Comments Thread For: Crawford: A Dominating Win Over Porter Will Boost Status As Pound-For-Pound No. 1

[LAchargers373]

I don't know who you are, but you have no logic whatsoever. I'll tell you what , put Pac's record alongside Mayweather's. Then check off how many " prime vs prime " fights each of them had . All opponents. Mayweather can't even carry Pac's jockstrap. Nevermind the fact welterweight wasn't even Pac's best weight class. I mean this guy PAC fought everyone...in their prime. Barrera 2x, Morales, 3 times, Marquez 3 times. The list is endless. Hatton, Clottey, DelaHoya , Margarito, Cotto( long before Mayweather fought him) . Yes, sometimes there will be losses when you test your greatness against the best of the best. Ali lost to Frazier, both in their prime , Leonard lost to Duran in their primes. The list is long and heavy on great champions that lost in their primes. Why? Because they took risks. Floyd was the biggest fraud of all time in boxing. Always was and still is. Floyd's best fight was long before he was " Money " Mayweather. His best fight was against Diego Corrales at 130lbs as " Pretty Boy " Floyd Mayweather. And even at that, Corrales wasn't a legend of any sort but a damn good fighter. That was Floyd's biggest win . After that, he was a fraud. All his fights were set up so he would win. No risk of losing. His management team are genius . His management team should be going to the Hall of Fame before Floyd.

Ali lost to frazier after 2 years on house arrest and as much as I hate to say floyd will go down above pacquaio on all time lists. He would’ve handle barrera and morales easily and he beat Marquez easily. The Marquez KO of pac was BS cause was juiced but I feel like he did that cause he got robbed in the 3 rd fight. Also mayweather beat de la hoya and hatton before manny did. Corrales was a helluva fighter hand based off the morales and Marquez fights he could’ve gave pac problems. Floyd ducked margarito outright turned down 8M from top rank and fought gatti instead. A much easier fight. That said floyd also didn’t wanna do business with arum for a very long time. One could also argue he ducked cotto when he “retired”. Also clottey was a bum dont include him in this lol. Your post doesn’t relate to the facts.

Crawford and how highly he thinks of himself is funny as hell.

“Unlike other fighters that [Porter] fought, I’m different. I believe you know that I’m different.”

Man….Porter fought Errol Spence, Yordenis Ugas, Kell Brook, Keith Thurman, and DSG. All in their prime. Even Porter’s sparring partners are better than Crawford’s resume. Porter was Pacquiao’s sparring partners back before he made it big.

Porter can say he is better than anyone on Crawford’s resume and that would be more accepted to be true by fans and media.

Porter’s lower level wins like Granados, Broner, Alexander, Julio Diaz, Berto, Malignaggi, Robinson, Lo Greco, and Alfonso Gomez, are more in line with Crawford’s weak resume. The above aforementioned names are the names you would catch on Crawford’s resume as the best he has fought.

Yer and were are all them boys hiding out at PBC.
Just like Spence said years ago Bud is on the wrong side of the street.
To me that's just a pathetic excuse.
If Porter can cross that street then why not Spence.

[BLASTER1]

If Bud dominates Porter as noone has even come close to doing he Is definitely p4p No.1.

[JakeTheBoxer]

If he is able to dominate Porter, than probably yes.

Canelo wasn`t dominant in his biggest wins.

[BodyBagz]

Canelo has to actually fight someone not shot at 175 to unify. Which he will not until they're old and washed up. I wouldn't call that any kind of amazing feat. Just like unifying ****ty 168 isn't.

Beating Porter has been done to the point where beating him isn't special.

Unifying > Beating Porter

[-Kev-]

If Bud dominates Porter as noone has even come close to doing he Is definitely p4p No.1.

What?

Did you miss Brook vs Porter? Brook won, at the minimum, 9 rounds. Even two judges had Brook winning by 8 and 9 rounds, on US Soil. He took the IBF title from Porter.

This was also prime Brook, pre-injuries, undefeated, and ranked #5 by The Ring at 147. Crawford fought a version of Brook that was about as relevant as Senchenko beating Ricky Hatton.

“Yer and were are all them boys hiding out at PBC.

Very few fighters can work with Arum. His own cash cows, DLH, Mayweather, Pacquiao and Cotto, all left TR to get better fights and more money. Arum rejected DLH for Mayweather, because Mayweather was asking for “too much”, at $20 mill. Mosley, who was GBP, also turned down Mayweather’s callouts because GBP and TR could not get along. Arum did not feel Mayweather could draw enough to warrant $20mill. Mayweather left TR, fought DLH, and earned $50 million from the fight.

Arum is already having public spats with Teofimo Lopez.

You are barking up the wrong tree. I don’t give a fck about PBC. It is obvious, clear that Arum blocks fights.

Also, Crawford vs Porter is happening because Arum is allowing it. Arum probably doesn’t care if Crawford loses anymore. Arum gets nothing out Crawford. He has publicly expressed his feelings about Crawford’s inability to be a big draw, and, said Arum even said he can’t deal with Crawford because Crawford is too difficult to work with. Your own promoter is telling the media that you are worth very little and he has no desire to negotiate anything with you.

That says it all.

Crawford was pushed into the Porter fight because Arum likes Porter’s chances of a W.

Spence has sold a total of around 900k PPV’s in 3 fights where he headlined. Crawford’s lone PPV couldn’t draw flies to a dumpster, selling under 150k. Despite this, Crawford thought he deserved 50-50. He priced himself out similar to Wilder with Joshua.

Some of these fighters with lame drawing power, or lesser drawing power, and lame resumes, want A-side money. And even now he is still delusional, seeing himself as some of big draw.

Tl;dr: Crawford is fighting Porter because Arum is allowing Crawford to fight Porter.

I dont need to tell you what Buds achieved cause I know you know but still believe its inferior to Porters or Spence. So to change your mind would be wasting my time.

Who has been calling out Spence since hes been the WBC champion at 147.
Who went to who's fight to make this fight maybe something of a reality.
Who told who to wait cause he on the wrong side of the street. lol.
Bud has been fighting whoever he can get in front of him and from the PBC boys upto now only Porter has been willing.
Dont talk about numbers cause it would be the biggest fight for BOTH fighters with a sold out arena why wouldn't Bud expect 50percent or over.
Bud is the A side p4p.

[Bronx2245]

That is until Canelo beats Plant, and becomes undisputed Champion @ 168! 154, 160, 175, and Undisputed @ 168! Sorry Bud, you can't overcome that, unless you become Undisputed @ both 140 and 147!

[Tibburon245]

If Crawford was 160 or so a Canelo fight would be big. Crawford will beat Porter with speed & precision. Shawn is a bull but TC is a matador.

[factsarenice]

Toughest active WW fight right now is Shawn Porter.
