Comments Thread For: Crawford: Spence Fight Has Been Talked About For Years, Sometimes You Just Let Those Fights Pass You By

[Combat Talk Radio]

70/30! What an insult!

Insult?

After the Khan fight, Bob Arum - Crawford's OWN promoter - went on the air and told the world that he lost his shirt on that fight and with the money he lost, he could build a house in Beverly Hills. "nice house".

Crawford himself went on record and said he refused to do interviews with anyone who would ask him hard-hitting questions. That's why you don't see him talking to Raheem who called out that he hadn't done crap at 147 yet.

This is a guy who sells even less than Porter. Porter drew major faces in the crowd when he fought Broner and Berto and then later Spence.

Meanwhile Crawford struggles to sell out his OWN HOME TOWN.

The 70/30 is fair, bro. You're talking about a fight with the UNIFIED champion who beat FOUR Top 5 welterweights.

Crawford hasn't done anything close yet AT 147.

Maybe. But if you were Crawford with an undefeated record and everyone was pushing you to fight the top dog Spence, wouldn't you feel a little insulted if he only offered you 30%? I mean, couldn't Spence have offered 60/40?

I always knew once the time came for Crawford's spot in Spence's lineup was coming Crawford would not want the fight anymore. He is anything if not predictable at this point. He is very happy getting paid $4m a fight regardless who he fights. Boxing fans are gullible as hell thinking this dude some type of warrior or really cares about his legacy, he wants to coast his way to retirement fighting nobody anybody wants to see him fight. He doesn't want to fight Spence because once he takes that L he can't command that ridiculously inflated guaranteed purse he gets anymore.

You don't let mega fights like this pass you by if you really want to be considered one of the greats.

Capturing vacant titles to unify isn’t that special.

Doesnt change the fact he was undisputed. Its in the record books for a reason.

Terence No Pay Cut Crawford needs to stop talking about himself in the third person. He beginning to sound too much like Keith No Fight Thurman.

Lmaoooooooo

[KillaMane26]

These boxers starting to get too petty

[Oregonian]

How is me saying Crawford is a 3 weight world champion and Spence isn't showing ignorance of facts when the FACT is EXACTLY that?

How many Hall of famers has Crawford fought? How many Hall of famers were world champions at the weight Crawford was collecting World titles off? Who did he miss?

And how many Hall of famers has Spence fought? Your arguments are seriously unbalanced and seriously biased.. All I ever ask is both fighters are dragged through the same fire.

You know, Broner is a 4 weight champ too, so perhaps his career is better than Crawford, no?
Tank Davis too is a multiple weight champion, so perhaps his career is better too?

Context matters. So to answer your loaded question, you are suggesting that Crawford’s resume is better because he’s a 3 weight champ. That’s a factual statement of course but it intentionally ignores context.

Crawford has had a much longer career than Spence so he should be miles ahead of Spence in the greatness comparison conversation BUT he’s not.
I would say the same thing about Crawford even if Spence wasn’t in the conversation. Crawford’s record at 147 is a joke. It’s pretty simple. For a guy that’s been on the top 3 P4P list, it’s a shame that all he has to show for it is that he’s got a belt. Thankfully after last week, Canelo knocks him off that pedestal. And hopefully Porter nails that coffin shut with an upset win over him next week.

Crawford the man that got #1 p4p but never fought anybody

[Carpe Diem]

I’m telling y’all he’s going to retire like his buddies, Ward and Bradley. He’ll probably do enough to get into the HOF, but he’ll retire early without any memorable fights or performances. I guess you can say the Gamboa fight is his marquee performance, but that was against a guy he had all the physical advantage against.
