Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Blasts IBF for Stripping Title from Terence Crawford

...come on man. Even Devin Haney has surpassed him in terms of star power at this point.

Come on man. Devin Hankey has as much star power as a used pair of socks. Got belts from Kambozo and needed a gift against an old Lomachenko. Crawford is P4P #1 and completely outclassed the other champion with claim to being the best.

And yet still can’t “sell out a family reunion “.

Crawford is bigger than the belts at this point.

Lmao he’s nowhere near that level. He ain’t canelo or Mayweather or Pacquiao, relax. Those guys actually kept fighting big names back to back. Crawford only has Errol Spence on his resume. The rest are uknown bums like David Avenesyan or old washed up ex champions like khan Brook and Porter

Promoter Oscar De La Hoya was incensed by the latest administrative fiat in boxing. The head of Golden Boy Promotions lashed out at the International Boxing Federation, one of four major sanctioning bodies in the sport, for deciding to strip undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford of his IBF belt earlier this week.

He's already undisputed. I said before dump the belts or you end up in a situation like Josh Taylor who stayed at 140 too long and got beat by guys 2 yrs earlier he would have wiped the floor with. No glory in an Ennis fight, just Spence fans on his bandwagon now. Fighting Tim for the WBO and a vacant belt possibly in Australia is huge.

Spence kept that belt hostage for 5 years and the IBF let it happen.

Crawford held it for 3 months and they strip him!

Keef and Danny would be on his resume if they were willing to add a stoppage on their boxrec. Bob saved Manny from him. Not his fault they were afraid. Shawn and Spence took the plunge.

I'm not exactly a fan of Crawford, Spence, or Ennis, but to be fair out of the three Spence certainly is the root cause of Boots not getting a legit chance actually prove he can win the belt. Of course some of it was due to outside causes (the car accident and eye and such), but he did waste time around with two tune up fights, fought Crawford, got DESTROYED, but then exercised an immediate rematch clause when everyone knows it will just be for money and no different in result. Should've just fought Ennis in one of his two tuneup, or not bothered with rematch then Crawford could've atleast fought Ennis first before going up, or atleast had the chance to officially ducked him and stripped by choice.

By the way, I've said it many times but might as well repeat it just because...the Crawford Spence rematch will be one of the biggest waste of a match and career opportunity for both. Crawford should've either fought Boots @147 or gone up to fight Tszyu @154 for his next match,

I doubt Crawford would even care.

Reads like the emotional outburst of an overgrown, semi-literate child.

As long as Ennis is a busy fighting champion, I welcome the change.
