Comments Thread For: Crawford Reacts To Canelo's Criticism About Lackluster Resume: 'Y'all so Delusional It's Crazy'

[Jab jab boom]

Beating a crippled weight drain Spence coming out more than a year lay off is consider great.

What canelo win was better and or more impressive? And please don’t give me that judges assisted gift decision over a 36 year old ggg.

Look at the end of the day Crawfords resume is not that good and it's his own fault no one else's. When his first contract with top rank was up he decided to stick with Bob knowing top rank didn't have anything for him at WW it's the same song different fighter just like Pacquiao.

Also miss me with the PBC don't make fights argument as soon as Crawford signed a deal with PBC what happened he got Spence. It's his fault that he didn't get Danny Garcia when Garcia was undefeated, it's his fault he didn't get Shawn Porter when he was undefeated and he could have got Thurman also when he was one time and not once upon a Time. He could have also got Spence before the crash and squashed all this debate about the car crash and messed up eye crap.

At the end of the day it's his own fault for the decision he and his team have made. Now he's still looked at as as a great fighter with no real dance partner due to not making the right decisions.

Just imagine would we be having this conversation if Crawford moved up to 147 and took on Danny Garcia Shawn Porter Keith Thurman, Brook and Spence (not in the order) the answer is hell no...

that's how you shut the haters up and force them to give you, your props... or else what you have is well he beat Spence but he was in a car accident and his eye and well Spence stayed at 147 too long and (insert what ever excuse I missed).

To the Crawford fans that say oh there's always going to be excuses well again it's Crawfords fault for letting these excuses come up. In my scenario where he fought the top guys if he would have left top rank (which was a near 100% scenario if he signed with PBC) there would have been no definitive and legitimate way to make any viable excuse.

Honestly don’t think it’s Crawfords fault, if he were a PBC fighter it’d be stronger

but Canelo at the moment has the stronger resume

a lot Canelo hate but whatevs

This kind of links to the argument re PBC controlling boxing. Crawford was with Top Rank so hardly a low tier boxing promoter. That said TR/Arum destroyed Crawford so i wont blame PBC just bit fed up w all the fights not being made because of someone not pledging allegiance to PBC / Haymon.

I really hope Crawford moves up and beats Canelo even though it seems impossible.

Tbh, am a bit personally invested in Crawford success as he stands out as one of the few fighters w true character. Remembers where he came from and pays it forward. Not like Canelo, Mayweather etc who are selling their soul and all about empire building. Canelo is all time great in the boxing ring just hate that he has become a diva and i sense many Mexicans feel the same.

Also Crawford went against the corrupt system and won so is very satisfying with the egg on the face of everyone who set him up to fail - Arum, Haymon most of all.

Otherwise his resume isn’t much better than Crawford’s so his criticism is lame and wreaks of insecurity.

The level of delusion is out of this world. Bud's resume is trash compared to Canelo's and the worst I've ever seen for a P4P #1.

[Caxcan]

Canelo wants everyone to rave about his undisputed status but nobody that he beat to become undisputed at 168 had any elite wins. He wants people to rave about him fighting another undisputed champion two weight classes below him, but charlo hasn’t had any elite wins either. Canelo is hanging onto a shady/controversial win over a 36 yr old ggg , a competitive 12 round win over a 35 yr old smaller Cotto, a decision over 40 yr old Mosley and a late stoppage over a 36 yr old Kovalev that was 3-3 with 2 ko losses in his last 6 on 10 weeks rest. That’s all that really separates his resume, the name value of the old men he fought while he was in his 20’s. Otherwise his resume isn’t much better than Crawford’s so his criticism is lame and wreaks of insecurity.

Trying to knock Canelo's wins over future HOF'ers who were still reigning champs only makes Crawford look all the worse because other than Spence, the most notable guys on his resume were never-will-be-HOF ex champs who were years past winning a title fight. You even knock undisputed champ Charlo but expect people to be impressed by Crawford fighting a gatekeeper or damaged ex champ as his only fight of the year. Crawford's just never shown his ambition. Canelo was champ by age 20, unified and Ring champ by age 22 and continues lining up champs after doing it all. Bud didn't challenge for his first title until he was nearly 27 and mailed it in throughout most of his 30s fighting once a year before finally having an anticipated fight when he was pushing 36 without having faced a champ in the five years previous to that.

Spence was just as good as Golovkin and Bud didn't have to fight him three times to barely separate himself. Avanasyan..just as good as Ryder. Porter... Just as good as plant/Jacobs. Mean machine..more dangerous and game than Saunders was in comparison. Benavidez and Horn >>> Yildirim and Fielding. Bivol, Lara, Floyd...the three fighters that give Saul's resume an edge...all beat Canelo. If Thurman, Pacquiao, and Garcia hadn't avoided Crawford like the plague...we wouldn't even be having this conversation...And who cares anyway, when all four fighters that Beat Canelo all stated in different interviews this year..that Crawford was p4p #1. Not alvarez. Canelos resume spoke lol.

Talk about reaching. GGG is more dangerous, tougher and a savvier pressure fighter than Spence has ever been. He was the betting favorite in those matchups including the rematch when Canelo backed him up and turned the tables on him. Spence was out here going the distance with ex featherweight Garcia and badly staggered by the likes of Ugas in his prior fight. Lara alone is trickier than anyone Bud has faced and Canelo claimed that well earned win at 23. Bud was fighting nobodies until his late 20s


Twice broken eye socket victim ex champ Brooks and gatekeepers Kavaliauskas and Avanesyan were 3 years worth of work for Bud on his 1 fight a year schedule. Canelo faced bigger, undefeated champs Smith, Saunders and Plant all within a year plus scheduling his mandatory in between. As a matter of fact, during the time it took Crawford to make one unification with Spence, Canelo faced champs GGG twice, Jacobs, Kovalev, Smith, Saunders, Plant, Bivol and Jermell plus squeezed in 2 mandatories and another 168 top 10. Bud has never shown Canelo's energy, point blank.

Khan was recently warning Crawford not to move up and repeat his mistake. Let's see if Bud is for real or just clout chasing because mentioning Canelo's name has brought him more exposure than his actual fights.

Canelo doesn't pay it forward? The guy practically carried the sport the sport on his back coming out of lockdown fighting four times in under a year while most of the top fighters remained semi active. He built his empire on staying busy and fighting champs while other guys wish to be paid like him without putting in the same work.

[jas]

this is canelo's M.O. though, he said the same thing about andrade and benavidez

yet he never fought the best fighter at 168 (benavidez) or 175 (beterbiev)

canelo is at the stage where his trainers navigate his career carefully and he himself stays thinking he is the p4p best in a delusional way. now canelo has moved the goalposts and says "no-one does what he does" in terms of fighting the best. and he uses boxing's flawed belt system to fool people. so yet again, he is going after the champ but 2 weight divisions lower . then he is gonna go after his brother, 1 weight division lower and a belt holder.

canela couldn't even stop old *ss mosley and cotto. he should've at least KD one of them but that didn't happen

even in his trilogy against an old *ss ggg, not a single kd man

[Knuckle sandwich]

Canelo is the A side, Crawford will just have to except it.

Fight won't happen anyways!
