Comments Thread For: Crawford On Porter Fight: It Means Putting That Extra Stamp On Being Considered The Best

[Rodtang]

Sorry, Terry boy, duckers are never considered the best.

Which is why so many PBC fighters need to step up.

[Monty Fisto]

I have a simple back-of-the-envelope test for this. If no one can be sure you are the best in your division, you are not P4P the best of all divisions.

I am fully expecting Crawford to come up with some way out of this fight.....injury?...covid? He never wanted this fight and Porter made so much noise the WBO finally forced it, now bud is flipping the script and trying to make it like he forced the fight.....anyone who follows the game knows this is B.S. Arum and Bud have found big money in the past to pay no-hopers but for some reason can never line up a real contender. For years they blamed PBC and I thought it was kinda funny a PBC fighter finally forced the fight. I hope I am wrong and the fight happens....if it does look for Porter to show you why Bud has been avoiding top flight competition for years.

It's hard to bet against Crawford--he is a sharpshooter. Porter is tough & aggresive so it will be entertaining.

Why should they? I've never heard someone rant about how they are the best in their division without facing and beating anyone relevant in it.

Oh no wait Doo Doo Andrade does the same. I stand corrected. Canelo, Usyk, Spence, Loma, and Inoue are at the top of my list. This is how embarrassed Crawfish should be. Spence crashed his car and got ejected out of it, came back and beat a top 5 ww convincingly his first fight back. While Crawfish continues to make excuses.

Thank you!! Crawford only opponent that is still somewhat relevant these days is Gamboa. And that's sad because that was at 135. Beating Jose Benavidez and Jeff Horn doesn't make you p4p #1 in the world. Also we've seen Porter loses 3 times already and arguably lost to Ugas. So this will be a solid win for Crawford but it won't make him the best or better than Canelo which he claimed.

PORTER is a decent win, but doesn’t elevate Crawford. Porter has losses against Brook, Thurman, Spence. Porter is gate keeper to top 147 div.

All were close losses against top guys. Let’s not act like Porter is a bum when he’s only had close losses to elite fighters. Crawford supposedly isn’t elite so beating Porter would eliminate the “who has he fought?” excuse

[whollisboxing]

Kell Brooks leftovers. Spence has beaten Porter. If not for that, then Porter wouldn't be allowed near Crawford. Porters in last chance saloon. love his podcast.

You’re leaving out the context of Porter’s losses. And since when does losing majority (Brook) and split decisions (Spence) make you somebody’s leftovers?

Simply put, Porter has lost to Brook, and Crawford has beaten Brook. Not so hard to figure out.

The PBC never had the best WWs. You can’t exclude one of the best WWs and a pfp guy out of your sorry ass PBC tourney or whatever that was…and say that they’re fighting the best WWs; and in the same breath say that Bud hasn’t fought anyone at WW. You ignored Bud. You came up with sorry ass reasons to avoid him. He shouldn’t have signed with TR, and other BS excuses that you all ran with. He beat the rest of the guys in the division when Haymon didn’t want to do business with Arum. You guys have finally run out of excuses for those PBC turds. Porter will be no match for Bud. No match. Get ready Spence you coke sniffing false teeth can’t speak mofo, Bud is coming.

Think we see Porter get stopped for the first time in this one
