Comments Thread For: Crawford On Porter Fight: Excited I Get One Of Those Guys From PBC To Silence My Doubters

[SunDiego-]

If Crawford takes an L he might as well go away like that 3G guy and go fight in some other country

[Combat Talk Radio]

Crawford has a running streak in him when the going gets tough, if you'd recall.
You've seen him in the Postol fight. Even Beltran made him run in some of the rounds.
John Molina with his inimitable come-forward style made him clinch like a vise grip.

So I wouldn't be surprised if he'll, or forced to, employ such survival tactics in this fight.

Porter won't allow it. He's better than expected at closing distance and once Crawford eats a headbutt, Crawford will lose his temper and try to go to war...which will cause a repeat of him getting wobbled and dropped, just like Gamboa and Kavaliauskas.

I'm telling people right now, Porter's style is going to set Crawford off and he ALWAYS makes mistakes after he gets hurt by anything. Porter is more durable than the others that hurt him.

The notion that Terence Crawford actually has doubters is a complete fiction. Insignificant individuals use forums and comment sections on social media and the internet in general to try to make themselves feel significant. Whether y’all believe what you put out there or not it makes you feel important to be able to affect the narrative. And the actual media eats it up because affecting the narrative is what gives them power and keeps all of y’all coming back for more. The truth doesn’t sell basically. So keep on internet pretending and social media narrative bending. But the proof is in the pudding and we all know that Terence Crawford is the absolute best right now. He’s the man to beat and any conversation about who is the best in boxing right now is centered around him. Hate it or love it. Openly accept it or try to spin it. But no one truly doubts it.

Is this is a serious comment? If this is serious this is one of the dumbest I've read in awhile. You'd have to be a complete idiot to believe there's no doubt or doubters. He hasn't beat a significant 147 lb fighter since he moved up. He fought someone who already had their face broken, someone who got shot in the leg, and some other guy who had a great nickname in mean machine but no one ever heard of. Only an idiot would refuse to acknowledge doubt.

To think Postol is his best win isn't saying much. When he unified that division He beat Postol, ( ok not to bad) he beat Felix Diaz for the vacant WBO title ( yeah Felix Diaz) and he beat Indogo for the rest, ( Indogo got KTFO in two rounds twice right after the Crawford fight, not 2 years after, right after and then retired, what does that say, I'll tell you, paper champion's come to mind)

I prefer to give credit where credit is due. A lot of his critics were saying he was scared of Postol and would duck him. He fought him and beat him easily. I will stay consistent and not defang Postol now. It was a very good win.

With that said, after Postol, Crawford's resume looks developmental. Like opponents you would give a very good up and coming early 20s boxer. From Molina to Brook, that's something you would expect from Vergil Ortiz Jr. A fighter who is in the developing stages of his career. Problem is Crawford already did that from 2013 (Prescott) to 2016 ending with Postol. Prescott, Klimov (I thought this was a good fight, good learning experience due to Klimov's style), Burns, Gamboa, Beltran, Dulorme, Jean, Lundy, Postol. These were decent to good fights for him at the time, as he was developing. These fights happened in a span of 3 years, 26 to 29. Which is fine. Crawford was not a great boxer in the amateurs, and he was not showing signs of greatness in the beginning of his pro career. He looked average. Looked average vs Prescott, Klimov, and Burns. He just did not look great. He just looked better than them, but not greater than them. So I get the development phase for him. He started looking better from Gamboa to Postol. But then after that, his opponent level reverted to Prescott, Klimov and Burns level. He became known/praised and took 3 steps back. I don't even see Danny Garcia level fighters on his resume. DSG is better than anyone on his resume. And DSG is not even known as a good welterweight. He is seen as a decent bottom of the top 10 WW. But Crawford is #2 somehow with zero wins over any good welters.

I guess it takes a genius with an expansive vocabulary to use the words dumbest, idiot, dumb and idiot again in a paragraph. Or maybe its just typical verbiage for an insignificant internet insect.

Porter will be the best opponent Crawford has faced in his entire career. And he's doing it at age 34.

It is what it is. No matter how emotional you get about it.

That's how you dip a legitimate and logical conversation. And thats also why youre destitute poor

These aren’t fans. These are people with too much energy invested in the internet who are bored, lonely and politically polarized. Most of the things people say about Crawford have nothing to do with the actual sport of boxing or Crawford himself and everything to do with promotional outfits and PBC vs. Bob Arum. And none of it is genuine. All of y’all just want to have a voice in the media narrative of dishonesty and distortion.

We'll probably just need to agree to disagree on some of this I think.

I agree with a lot of what you say about some people's motives but I also think that some of the criticism of Crawford is justified.

[Raggamuffin]

If money was the issue why didn't Crawford's team jump on the Yordenis Ugas fight?

The fact is they just got fat and comfortable taking low risk fights under the Top Rank Protection Program. Just accept it.





The WBO calling for the mando is forcing Crawford to finally face a top welterweight.

That's what I wanted so as long as the fight goes through I already won. It's a beautiful thing.

The problem we all have with your lunacy is who you think is a top WW.

Hes a PBC watching mind controlled *****. He needs to be entered into boxing rehab.

You don't think Yordenis Ugas is a top welterweight? He wanted all that smoke with Crawford. And Haymon would have let him go over to fight on ESPN for a relatively small purse.
