Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn considers Devin Haney's next fight crucial and doesn't believe Terence Crawford will box again

[Corelone]

Hearn always had it in for Bud, but in my mind, now is the time to give Eddy what he wants. Sign with Hearn for some Saudi lucre and a few more soft touches in riyahd. Shakur is getting the velvet spoon treatment.

If Crawford were to retire, I don't know what to make of his resume. I know he's undisputed a couple of times and I know he passes the eye ball test and many view him as an all time great (not me) but to only have one marquee name, Spence, on your resume, even with the demolition job he did on him is just not enough. He missed a lot of great fights at 147 'cos supposedly nobody wanted to fight him but 154 guys are itching to get at him. There are a lot of great fights at 154 to help his resume but whether he wants those tough fights is a different story. Even Madrimov that was suppose to be a soft touch ended up being a difficult fight.

Put the pipe away, please.. Spence a marquee name, soft touch with Madrimov.. what’s a couple times for undisputed?? You’re all Fcked up.. obviously educated through Tr**p University- Bud’s resume is 100% strong vs Spence’s resume-

Not that I agree with you, but I can definitely understand your perspective. You also have articulated yourself in a respectful, non hating manner.

I don't know why these guys are waiting for a certain amount of money to fight. Haney should have fought over the summer to get the stain of getting beaten up in the Garcia fight out of his psyche. At least Crawford fought more recently. I would like to see Crawford fight Boots then if the Canelo fight is available, take it. These so called top fighters are getting paid too much money these days. They have no motivation to fight frequently as they did in earlier days. Canelo is leading the charge by demanding ungodly amounts of money for these fights. $200 million to fight Benavidez. Totally absurd.

How old are you pls? Cos I can tell comprehension is clearly not your strong suite. And telling someone to put the pipe down when you are the one typing expletive laden content unprovoked suggest you may have some deep rooted issues, even worse than drugs. So pls get help.This is a boxing forum where people can express their opinions respectfully which is what I did. You don't agree, state your own perspective. Grown ups agree to disagree without throwing tantrums and no amount of cursing can change what I stated. It is my opinion.

I appreciate the grown up response unlike the other one. It is simply my opinion and it doesn't take away the fact that he is a great fighter which I recognized

i dont think it was so much that nobody wanted to fight him, it was more the fact that uncle bob was seriously overpaying him for C grade washed opposition just to spite the other promoters, mainly pbc. Bud was making way more vs the likes of khan and Brook then spence and Porter made fighting each other, and porter vs danny garcia, and they was world title & unification fights. Good competitive fights. Overall i think bud was always more about the financial gain of the sport then the glory as he was ready to walk away from negotiations and the sport itself if certain things werent conceded in the spence negotiations. Spence said himself in the build up that he made that fight happen.

I always wondered why he resigned with Arum even after openly saying Arum couldn't get him good fights so this actually made a lot of sense.

If Eddie Hearn believes that Crawford may not fight again, I have a bridge to sell him. I mean all Crawford is interested in as he and Shakur have said is, “the bag.”
Trust me, Crawford is no Barry Sanders. Eddie, can you possibly be that naive to fall for that nonsense?

Haney is fackin chit. He got facked up bad by Garcia regardless of what sweet little PHD they say he took, can’t see it being a massive factor at elite level. The dope doesn’t give you the skill, and Ryan’s skill and speed is what undone Haney with considerable ease. I’ve said allllllll along Haney is yanky over rated fodder for the elite and that fight proved it beyond doubt. He’s fringe at best, the Arabs control the game now so forget Wembley or the MGM MSG or wherever, they got the cash, so hopefully, that will entice all the other so called top tier, to come out and fight who we say fight.
