Comments Thread For: Crawford Lashes Out at 'Haters': 'You Could Put Me In Any Weight Category ... I Would Still Dominate'

Let the fans be the judge of that , I've been with Bud slightly before the Burns fight around ten years ago ...and admired his ring craft , his defence is second to none , he only spoils it with his mouth sometimes.

“He only spoils it with his mouth” is the same excuse that Mayweather haters used to hate on him. No one watches boxing because they cling to every word a fighter says on Twitter. You’re looking for something to cling to that you can hate on.

All hot air. It's like someone in the special olympics saying, if I had all my faculties I'd be the actual Olympic gold medallist. Reality is, he's a small man and weight classes were created to allow little people to compete with each other because they're unable to compete with bigger people. The End.

There is something called pound for pound for pound and I'm sure you've used it. Don't pretend you don't know what Crawford is talking about.

I respect Buds accomplishments but hes sounding a bit arrogant lately ,I guess he has certain bragging rights but at any weightclass? Calm down a little TC. Lets see if he manages to keep same performance level at 154-160.

Its the basic criteria of the p4p imaginary rating. If he was any weight based on his skills he would be better than the rest is what being p4p best means. You probably already knew that though.

False narratives and excuses. Its amazing how little dignity y’all have.

What's false? What excuses?

What's amazing is people's inability to accept the truth.

They are mythical (read: imaginary) lists for good reason. Small men have to play amongst themselves because it is too dangerous for them to compete with bigger men, it's the very same reason we have women's boxing. A smaller man talking about what he would do if he was bigger is like a female boxer telling everybody what she would do if she was a man, all hot air.

A pound for pound debate is nothing like that at all. I don't know if you're truly that ****** or you just have an agenda.

He's a great boxer, arguably at the top of the mythical pound for pound list.

I do think Ennis also would've knocked out Spence, especially the version of Spence we saw.

Excuses excuses and shoulda coulda wouldas. I’ve never seen so mamy shameless people at once as I have Terence Crawford haters.

What you said was false and the excuses you made are excuses. It’s pretty plain and simple.

At least Crawford unified and fought the best fighters in his divisions. Something your hero Canelo doesn't have the balls to do.

Canelo unified too, dumbass.

And he fought the best fighter in the division above where he unified.

You really are no better than the Crawford haters and have a similar agenda.

Look i have said this before at the end of the day Crawford's resume is not that good and it's his own fault no one else's. When his first contract with top rank was up he decided to stick with Bob knowing top rank didn't have anything for him at WW it's the same song different fighter just like Pacquiao.

Also miss me with the PBC don't make fights argument as soon as Crawford signed a deal with PBC what happened he got Spence. It's his fault that he didn't get Danny Garcia when Garcia was undefeated, it's his fault he didn't get Shawn Porter when he was undefeated and he could have got Thurman also when he was one time and not once upon a Time. He could have also got Spence before the crash and squashed all this debate about the car crash and messed up eye crap.

At the end of the day it's his own fault for the decision he and his team have made. Now he's still looked at as as a great fighter with no real dance partner due to not making the right decisions.

Just imagine would we be having this conversation if Crawford moved up to 147 and took on Danny Garcia Shawn Porter Keith Thurman, Brook and Spence (not in the order) the answer is hell no...

that's how you shut the haters up and force them to give you, your props... or else what you have is well he beat Spence but he was in a car accident and his eye and well Spence stayed at 147 too long and (insert what ever excuse I missed).

To the Crawford fans that say oh there's always going to be excuses well again it's Crawfords fault for letting these excuses come up. In my scenario where he fought the top guys if he would have left top rank (which was a near 100% scenario if he signed with PBC) there would have been no definitive and legitimate way to make any viable excuse.

Had to go back and read your original comment because I didn’t remember what you said. The whole resume narrative is a false narrative that was ignorantly over used in the first place and ultimately proven false. Errol Spence ended up being a lesser opponent than a lot of his previous opponents. The resume narrative was debunked with that alone. And this is a narrative that was crafted by Errol Spence Jr. himself as an excuse to why he didn’t feel like he needed to fight Terence Crawford. Then a lot of YouTubers and PBC fans took it and ran with it. We all remember the infamous “smoke and mirrors” press conference. Thus false narratives and excuses.
