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

Francis beating Tyson fury would've been bigger win than TC beating Nelo.
Go for it bud, if you think you can do it. Francis thought he could, when.nobody thought he could.

It this s.hit happens, I will not blame Canelo, because crazy Crawford fans want this fight. I want to see no excuses after Crawford gets destroyed.

You guys actually believe Crawford walks around about 180, lol. So he is as big as Bivol., lol.

I'm neither a crazy Crawford fan or hater, nor a crazy Canelo fan or hater, but I think I can just envision the board after the event when Crawford inevitably gets destroyed by Canelo:

Canelo fans "Of course Canelo wins, everyone with any sense of brain could've seen it from 100 miles away except those crazy Crawford fans lol"
Canelo haters "Of course Canelo and his fans are acting like he's accomplished anything by beating a guy from THREE divisions below and continues to ignore the fact that Canelo is still ducking Benavidez because he is too scared to face him."
Crawford fans "He went up three divisions to face the undisputed champ. He chased legacy and history over saving his zero"
Crawford haters "Everyone with a brain knew Crawford would get destroyed except Crawford fans hahaha. He just wanted the paycheck and didn't want to face Boots to lose his belts at 147, so decided to agree to the circus. Just retire already"
Non-hater/fan "Dude, no one cared for this worthless exhibition. At least I hope this opens up some of the belts that Crawford has been hogging to give some activity in welter. Crawford should fight Tszyu for 154 before he retires to get his 4th division title."

And truly great fighters do great things, IF TC believes he can win that fight who is a fan to say he shouldn't try, the same fans that said Jones is crazy going to HW, this isn't the big guy calling out the little guy it's the other way around and its not about money, if Crawford wants to shoot for that defining fight I,ll pay to see it.

Yea, I agree that great fighters try to do great things, but Jones taking on Ruiz is the same as Crawford taking on Canelo. Aside from the size advantage, Ruiz was an average, limited HW who overachieved, was the weak link of champions at the time that was tailor-made for Jones god-given abilities. But HWs are always a danger bc all it takes is one shot from them. Canelo is a much bigger man, a master boxer and an all-time great. As great as Crawford is, he will hafta a near-perfect fight to stay in there with Canelo and hope to avoid every big shot coming his way. The comparisons aren't totally different, yet far from the same. Would still watch it due the the intrigue of the matchup.
