Comments Thread For: Crawford On Ennis Being Elevated: "It Seems Like Everybody's Cool With Being Email Champs"

[factsarenice]

In context.... Crawford was blunt and respectful about the IBF indecent. Prior to Spence /Crawford the IBF made plans within plans. I never thought of the IBF as the most corrupt but after 2 months? Every weigh-class has an opening in either the #1 or #2 spot and sometimes both. They always seem to just slide someone in, no eliminator, just slide them in. Can't help but wonder how much that must cost.

Boots should just move on and defend his email belt to someone's else not named crawford, Bud already has ESJ rematch pending along with both Tim and Charlo awaiting form him at 154. Oh yeah TC has better options than boots no one can deny that.

Ok then he should relinquish the belts and move up - simple as. You can't have your cake and eat it.

Crawford needs to be reminded that Ennis did not choose to be an email champion and was the IBF's decision to elevate him as one.

Elevated via e-mail simple and plain

Will there ever be any article about the Spence/Crawford rematch? It appears both fighters don't care if it happens or not. Spence hasn't come out, the guy who is supposed to be clamoring for it.

He doesn’t want the fight, call it anything you want but that is the fact

Those were your words. "Fanboys trying to justify ducks" so yea you won't stand on it no need to continue dialog

[Nightfall]

I already can hear the chant at Boots next fight. Elevated elevated elevated elevated!!!!

Stand on what? I said you can call it anything you want, but does Crawford want to fight Boots?

No he doesn’t, smart business move, career strategy, or a duck, it’s all the same no matter what you call it

And you called me a casual

And do I personally believe it’s a duck?

Yes I do, in the same sense that Canelo will duck Benavidez

[Smash]

email champ is better than a normal champ as u have scared the previous champ away

sorry, smart business decision

[JakeTheBoxer]

Why would the P4P # 1 boxer on the planet fight

because they are in the same division.

You would probably prefer to watch Crawford lose to Canelo?

[Rayzah]

It is a no win situation for Crawford because if he beats Boots, what will he gain. And you and every other casual will Boots was youn and hadn't fought anybody. He definitely hasn't fought any Top 10 WWs in any sanctioning body. So 2fast2strong you tell me why Bud should fight a guy with 30plus wins against not 1 Top 10 WWs and not one Title fight?

It's a competitive sport and when u win there is another fighter to fight. It's not an end all when u beat the top guy in the division, now you defend it. You got your chance, so now you ice the game and take your ball home? No! why should he fight him? He has a belt. Not 1 top 10 WW win. Ok, it should be a easy fight then. Easy money whoop him and move on to the next challenge.
