Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol: Crawford Not Crazy For Wanting Canelo Fight, Terence Is World's Best Fighter

[jackblack008]

People getting ahead of themselves here. Let Crawford demonstrate he can take care of Tszyu or may that slow feet Janibek at 160 or Caleb Plant. A good fighter at higher weight class trumps s good fighter at lower weight class. Canelo is THREE weight classes higher. Its another matter if he's looking for a retirement payday

If fighters have cleaned up their division and then some , then maybe, Crawford hasn't. Three divisions up at top level is pretty ridiculous , just a money grab..Boots, Charlo or Tszyu, to start with

Beating the best fighters in the division is cleaning out the division. Crawford has done that. Charlo and Tszyu are not even in his weight class. So you're not even making sense with that.

Crawford is 35 and has accomplished enough in his career to look only for big money fights at this stage.

Canelo haters are too damn funny, throwing shade that the ginger only fights smaller dudes but at the same time they want Crawford to fight him Lol...predicting bud would get his hand raised on top Lol...but if TC takes an L ,ohh he was too small ,hes a welterweight its not fair lmao make up ur minds guys ,its one thing or the other.

Meh, Canelo - Crawford is a worse mismatch than Spence - Mikey. Crawford is too small. I am not even sure he beats Tszyju.

Has Crawford really cleaned out the division?

From the older guys, he didn't fight Thurman or Ugas, neither Danny nor Mikey Garcia. From the new batch, he hasn't fought anyone. Not Boots, not Vergil Ortiz Jr, or Stanionis, or any of the other newer guys like Crowley, Rocha, or even Barrios.

I don't really care that much, but it's pretty clear Ennis is his version of David Benavidez. If he wants to challenge himself, why not go for Tszyu, or see if Charlo wants the smoke? He's got a WBO title shot if he wants it, and likely could easily get one from WBC/A just by asking.

I think the Canelo fight is a mismatch, and I don't need to see another smaller guy come up and realize he made a mistake and fight a survival fight. Canelo has looked unimpressive lately, so maybe he'd have a chance, but that's a lose-lose fight for Canelo. I don't see him taking it ever. He would get zero credit for beating a guy coming up 3 divisions, and if he lost, he'd be done.

"When I stepped into a boxing gym, the first rule was to respect weight classes. But I don't know what [Crawford is] going to eat,” Bivol told BoxingScene.com in an interview. “He's the best fighter. Everything that he's planning, shouldn't look like it's crazy. If he's thinking about it, if he's talking about it, it means it's possible.”

When you're getting older you don't worry about what you're going to eat.
You gain weight automatically even when you're eating the same quantity of food.

That is a lie. You didnât have Bud at #1 for reasons other than boxing, as we all know, despite him being the consensus #1 p4p boxer on every list. Just as Spence was consensus top 5 p4p.

Of course people have Spence in the top 20. You have an agenda, you are dishonest, so you are blatantly lying that Spence losing to the #1 p4p boxer drops him that low.

No you canât. Bud earned the top spot. Now if you have boxing reasons for elevating Inoue, cool post them.

You are far too emotional whilst I'm always courteous and don't feel the need to insult, i just speak facts.
I've said before Buds not no1 pf p as he took 5 years to beat a man in only his 3rd division, whilst Inoue beat the 2 best in his 4th division in his first fights, and he's achieved just as much as bud in much less time, I can't be more succinct. Why not look at facts and not show bias towards a fighter?
Maybe Spence is top 20pfp, but he needs to prove it. Every weight class has a fighter or two as good as spence is. In heavyweight division, usyk, fury and Josh are better than spence is. At 175, bivo l and betrbiev are better than spence is. At 168 Nel o and Benavidez and even Jaime munguia are better than Spence. I could do that throughout divisions, and with 17 divisions if spence is a top 30 pfp that's ok for Spence

[JakeTheBoxer]

So you guys are suggesting that Crawford beats Canelo ,using his speed advantage.

Maybe you are overlooking the fact that fighting at 168 is not the same as fighting at 147. Crawford would be havier than ever, also slower.

As I have already stated, Crawford should probably go after Tszyu at 154 first, if he can take that power and if he can win, than he can cash out for Canelo.

[messi807]

If Usyk beats Fury...

True..

[messi807]

Fair is keeping the guy who was #1 p4p at #1 after he knocked out a consensus top 5 p4p opponent in the most anticipated fight of the year.

Bingo.
