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

[Oldskoolg]

I’d expect nothing less from Hearn. He’ll praise the British mediocrity he promotes, significantly overrates guys like AJ, Benn, Callum smith, etc. And guarantee me if Crawford was from England, his entire view would be different. The reality is, England has never produced a boxer as good as Crawford

Love your posts, mate. Most Americans are afraid to tell it like it is out of fear of offending the perpetually offended and those with cultural low self esteem. Your posts show you don’t give a damn. TRULY politically incorrect

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

What’s his amateur record?

Lol why some folks hyping up madrimov like hes some sort of world beater or something, the guy is 10-0 and his best win to date is kurbanov whos isnt really anything special himself, it should be an easy win for Bud even tho hes making his 154 debut. pump those breaks a little fanboys.

Fast Eddie is somewhat right, to an extent. This is indeed a dangerous fight for Bud, being his first fight at 154, he's facing a much bigger and stronger guy.

But the lack of experience with only 10 fights for Mad is the most concerning thing going into this fight.

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.

Crawford is 5 or 6 years older, so he had more time to accomplish more earlier in time. Inuoe has accomplish more at an earlier age. I do believe Crawford is a better boxer skill wise, but Inuoe has just been more active recently.

Because bud fanboys need him to be “the best” to justify him never having ever defended any of his undisputed titles even once lol.

How convenient that 154 is too much for Crawford , Eddie just so happens to have a 147 lb fighter just dying to fight him. I'm sure that Crawford is touched by your concern for his health and welfare Ed. Even I'm touched by this altruistic humanitarian gesture. What a guy , a regular Saint .

If only Eddie could see himself with our eyes , he'd see just how transparent he is. I can't blame the guy , he's a promoter , trying to make money for himself and his fighter. Crawford vs Boosennis is a huge fight , at least for boxing fans. I don't know how it plays with normal people.

It is true that you sometimes can go a division too high, might not be a problem for crawford but it's what makes this interesting to me at least, he's not fighting a mug either.

I'm expecting a good fight either way.

He might not be a mug , but he only has ten professional fights. I don't think that is going to benefit Madrimov . I hope that it is a good fight. We can always use more of those.

Madrimov has huge power?

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.

That's just the state of boxing today! Errol Spence was 190 b4 Crawford, and he paid for it! The weight cut strategy is part of the game! Ryan Garcia is calling out 154 fighters because he's their size. Devin Haney was putting on 20-25lbs. overnight! Vergil Ortiz Jr. nearly killed himself trying to make 147! Who knows what Canelo will be in the ring when he faces Crawford? Easily 185+
