Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Really Don't Think It'll Damage My Legacy If Spence Fight Doesn't Happen

With his water chin he isn't beating Charlo. He can't even beat Spence. The entitled clown is advising himself.

If he's advising himself, he needs to fire himself lol.

I like the picture of Bud that goes with this article. It looks like nobody wanted to sit near him after he said that ridiculous thing.

It does Bud. Legacy fights ARE important. You get the accolades for unifying 135 and becoming undisputed at 140 BUT you have yet to accomplish much at 147. The only thing that can erase that is if u either beat Spence at 147 OR move up and unify/undisputed at 54

I used to be a big fan of his. But I’m convinced now he’s a duck… a talented duck, but just a duck nonetheless …

he’s a ducking boxer

Not every fighter becomes a crossover star like Floyd, DLH etc but would people know who they are if they had never won championships? Would they have been able to get big fights without first getting belts? You mention Calzaghe but his legacy is his accolades. Without his belts, his legacy is greatly diminished.

Janibek is an email champ, get it? Dude sucks.



Calzaghe has a legacy lol?

Duckford, you are kidding yourself, without the Spence fight you haven't got a legacy, this is how you are delusional. Now go and fight boots and Ortiz

He might fight Ortiz, but he won't fight Boots.

I can agree with this somewhat. But if we are being honest, we have entered a new era in boxing. One where promoters protect their fighters even at the highest levels. Fighters are not the same as they were 20 years ago, where legacy means as much.

The argument can be made that Crawford fought and won his belts in a weak era for the sport. Spence had the exact same issue though. There just aren't a bunch of all timers in the sport right now. I personally think Crawford is a far better fighter skill wise. Spence is freakish athletically, but he is very basic and isn't exciting.

I have always thought Spence needed Bud more than Bud needs him. I see a stoppage win for Bud and after the fact everyone will say Spence only fought PBC guys and the win will seem less impressive than we all think.

I'd love to see the fight, but Haymon does not want Bud hurting his investment. PBC has defined the "never take a risk" era of the sport. And Bud is 35, he has a few years of prime left. He should be fighting for the money at this point, he isn't a 23 year old prospect or something.

People that can't see what PBC is doing aren't paying attention. The sport is dying.

You just sound like a bias Crawford fan/PBC hater who is trying to hide behind a diplomatic post.To even try to deny that Crawford is the reason this fight isn't not happening is idiotic. Do better...

fights not happening does damage legacy but buds clever, in his head the legacy being damaged is not his, its spences legacy thats being damaged, hes all good

He's already trying to create the narrative to the public that he's solidified regardless, and if we eat that up, he's definitely not going to fight him. I've never seen this in Crawford before, but I'm starting to think that he really believes that he can't beat Spence. Not that he's afraid, but he just knows that he won't win. I guess I had him credited with more dog than he actually has in him.
