong wouldn't you agree ?. And Spence has gone about successful distorting his career nicely, he's been DUCKING Crawford for 2/3 years now MINIMUM. Spence is a straight up B#@*" and he needs to let the belts go DONT hold them HOSTAGE coz he ain't coming back any TIME SOON
