Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: 154 pounds a step too far for Terence Crawford

[MulaKO]

If Crawford was any good, he would be fighting at 175. Guys here say he walks around at 180. They want him to fight Canelo.

I expect Crawford to not look as sharp as a year ago. He should have fought Jan-Feb. The activity is the key and at his advanced age he could look great one night and a year later not so much. I expect him to win however I don't expect the same cat as we saw last summer.

Blame that on punkass Spence and Haymon..

Depends who's he's fighting, the cherry pick he chose for this upcoming fight, is not a step to far, it's the same type of level guy Crawford has been picking all his career.

Cherry pick? Man choassup

The reason why he’s even saying anything is because they’re asking him the questions

You know this because? GTFOH know it all

Eddie Hearn keeps talking himself into a butt kicking by mentioning Crawford so much. Unfortunately, Madrimov is going to be the one taking it for Hearn.

I think Bud trying to keep up with Inoue by stepping up and immediately fighting a title holder. Im sure Bud can beat this man, but he might not look as good against him as he would if he had 5 years to prepare for him like he did with Spence. Usyk even didnt look great in his 1st fight at heavyweight and would have been massive underdog against Josh and Fury in 1st fight in the division and on the strength of his 1st fight in the division.
But thats no criticism of Bud, Usyk hasnt did quite exactly what Inoue has also is what im saying.

Crawfords first fight at 147 was a titleholder also. I would say he is following his own path rather than trying to keep up. The only thing Inoue has done first is 4 division champ. I agree with the rest, I am curious how good he will look at 154. Both Crawford and Inoue have looked dominant at every weight class they have been so far.

Eddie sure talks like he knows something even though he’s never broke a sweat in his life..

Oh he’s broken a sweat….polishing his Daddy Barry’s’ knob to get where he is!

He was an amateur boxer, he broke plenty of sweat. At least more than you

You probably have proof that amateur boxers sweat-

That is precisely why Terrence Crawford is challenging the 154 pound division. Crawford at this stage of his career, is aiming to take on challenges 'Where he is ether not the favourite to win in the universal perception of the boxing community. Or he is fighting another fighter who is also considered to be one of the best fighters skill for skill in the entire sport of boxing'.

Therefore? The calibre of fights, and challenges left for Terrence Crawford to pursue are to challenge fighters such as Canelo Alvarez or invade the 154 to 160 pound boxing divisions 'This is the level Terrence Crawford has reached in his career. If Crawford is to add to his resume, he has to be involved in those level of fights'.

If Eddie Hearn believes that fighting in the 154 pound division's is a step too far 'Then it is that perception, which makes Terrence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov a significant fight for Crawford'.

Note: Terrence Crawford resume below the 154 pound divisions, on a fight by fight basis 'Is not really on the level of Floyd Mayweather Junior's or Manny Pacquiao's resume in terms of the depth and level of the fighters which they fought. This is partly due to Mayweather Junior and Pacquiao competing during a era of boxing were? Their nearest competition was more formidable and having superior ability than Terrence Crawford's'.

But those are the past great fighters, who Terrence Crawford compares himself to and believes he should be mentioned along side.

To conclude: In order for Crawford to prove that he is worthy enough to sit at the same table of greatness as Floyd Mayweather Junior and Manny Pacquiao 'Then in my opinion he still needs greater feats of achievement on his resume, that is why he is fighting in the 154 pound division's'

Terrence Crawford could so easily just tick over, and improve his winning statistics 'By fighting opponent's from the 147 pound divisions. But to the contrary, he is pursuing even greater challenges' etc.
