Comments Thread For: Benavidez: I Respect Crawford A Lot, But I Don't Wanna See A 147-Pounder Fight A 168-Pounder

[maguirre]

Can't the media first find out if the Spence vs Crawford rematch is happening? Why is there a news blackout on that rematch? Where is Spence? What are his plans?

[Theshotyoudontsee]

Canelo wanted to fight for the Cruiserweight title and people cheered him on...

Remember that? Canelo went to the WBC convention and begged to avoid Benavidez and instead challenge for the Cruiserweight title... 168 to 190

The difference between Canelo and Crawford is skin color - I'm going to get frank here. Canelo wants to jump up 22 pounds, and is applauded; Crawford wants to jump 19 pounds and is discouraged. So, the Mexican warrior can do it, but the small little black man shouldn't try?

I bring up skin color because of what would have happened if Mayweather looked like how Fury looked against a top MMA fighter. Mayweather's legacy would forever be tarnished. Fury will continue to be praised like he's some all time world beater. The difference? Weight and race.

Nevertheless, Crawford is a much smarter fighter than Charlo, and Canelo, for some reason, makes his opponents stand in awe of him. Crawford won't care, like he didn't against Spence. The only problem is... Crawford is 35-36? Adding 19 pounds, at this stage, would be.. unlikely..

Don't kill me, Thread lololol

Huh? As a nerdy white dude, Bud is my favorite active fighter and I think he has a shot at beating Canelo. Canelo is one dimensional and Bud is incredibly strong at 147, he has a wrestling background. He also walks around at 170-180 from what I have seen, and he doesn't look fat at the weight, just not as cut up.

Canelo could obviously catch him and stop him, but skill wise and ring IQ wise Bud is a phenom and would likely outbox Canelo easily. Before the current zillion weight classes, great fighters in the old days often fought far bigger men, and won. Bud has that potential. It's boxing, anything can happen. It is an exciting fight and far better than Canelo trying to pull Jack down to 180 lol.

Canelo will never fight Benavidez. He will retire first. He would get absolutely beat down, it could retire him. He'd have a punchers chance in the first few rounds, then his gas tank would start emptying and Benavidez would maul him. That is why he won't fight Benavidez, he knows this. He'd have to one punch KO David fast, and that is highly unlikely.

Race debate with boxing is dumb. The sport is dominated by black dudes and hispanics. All just people. Seems a silly argument. People don't think Bud can do it because that is a huge jump.

I respect Crawford a lot, but I don't wanna see a 147-pounder fight a 168-pounder.

You hit the nail on the head

[Toprope]

Any of the useless ABC Orgs going to order Crawford to defend his titles? Is he just going to keep those belts in his display cabinet or what? If he's not defending them why not just drop them and let others fight for them?

What's the real reason why you acting like Crawford is the only fighter who isn't ordered to defend his titles who became undisputed 3 mos. ago, and who the f is going to beat him at 147...when Crawford holds onto undisputed for 2 years like Canelo who only mandatory defended 168 once since November 2021 against Ryder this past May after no mandatory defenses for 18 months, then people can bytch. Following the Canelo blueprint, why don't you want Crawford to go up to 154 like Canelo went up to 175, got smacked, then back to 168 or it won't be a rematch but how about Josh Taylor former undisputed at 140 move up to 147 like GGG went to 168 to rematch Canelo. I'm asking everyone what's the hell real reason Tomhawq hating on Crawford?

[buddyr]

Crawford isn't fighting Canelo. He's doing what Tank did to him. Throwing his name out there to remain relevant. He knows Canelo dominates and stops him brutally. Everyone knows this except Crawford's dumb azz fans. And before any of you claim I'm a spence fan, I said years ago that Canelo ***s him up too when the dumb idea of facing Canelo at 160 was taked about. Spence never had the tools to beat Canelo

[Curtis2]

The winner of Benavidez/Andrade should be next for Canelo. That is the fight that most know would be the most competitive and the one with more significance.

We know Canelo ain’t taking either fight… why? He knows he can’t win vs either fighter..Canelo is a should’a could’a , would’a type individual

[garfios]

he's just saying that because he wants a shot at canelo himself!!!

That, and he is speaking the truth too.

[MulaKO]

And he got soundly destroyed. And realized where he needs to be fighting. Which is where he just fought.



The difference between Canelo and Crawford is the # of asses in the seats. The more asses you can put in the seats, the more you can get away with circus fights. Which is why you just got done seeing Tyson Fury damn near lose to a rookie and why Floyd Mayweather can basically fight anyone he feels like fighting and pull minimum eight figures every time.




Apparently you forgot that Floyd dropped minimum six rounds to Conor McGregor.

Hahahaha
May carried Conor for more than six rounds you mean
Or until he was his wager , is the better way of putting it

[IceTrayDaGang]

That, and he is speaking the truth too.

so you are saying if we flip the script and let's say benavidez is the top guy right now and not canelo and TC is calling him out to fight at 168, you are saying he will turn down a mega pay day just because he's a 168lbs fighter? i dont think so!! he's only saying this because he wants to put pressure on canelo to fight him. he's saying this to try and throw shade at canelo if he choose to fight TC.
