Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford-David Avanesyan: Stats & Stakes

[BlackRobb]

You all whined, shrieked and yammered for Crawford to fight Porter, remember? You all said Bud was running from Porter, his WBO mandatory, remember? After Bud flattened Shawn's tires, the narrative quickly changed to "Shawn was semi-retired" and "Porter was shot", remember?

Crawford hasn't fought since November 2021. Spence and Al had since April to make the Crawford fight. Instead, they played games and did everything possible to push the fight to 2023 because Al ran out of hedge fund money and had to beg for more. And that's Crawford's fault and Bud is supposed to wait around another 4-5 months for Alcoholic Earl, with no iron-clad guarantee that the fight will be made this time either? You all must be efffffing insane. Or on drugs. Or both.

I know your hate for a successful multimillionaire businessman you’ve only read about and never met outweighs your rational thought process but I guess this is where we’ve arrived. The mind can do funny things for those with celebrity worship and rationalize any story that provides them comfort so their hero can look better. However, your stories concerning another man’s finances and monetary position is a reflection of today’s younger generation who is unable to handle their emotions.

You sound pretty unglued and should probably take a respite from celebrity chasing.

Crawford fought only two fighters that were really worthy opponents, but none was a super threat. He fought Gamboa before Gamboa became irrelevant, and he fought Shawn Porter when the public demanded it.

I felt Porter would be a legitimate challenge that could give Crawford a run for his money. So I actually admired when he stepped up to the plate to face Porter.

But in between Porter and Gamboa, there were no real challengers. It was like when Roy Jones would face part time boxer/cops that had inflated 30 and 2 records, lol.

When I think of boxers who dared to be great, I think of Ali that said give me Liston again, give me Frazier, give me Foreman. I think of Leonard who said give me Duran again, give me Hearns, I'm ready for Hagler. I think of De La Hoya that said give me Trinidad, give me Chavez. I think of Sweet Pea that said, give me anyone. Mayweather that said, give me De La Hoya, give me Corrales.

Crawford says these things, but doesn't sign the contract.

It's like he's afraid to lose his O; afraid to be in a fight where he'd be an underdog.

Fighters who dare to be great, ignore the naysayers. They have confidence in themselves, and always has that "something" that the Great one's have up their sleeves.

Crawford is proving to me that he has nothing up his sleeve that would mirror intestinal fortitude.

I hope the PPV totally flops. It is time for some folks to learn their lesson about putting crap on PPV. There needs to be some accountability learning and maybe we will start seeing better fights.

Avaneseyan isn't a bad fighter. He is probably 1 in Europe & Conor Benn has gone out of his way to avoid him. There just are levels & David isn't at Terrence's. If David fought Jaron or Vergil I could give him a chance because of his edge in experience. I can't give him any realistic chance v Terrence (& wouldn't v Errol either).

I'm over 50 and hold a degree in economics. Unlike you, I have real world experience, know how money works and don't live in my grandma's attic. You really ought to break that PBC/LDBC trance you're under before it's too late.

Lol! I’ve been around “degree ivory tower schmucks” all my life. Mine is in business with a minor in Finance. However, that MEANS NOTHING with respect to your nonsensical comments regarding his monetary position. Based on what we know, he’s far from broke. Real world experience? I’ve stepped foot in and spent many years immersed within the cultures of 7 different countries. Trained with, fought with, shed blood sweat and tears with many. I also haven’t lived at home since the age of 17, the day I stepped on the yellow footprints at PI. So don’t go lecturing me about real world experience and independence.

LDBC trance? Son I’m as hard as f u c king nails. I cannot and will NEVER be mentally broken or influenced. My training, real life experiences and bouts with staring death in the face of fear is more than 98% only see on television as depicted by fake a s s Hollywood. Trust me, my mind is conditioned to take more mental and physical torture than a normal human can endure.

So let’s focus here….I called you out concerning your comment about Haymon and his financial state. He’s far from broke. He is and continues to be an accomplished, extremely successful business executive. You just don’t like the fact that you’ve been called out on your emotional bull****.

Everyone is "hard as nails" on social media. I've seen your kind countless times. If you have a degree in finance, I own a mansion, yacht and penthouse on Central Park South. But the fact that you're a fraud with a big mouth is neither here nor there.

Shady Al has been operating with hedge fund cash. That's common knowledge in the sport. I never said that he was personally broke. I said his promotional outfit ran out of cash for 2022 and that's why he negotiated in bad faith with Crawford knowing full well he wasn't making the Spence fight until 2023. Stop being a hyper-emotional beanbag and try reading in context.
