Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Frustrated He Hasn't Had Same Fate As Canelo Alvarez

You actually have to fight elite fighters without being forced to by mandatories. You can't duck and hide with the Top Rank protection program with ESPN exclusivity. Hoodrat thug activities like that mechanic situation doesn't help. Refusing to help promote yourself on radio, podcasts, tv, interviews, etc... with people that don't overrate and suck you off doesn't help. Delusionally thinking you're the A side or deserve 50/50 to a guy that draws more and has more belts doesn't help. Thinking that beating Jeff Horn makes you the top welterweight doesn't help. The guy is a narcissist and delusional.

Tell it like it is Fury hahaha.

GTFO Crawford. Canelo is where is he because he took risks and dared to be great.
Bud spent his prime years hiding behind Arum and taking soft tough fights.
Now times running out and he’s on his way to being quickly forgotten. He made his choice.

Boxing is tribal...

#1 P4P usually means #1 earner...even beating Porter won't change it because what he's talking about is more than talent & accomplishment, it's also race, nationality, notoriety & personality. At age 34...if I was him, I'd go after Charlo & snatch a title in another division...its a risk but thatd be huge.

He's running out of time as a prime fighter...better hurry!

Great advice and post, thanks Baba.

Crawford has everything to be a superstar: super skilled with a mean streak, a great background story, impressive accolades, etc...the problem has always been making the fights we want to see...Canelo is the cash cow so he can make any fight he wants to from 160-175...he's following Floyd's blueprint to the tee (catch fighters at the right time, set the terms, be your own promotor)...he can call his shots because he's his own boss meanwhile Arum out here ****ting on TC...TC should be the most important fighter in your stable with how good he is and the valuable fights he can make but instead TC is caught up in Arum's beef with Al Haymon and can't get to the big fights...Arum even dropped the ball on Pacquiao...learn the lesson Mayweather, De La Hoya, and Pacquiao himself learned and get away from Top Rank! Eddie Hearn out he wheeling and dealing for his fighters and Arum acts like you should bow down to him and be thankful for your cut of the action

Canelo, Fury and Usyk ran towards the hardest competition, not away from it.

that’s why they’re the top 3 boxers on the planet right now.

American boxing scene right now is just a pack of businessmen that live on the shelf or make a career of fighting B and C tier competition until they are forced to fight someone good. There are exceptions like Porter but very few tbh

[Greenfield02]

Crawford only has himself, Bob, and his manager to blame. He constantly claimed that fighters were avoiding him, but the truth was he was pricing himself out and not trying as hard as he claims to actually get something done. No one wants to hear you crying about your decisions.

Crawford is 10 times better than the drug cheat Redballs
Crawford hasn't lost minimum 3 times like Clenelo

When will Crawford understand that he has to win meaningful fights with recognizable names to go up in status? So brilliant in the ring not so outside of it.

Bud can catapult himself if he can stop Porter. Then push for Ugas and Spence unification. If they aren't will to sign move to 154 and fight Charlo or Castano.

No sorry not good enough everybody expects him to stop Porter who is tailormade he wins on points just proves nothing special

Thats a big part of it, often times you have to beat famous boxers to get famous. Mosley, Cotto, & GGG are all likely HOFers (whether you want them to be or not) and he has wins against all of them. Kovalev was recently, within the past decade, a top three P4P fighter in the eyes of some major publications; Canelo beat him too.

Nobody outside of the hardcore fans cares that these guys were old and past their primes, they were big names and that let Canelo build up his name. Now, HE is the big name because of it.
