Comments Thread For: Crawford: On Paper, This Fight With Shawn Porter Is My Toughest Test

[elfag]

Porter lost to Brook, whom he already beat. So technically on paper this isn't his toughest test.

brook had his face broken twice before Arum threw him to Crawford. crawford only even fought him because it was a name people knew that wasnt owned by haymond.

We're not going to act like Kell Brook didn't soundly defeat Shawn Porter 7 years ago.

It'll be a good win for Bud, but the only feather he can put in his cap is by defeating Porter easier than guys who have already beat him.

Crawford is trying to control the narrative.

Porter lost to prime Brook. Before he went up two weight classes and had his face caved in by GGG. The Brook Bud beat was a faded shell of himself.
Kind if like Porter is now after so many battles.

Porter has never been koed though, are you sure you know what you are saying?

Hes been dropped and Buds a much better finisher than Errol and Broner. Bud also fights better off the backfoot. Porters style plays right into Buds. The style match up is 100% in favor of Bud.

He was never hurt when both Errol and Broner dropped him. To be honest i have never seen a fighter more fired up after being dropped but i respect your response nevertheless because what you say is still true

If there is 1 thing Porter has is strong ass legs. His legs will get him back up even if his head is cloudy but again Bud is a much better finisher than the others. I did think he was hurt after Broner dropped him and it was off a counter. Buds going to counter him all night imo.

But mucho respect, we will see fight night. I am happy for Bud for getting this opportunity, Ive just never been a fan of Porters style.

I’m of two minds….Crawford may have finally run into a strong full sized welterweight that can overpower him especially since he’s a slow starter…..on the other hand, Crawford can be a masterful boxer and has the skills to outbox Porter if Porter chooses to be a boxer rather than a brawler

Crawford is lying through his teeth. He did not seek this challenge that’s an outright lie. He avoided Porter the last 2 years fighting bums chasing a manny Pacquaio fight. Porter respectfully said he’d take this fight 2 years ago. TC said no. Porter never mentioned it again cause they are friends outside the ring. Bob arum letting this fight happen so he can be rid of Crawford and the money pit he brings
