Comments Thread For: Thurman Says Crawford Didn't Beat 'Real Champion' In Spence, Claims He Would Have Wiped Errol Too

This guy doesn't want to be a fighter anymore he just wants a payday so he can buy an RV and go around smoking weed talking to animals and sh**

Comments like this just further expose that everyone knew the whole time that PBC’s strategy has been to try to freeze Terence Crawford out of championship opportunities in the welterweight division. Everyone should blame Terence Crawford for PBC’s political business strategy because he didn’t go along with it. It didn’t seem to apply to Kell Brook when he fought Spence. It didn’t apply to Tyson Fury when he fought Wilder. And it obviously didn’t apply to Jeff Horn when not only was Spence begging him for a fight but the PBC literally had his face plastered up on the screen for one their shows as a recognized welterweight champion but later pretended like Terence Crawford didn’t exist after he beat Jeff Horn and took his belt. If you don’t think PBC deserves all of the blame for the shenanigans in the welterweight division then you just don’t care about the truth and only want to promote PBC.

No I approach the topic with common sense and logic with zero bias. Crawford is a big headed stubborn fighter who thinks he's worth the world and wanted everyone to respect the mediocre fighters he beat. He believes he was the A side and he should get this or that. He sounds like a true pain to negotiate with. Which is why he was disowned by his own promoter that made him millions for fighting said mediocre comp.

Im sure he proved his negotiation skills were awesome as he went and backdoored a deal while negotiating for the Spence fight. And fighting his usual level of comp like Avenyasan.

If you were listening Bob Arum spoke on this. That he thinks he should get paid this or that and how no one was paying for it. How he would lose money. It was Spence that had to give him all these tit for tat demands he wanted to stroke his ego and make the fight happen. Otherwise Crawford said himself he would retire.

These are facts. Crawfords dominant win vs Spence does not change them. That's the consensus on these forums. " See that's why PBC stayed away from Crawford ". No it was the same reason his promoter disowned him. Outside of him wanting too much money for a fight that wouldn't do the #s to justify it, and the rivalry between PBC and Top Rank, he didn't want those fights.

And he showed you how much he wanted them by signing to fight Avenyasan as a free agent. Fighting the same fights he was criticized for at Top Rank without being signed to Top Rank. Everyone's drinking the Kool aid. I'm good on this topic though. Just know Garcia or Thurman were not afraid to fight Crawford. They both fought more top 147 lb fighters than he has.

No. He couldn't even beat a 40 yr old blown up featherweight.

styles make fights. Thurman >>>>>> Spence

“[Crawford and I] could have fought in October, but [Crawford] fought some nobody [David Avanesyan]“

no lies detected.

Keith almost 35 years old and hasn't fought since February of 2022. Nuff said.

To be fair, Thurman certainly would've done better than Spence did, against Crawford.

I'm not saying he'd beat Crawford, just saying with his style, would've been somewhat more competitive. He should fight Ennis, that's a good fight, although Boots would be too much.

All of that you just said has already been debunked and people who talk like this will only go down in history as delusional haters. You’re using the words of a corrupt promoter to justify the corrupt practices of another promoter and bashing the fighter. Celebrating the fighter is “drinking the kool-aid” but having an irrational allegiance to a promoter and a broadcast network is “common sense”? You make kool-aid sound like a healthy beverage. You’re mad at Terence Crawford but in love with PBC and all of their slick deception and crooked plots. You promote the promoter and demote the fighter. Y’all PBC fans really completely lost the plot.

That is a complete lie. Terence Crawford did not fight David Avanesyan in October.

Fam you don't get points for what you woulda did

[Gary Coleman]

So when does Bud drop the belts, since he has no intention of fighting Boots?
