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

[Combat Talk Radio]

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

Point is, people pay in droves to see Mayweather. They pay in droves for see Canelo.

Crawford barely moves a needle even against stars.

Only boxing cultists (marks) are talking about a circus mismatch with him and Canelo. Real fans want Crawford to defend against a mando or rematch Spence. Anything else is ducking.

Damn
You still having doubts & or hating on Terrence Crawford?
I remember
You predicted the twice-car-wrecked Spence to beat Crawford
Hey he might surprise you again
Lololololol

It's not hate, it's my opinion of the obvious. And yeah, I did predict that Spence would win a close decision against Crawford. Before that, I originally thought Errol was damaged from the first wreck, but I thought maybe he was ok after he beat DAG and Ugas. But there's a funny thing about brain damage, it's cumulative. That second wreck may have pushed Spence's brain damage over the edge. As for Crawford vs Alvarez? Ther's an old saying; a good big man beats a good little man every time.

How is 147 small

he must drain at least 15 pounds

So he can fight Canelo at 147. If you say Canelo and him are the same size. or not?

I must be a cultist because I'd like to see him move up to 154 and fight Mell or Tszyu. Don't care about a Spence rematch, don't want to see him in the ring with Canelo, and none of the up and comers at 147 are really worthy. Boots is the best of the lot, and if he really wanted the fight, I'd have liked to see him be way more active and build his name. Even if it's more Karen's, he needs to be way more active. Not impressed with how his career has been managed.

Alright
You are entitled to your own opinion which i will respect
In my opinion
I think Bud would perform well against Canelo
Btw
You didn't predict Spence by close decision You had Spence to knock out Bud & you ate those afterwards
Lol

Wow, you're right, I think I did predict a KO by Spence. You got me there, bro!
Bud might perform well against Canelo, but I think Red would figure him out and beat him handily. Note, I wouldn't be so quick to predict a KO of bud next time.

As good as Crawford is, people who think that the size difference won't be a factor, don't know sh** about boxing...

Of course size is a factor, but it's more of a legit fight than a novice boxer beating heavyweight champ and look what happened there

[garfios]

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.

Of course not. Money first legacy second. The problem I have with people like that is, they know they have all the advantages, they know the risk is minimal, and after doing what they supposed to do and sometimes less of that, they're proclaiming themselves the best that ever laced a pair of gloves. Just stfu, and move on to the next whoever you're going to fight. When Crawford fought Gamboa, he told him that it wasn't a good idea to come from 126 to challenge him at 135, he won the fight but never say he was the best that ever was.

That’s why there are contracts put in place
Spence has made his request for the rematch and it has to happen or Bud will lose money
This is all hogwash talk and certain people are eating this chit up
Yes your right , Bud doesn’t put azzes in the seats but this fight with Spence will only make money with Bud fighting in it and making a big chunk of coin
He did not bad in the first one , now everyone wants Spence to come back and win ( I can’t see that happening ) the fight is gonna be big although many , like myself , think the outcome will be a quicker ko
Tell you what though , Bud will fill arenas after this fight but still need some better PR guys to sell his story how humble he is and all the good he does in the streets
He’ll be a somewhat household name for the end of his career

[Roadblock]

Crawford-Canelo is only appealing due to name value. At the end of the day, size matters. Can only move up in weight so much before the size disadvantage outweigh the level of skill of a fighter.

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.
