Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford wins Israil Madrimov fight but likely loses shot at Canelo Alvarez

[Poopdick]

Canelo whoops both madrimov and TC o the same night ,watchu talking there now Willis!? Lol ,folkes need to forget abouth that one Bud has nothing for Canelo, ginger would eat those punches like breakfast and make Bud pay for it. Cut it out fellas. TC needs to stay and unify 154.

yeah he wouldn't hurt Canelo. but Canelo will get outwork and then gas and get blown away. yes I would love see him fight fundora, Ortiz, Tsyu, etc etc. they would be very fun fights

Some writer at this site considers Crawford an ATG. Can anyone tell me who he has fought for that writer to put him in that stratosphere? ATG at 147- 160 are Hearns, SRL, Hagler, Mayweather, DLH, Duran. How on earth can you compare Crawford’s resume to any of those fighters is crazy.

Crawford is a very good fighter indeed, but definitely has accomplished nothing that merits ATG status. Madrimov, gave Crawford all he can handle. Canelo, whit his diminishing skills would put a hurt on Bud.

If Boots would work on his defense and stop staying in the pocket and stop admiring his work, that would be a sure 50/50 fight. Can someone please explain that to Turkie so he can spend his money on Canelo v Benevidez please.

Bud has so many haters, I still don't really understand why.

Tough ass fight for both guys. Both brought very difficult but different skillsets, and as happens in boxing sometimes at the highest levels, they managed to handcuff each others offense for long stretches.
Tough to score, any wide scoring margins says more about the scorer than the fighter.

Big respect to both guys, I hope and expect Madrimov to get some more big opportunities, 154 is about to be a very hot division and you can see he is just getting started.

"Bud has so many haters, I still don't really understand why." I know this might seem a bit crazy, but maybe because he was not a PBC fighter. A lot of posters on this site care more about who promotes or represents a fighter than they care about the sport itself.

Bud just fought HOF and future ATG Madrimov

[BrankoB]

Crawfish got EXPOSED tonight by a guy with 10 pro fights! Turki is surely rethinking moving ahead with bud after the place was booing and completely turned off by his lack of effort. Not to mention bud has zero personality, forget Canelo, no one believes he would have any shot after tonight say "bye-bye" to that payday....

He got exposed because he had a tough fight? Did Floyd get exposed because he struggled in the first Castllo fight or because he struggled with Maidana and Oscar? I can't believe there are so many haters for no apparent reason.

He had a tough night. Let's not diminish his achievements

Historically speaking, consistent top 3 p4p fighters usually go down as ATGs

[boxing IQ]

No 1 p4p in his dreams lol. Inoue wins fights by domination and KOs. Inoue beat 15 champs and won 22 title fights all in only 27 fights. Crawford beat 10 champs and won 19 title fights in 41 fights. Crawford lost more rounds in 1 fight then inoue did in his entire career. Crawford is overrated while inoue is the true no 1.

You at it again, groupie?

Inoue wins fights by domination and KOs

Soo, that hasn't been Bud's MO up until last night? Bud's longest KO streak is 11, Inoue's is 8. How many of those fighters that he KO'd were p4p? Better yet, how many can the average fight fan name? Lol

Inoue beat 15 champs and won 22 title fights all in only 27 fights. Crawford beat 10 champs and won 19 title fights in 41 fights.

You forgot to mention the part where he skipped a whole division of Estrada-Gonzalez-Rungvisai-Cuadras without fighting any of them. Surely, they were champions at the time, no? Why are they not on this list? Bud never skipped anything but breakfast to train

Crawford lost more rounds in 1 fight then Inoue did in his entire career

Lol wow. Bud lost 5-6 rounds, but according to you, Inoue hasn't lost that many with Taguchi, Donaire, Nery, or the other 23 opponents? Unrelated question, but where did you go to school?

From your username to randomly popping up knight and shield, you have an unhealthy relationship with Inoue. Because if you really think Bud's a fraud over one bad night at the office, YDKSAB

[IceTrayDaGang]

I was one of the few on here that was pushing for a TC vs canelo fight... I really did believe TC has a shot at beating canelo but after last night's performance, I am not so sure anymore... maybe TC should stay away from the thought of fighting canelo at 168.

[JOITATS]

Has Inoue ever even faced anyone as good as Madrimov? He’s going to duck Akhmadaliev for f-ck’s sake.

All of a sudden Madrimov is this P4P top elite fighter? LOL
hilarious.

Tapales already beat MJ convincingly for the belt. And Inoue beat the piss out of Tapales for the belt. It wasnt even close.
You’re gonna complain about Inoue not fighting a non-belt holder in MJ? but not say anything about Bud avoiding the #1 belt holder in his own division, Ennis? You make zero sense.

Crawford is finally revealed to be completely overhyped by fanboys like you. And I expect a barrage of excuses like Bud is too old. Bud overestimated his own skill vs a good but not elite fighter in Madrimov, plain and simple.

Wait, how many HOFs has Bud beat? none ok.

yeah he wouldn't hurt Canelo. but Canelo will get outwork and then gas and get blown away. yes I would love see him fight fundora, Ortiz, Tsyu, etc etc. they would be very fun fights

canelo get outwork by TC???
