Comments Thread For: Crawford On Facing Gervonta Davis: I'll Stay At 147 For Him Because That's A Big Money Fight

[4truth]

Do you get mad at casual fans in any other sport?

Of course not.

Do you ever get angry at ethnic fans that come out only when a countrymen is scheduled to fight?

No.

You criticize the casual Mexican fans that come out for Canelo but not every other Mexican boxers, no matter who he fights?

No.

Youre mad with Tank fans though because they like seeing him fight as casual fans.

What is your real issue because this makes no sense.

WTF does this have to do with ethnicity?

What it has to do with is a sport where the best try real hard to test themselves against the best. Pretty much every other sport, as it turns out but not boxing.

The people who like Tank like his talent as well. Many appear to be new casual fans that like just Tank and want to see him fight.

That bothering you is crazy.

Let the anger go. Try being happy new and more fans are watching the sport through him rather than being mad they arent they dont look at the sport the way you do.

You arent this condescending and derogatory to other fan based.

Them casual fans end up thinking what Davis does vs no hopers ends makin them think that's the way boxing is supposed to be. THATS THE PROBLEM

Tank-Crawford at 143 might be good.

Crawf aint giving Davis no leeway, no rehydration, no cw, no nothin. If Davis wants the smoke he needs to come correct or stfu. He can play with them lil boys at 135 and below, but Crawf a grown man and aint putting up w/the bullsh.it.

Lmfao. That is utterly ridiculous.

Casual fans dont think about the sport that deep. If they did they wouldn’t be casuals. They dont care about the sweet science like we do.

Isnt that ok?

Why would you care what they think anyway?

This seems to be about something else. There is such nasty resentment Haymon and Floyd have built him into a draw with casual fans.

They do think like that. Idk how many casuals kept talking about how great he was vs Garcia (who hasn't proved sh.it himself). Mofos kept talkin bout how it was a championship fight. Then I told em about how there's an undisputed champ already at 135 and Taylor who was undisputed at 140.

He fights who he should instead of who he wants to. That's the problem. Damn near 10 years as a pro and yall still gas this guy up like he's the best out. He hasn't proven that. He's cherry picked lesser foes, fought for 2ndary titles yet calls himself a 3 division champ.

And for all his skills hes not showing them vs the foes he SHOULD be fighting. Waste of talent tbh.

I'm assuming you mean after the 2nd Golovkin fight. Smith, Saunders, Plant, Bivol and I'd even say that Ryder was a legit fight, Yildrim less so. The rest were questionable because they were tainted with a-side shenanigans.

Well, his resume' is not much better than Gervonta "Tank" Davis since that time then like: Cuellar, Ruiz, Nunez, Gamboa, Santa Cruz, Barrios, Cruz, Romero, H. Garcia and Ryan Garcia.

I think Crawford seems a little delusional lately, desperately searching for big pay days.

He should fight Boots at 147 and rematch Spence at 154.

[champion4ever]

These dudes want Inoue to jump up 3 weight classes to fight Tank but are terrified of Tank moving up one weight class from his highest weight for this super fight.

Then make it happen. I am all for it. I just wish that you guys held Canelo Alvarez to the same standard as Gervonta Davis with all his mismatches.

Why doesn't Alvarez pick on someone in his own weight class or a live body? Rather than reaching down two weight classes (14 pounds) to challenge a Super welterweight in Jermell Charlo.

Dude that cant be that upsetting to you. I have to explain titles to casuals and its never made me angry at a boxer.

He fights who he wants to because he has managed to develop a paying fanbase that supports him. Nothing is stopping other boxers from doing same.

Now if you have an issue with some of his fights and his lack of willingness to fight other top LWs- ok. I and many others agree with you.

But Hating his fans because they are casuals is a bit much. Ive never seen this in all my years watching the sport.

They support who they like. No different than other fans.

If Davis wants some real smoke and not that bammer he stays puffin on, Bud will welcome his @ss. But aint gonna be rehydration clauses, catchweights, moles, etc.

I can’t see any scenario in which Tank takes up this challenge. Terrance seems to be of the same mind. No knock on Tank, he’s one of my favorites, but that’s man v boy.
