Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Set A Trend, Once I Became Undisputed, Everybody Wanted To Become Undisputed!

spence and bud are both clowns. nothing to be proud of undefeated or undisputed records if you don't have hall of fame scalps there.

That’s completely false, sir. Terence “TBE” Crawford’s resume is filled with top-notch first ballot HOF and ATG boxers.

In this day and age, unifying and becoming undisputed is as much down to circumstance as anything else. It largely depends on whether you have the right promoter, at the right time, in the right weight class, etc...

Case in point, Devin Haney is the undisputed lightweight champ yet there are at least 3-4 other guys who would likely be in that very same spot if they had been fortunate enough to receive the opportunity.

I absolutely agree. Undisputed is an "iffy" label.....it means more when you beat 4 champs for the undisputed tag than it does beating a Kambosis who was lucky to be at the right place, right time with a Teofimo who had the wrong temperment. Kambozo wouldn't have gotten anymore than 1 belt if lucky had he have faced the others in his division (if they held titles).

Postol and Burns on the road were favored to beat him. He smokes them and they turn into bums. Standard rock in the head boxing fan logic. Legit undisputed fighter. Should be fighting for 2nd if the Haymon wasn't trying to sell the neck kissing man drinker to Canelo and Charlo flaming out every time Crawford says he'd like to have an undisputed vs undisputed match up. Only in boxing! Never see this in MMA/UFC

They were never favoured to beat him.

Has Crawford realized that he's the only one giving interviews? Spence has been quiet...... Crawford is hanging himself by the delusional minute.

As the saying goes, a hurt dog will holler. Bud has been hollering for weeks.

Bud certainly following a trend of cherry picking and marinating fights

I agree somewhat, but the thing is Boots has a lot of pride and self confidence, he's not going to know or accept that enough is enough. When Spence goes to war with fighters, they are never the same. Look at a prime Kell Brook, a prime Porter, and poor, poor Ugas....I think he broke that man's whole face, after destroying his body, and even DSG, he took almost 2 years off after and said it messed with his mental health. The point is, no one that fights a tough battle with Mr. STRAP SEASON is ever the same, and Boots strikes me as the type of boxer that would go to war. He's too young for Mr. MAN DOWN to make him into a vessel of himself. I like Boots, so of course, I want him to reach his potential, that's why I'm saying The Bodysnatcher is all wrong for him right now. Let Ennis make some money by fighting some top contenders or Crawford, enjoy his fame and put his stamp on the division before you send him to The Truth and his day of reckoning. Floyd played with his food when he fought Cinnabon, toyed with him. That's not Spence's style, unless your name is Mikey.

If that's the case,Boots wouldn't fight him until it's @ 154! I have faith in Boots, He might nor win, but he won't get BROKEN DOWN like Brook or Ugas! Spence didn't do it to DSG nor Porter, and I think Boots is better than BOTH!

Agreed, but Porter nor DSG were the same after either.

Bud just pissed off Bronx2245, and he might be thinking about putting on the gloves himself. Don't let the bull**** get under your skin, whether it's being said by a boxer, a fan, or the public. That said Terrance Crawford doesn't appear to know much about the history of the sport boxing. This undisputed champion is only being talked about now because there are four, or five different boxing organizations. Polluting the sport with their version of who is the champion in a particular weight division. Greed ultimately corrupts everything it gets it's grimy fat paws on, and ruins career's in the long run. Crawford is pissed off himself, because instead of fighting Spence he's fighting a ranked contender # 10 Avanesyan. What's truly amazing is that Spence doesn't appear to have lost a single step, after his horrific car crash. That said I agree with you that Spence would defeat Crawford, and Ennis if they ever fight.

I am pissed at Bud, and I will be pissed at Spence, if he fights Thurman! If he wants to make a statement @ 147, he doesn't choose Thurman! Thurman is only slightly better than Avanesyan, and that's only because he was a "former" unified Champion @ 147! However he did nothing after Manny beat him, then comes back vs. Barrios, and WBC makes him mandatory? That's BS and we both know it! I want Spence to stick to his words, don't fight Thurman, fight Boots! Nobody could criticize Spence EVER, if he chooses Boots! Boots is "The Boogeyman @ 147," just like our boy Subriel Matias is @ 140! If not Boots, move up to 154 and fight Fundora! F-K Keith Thurman!

[STREET CLEANER]

Bud makes it sound like he went through murderous row to be undisputed at 140. That division was very weak and there was no money unless they fought each other. Now he is holding up the 147 unification.

He talks like other fighters in the past never unified the major titles available. He is delusional.
