Comments Thread For: Crawford: Porter Makes Fights Ugly, He Got A Skill Of Winning By Any Means Necessary

[A_State501]

Porter can make anyone look bad. A lot is riding on this fight for Bud Crawford. A poor performance will greatly diminish his prospects for future fights with other PBC welterweights. That plus talk about him being Number one P4P will lessen. If Bud blows Porter away, there will be a lot of pressure on Spence and the others to quit avoiding him. I look for Crawford to completely dominate Porter and ****e things up in that weight division.

The only people that I seen avoiding anything is Canelo avoiding his Mandatory at 160 when it was Charlo (He dropped the belt and ran after saying he was going to unify 160) and currently Oscar Valdez avoiding Shakur.

Spence has said several times that he planned on facing Bud after Pac. He had a three fight plan that was laid out clearly but a certain demographic acts like Black fighters are avoiding each other is an old tired narrative.

Honestly think Porter is the most overrated fighter in the game. Crawford should beat him easily the way Spence did if he's legit.

For the life of me, Porter is the only fighter who gets credit for going the distance and making fights ugly. He has 1 big fight in his career.

Looks like everyone agrees this is a 50/50 fight. Huge props should be awarded to the winner. Am I correct people?

This is gon be a hell of a fight I can’t wait. NOBODY has tested Crawford the way porter is gonna test him. I’m curious to see how he is gonna handle that. Hell reading this thread Crawford really don’t know how he is gonna handle it.

I'm rooting for Porter to use his ugly style to win by any means necessary.

He'll try to do what he did against Kavaliauskas - get dirty right back.

And I hope he does. Because that favors Porter.

Oh my touchy are we? Do your research! Charlo was never Canelo's mandatory. Moreover, Golden Boy made a lucrative offer on behalf of Canelo to Jermall Charlo. The response was crickets from Jermall. In fact, his own brother Jermell took Jermall to task in a long and loud YouTube rant for avoiding that fight. That video was widely seen and is still available if you care to look at it, but some people avoid facts like the plague if they don't fit their prejudices. When asked in the runup to the Plant fight who he wants to fight next, Canelo quickly and eagerly replied, "Charlo." The response from Charlo...crickets. That fight will only take place if Al Haymon lights a fire under Charlo's arrse to make him step up and fight Canelo.

Finally, Charlo has an easy path to fighting Canelo. Beat Boo Boo for his middleweight title then declare that he wants to move up to 168 lbs and he automatically becomes Canelo's mandatory! Enough with this babble about Charlo being ducked. You seem to see things through some kind of race lens. My bad, it is not about race is it, but about "a certain demographic" whatever the helllll that means. Keep in mind, sometimes facts matter. Gosh, I forgot, nothing in this world prevents Charlo from asking Haymon to send Canelo a signed offer to make the fight happen.
