Comments Thread For: Crawford: Even If It Was A Knockdown Against 'Mean Machine,' Whoop-De-Do! He Got Knocked Out

[Combat Talk Radio]

Porter is physically strong but doesn’t hit no where near as hard as Kav. I’ve never considered him a hard puncher. Come to think of it, who was the last guy Porter even knocked out ? Paulie?

Gamboa had Crawford on Bambi legs. And Gamboa was undersized.

So

[kushking]

The previous KO'd victims of Bud all would beat Porter:

1. Brook (done)
2. Khan
3. Horn
4. Kavaliauskas
5. Benavidez Jr.
6. Indongo

You Bud fans are funny, Benevidez had 1 working leg & wasn't kod,he was just toppled over once his leg buckled,Indongo was as sht as sht gets,he got ktfo by everyone as soon as he stopped fighting bums in Afrika,Brook was a bum shell of himself as was Con,Horn was the most legit on that list & he still ******.

Porter would be Undefeated if he & Bud swapped resumes,& Bud would have losses.

Danny also has never had any intention on fighting Bud at 140 or 147. Plus when they both were at 140 the Cold War between Haymon and Bob was still a thing so that was never gonna happen regardless.

Bud in my opinion is a victim of circumstance. The PBC guys never wanted any part of him. He’s always called them out, whereas they all took pride in telling him that he was on the wrong side of the street, they were getting more money than him, they have more options etc. etc. Not one of them has ever uttered “I want Crawford next” instead they have every reason not to fight him

I would support your argument, if not for one fact. Bud could've went to where all the action was, and he chose not to! He signed an extension with TR. You don't sign to play in the G-League and declare, "LeBron is scared to play me!"

Meanwhile, Porter was on the canvas against little Broner.

A Broner who was terrified the whole fight until he figured out that Porter really wasn't landing anything clean and that there was nothing to be scared of because he barely ever lands anytnig - the minute he figured that out, he put Porter down.

[Izzy1973]

I am not saying that the outcome would had changed but an eight count and a acknowledgement that it was a knockdown at that time does changes the dynamics a bit.

The count only gives Bud more time to rest & recover from the shot. Bud would possibly have ended the fight earlier had Mean Machine been credited with the knock down.

PS: Watching live, I also felt that Mean Machine should have been credited with a knock down

You're suggesting that Spence IS special...based on - what - exactly? What has Spence done to be revered as special? Dude is also quite ordinary. In the Porter win Spence had the ref in his pocket and was allowed to throw ~50-75 low blows without warning or punishment. Spence has yet to fight a legitimate prime opponent and has actively avoided an available opponent in Crawford because he's Top Rank and he's black...and Spence apparently doesn't want to fight CERTAIN black fighters.


LMFAO

Spences resume is light years beyond Crawford sorry man. He’s been dominating top 5 opponents at 147 since he dismantled Brook IN ENGLAND. You say bud is this P4p stalwart but he hasn’t faced the best fighters in ANY DIVISION HES EVER BEEN IN. Who he beat at 140 of note? Who he beat at 147 of note? Wh o he ever even beat at 135 of note? Postol? Indongo? Diaz? Like I don’t get it. The mans resume is Str8 garbage. Best fighter he beat under 147 was gamboa and gamboa never panned out to be that good. Think about that. While bud campaigned 135-140 he could’ve fought: regis mikey garcia josh Taylor all 3 were top rank Dsg who was PBC none of those fights happened. Dude fought Felix diaz Ricky burns Julius Indongo
John molina viktor postol like what in the hell lol. Then when he moved up to 147 he fought joe horn Amir con mean machine kalvauskis the ghost of kell Brook one legged benevidez who was on one leg and hasn’t fought since lol. To say he’s some p4p stalwart is irresponsible. He literally hasn’t beaten anyone of note and has not fought ANY OF THE BEST FIGHTERS IN ANY DIVISION HES EVER BEEN IN. **** just don’t make sense lol

Ur an idiot Porter won every round Cept the one he got dropped in also broner has fought better opposition than Crawford has it’s not even close

[LAchargers373]

Terence crawford is about as good as DSG if we’re being honest. Skills wise. Resume wise DSG make crawford look like a lil boy

Spence has been with PBC for how long and couldn’t get a Thurman fight. He had a belt & was under the same banner. Thurman didn’t want it so it didn’t happen.

My argument still holds true none of these guys have ever called out Crawford. He has been calling them out. His team has made offers to Porter, Danny & Thurman. They all said the money wasn’t right but never countered. Never approached Crawford with an offer to call his bluff.

Why does Crawford have to chase them? He’s the champ. Why is the champ chasing challengers? Why don’t they leave PBC to pursue a fight with him? Why should Crawford have to leave his promoter to fight them ? - When Fury and Wilder both have fought twice under different promotions. Its just another excuse to not fight. It’s up to the fighters. If they really wanna fight they can make it happen. None of them wanna fight him though.

Gamboa had Crawford on Bambi legs. And Gamboa was undersized.

So

So… that was 7 years ago…Gamboa who was a great fighter at the time, momentarily clipped a bigger man for a few seconds of a fight with a good shot. He never touched the canvas and then knocked Gamboa out..

So…what does that have to do with Porters lack of punching power ?
