Comments Thread For: Sebastian Fundora and Terence Crawford given 10 more days to agree deal

Crazy idea from TC team fighting the Tower Inferno high risk low reward fight Fundora in your face landing punches all night.

High risk? That's not what people say. They say it's an easy fight for TC. Go on Youtube and they're proudly saying weeks ago that Fundora is ducking TC. I'm assuming they're delighted to see this fight happening.

I read some of these comments about Terence Crawford and mind boggles. Why so much hate? What has he done? Perhaps he has beaten a few of their favorite fighters and people are upset? Perhaps people were forecasting him to loose to their favorite fighter and he beat them and look their pre fight tips look bad on the forum? Difficult to understand.

Outside of the ring he is softly spoken and respectful. Inside the ring he is clearly one of the very few boxers alive - his achievements are difficult to dispute. The only thing that he can be accused of is that he has a bland personality and is boring. The last one I understand but I cannot see that as a good reason for so much negative emotion which then leads to completely silly comments on this forum that are not even worth responding to.

He did as recently as 2019. A lot of boxers saw their activity level drop in 2020 for some reason, and many haven't really increased it. Spence, for instance, has had 3 fights since 2019, compared to 5 for Bud. Demetrius Andrade has also only had 5 fights in that time frame. Benavidez only 7. Artur Beterbiev only 5. Callum Smith only 4. Tyson Fury 6. Bivol 6. Gallo Estrada 5. Tank Davis 7. Mario Barrios 7. Stephen Fulton 6. MJ Akhmadaliev 6. Jermall Charlo 3. Jermell Charlo 4. Usyk 5.

Canelo and Bam are the only guys on any P4P list who have 10 or more fights since 2019.

Yours is not a particularly meaningful or based perspective.

But he is older than he was back in 2019. He can maybe fight on 1st quarter of next year.

I know you're a pro fan and all, for as great as he is. He's not becoming undisputed bro.... liTeRAlLY.
Why's the whole world using this word out context? Started with teenage girls trying to emphasize their topic of discussion (incorrectly) now grown people spewing it out.

I used the word in the correct context. I described his actual actions in the literal sense.

Learn what words mean.

He's literally negotiating for a 3 belt unification right now. If the Fundora fight happens that's 3 belts. Do you think the WBA, WBC, or WBO would strip him while he waited to get Tszyu or Murtazaliev for the IBF? I doubt it.

Yes but he fights once a year by next year he'll be 38. It's too late for bud without losing. Unless he wants to fight twice a year now that he is 37.

It's two fights... Not that you ever credit Bud.

3 time undisputed lol good joke. Bud only fights once a year and he's already 37. He ain't getting no undisputed at 154. For Bud it's about retirement plan and he plans on selling his 0 to canelo.

First of all, I do not buy this "chasing Canelo for a retirement check" silliness people keep tossing around. Crawford has lived and fought in freaking Nebraska his entire life. (Ok, I exaggerate. He has fought outside his home state quite a bit lately. Work with me here, keyboard warriors.) One of the reasons he is so good in the ring is he is freaking intelligent in there. He is calm and adjusts with a killer instinct. Do people really think he has approached something as vitally important as his personal finances any other way? He has made multiple tens of millions of dollars, lives in a state with one of the lowest cost to live, and people think he needs MONEY? Nah, his great grandchildren will get the benefits of the Spence fight alone. I am sure Crawford would take the money for a Canelo fight with a grin, but needs it? Silly to argue that.

Secondly, has anyone seen a boxer at ease in his own skin as much as Crawford? He was saying out loud to everyone for years he did not care if he fought Spence as he was sure he was already a P4P great and first ballot Hall of Famer. He ain't chasing Canelo for ego. Again, he may take the challenge because of who he is as a boxer, but he is not worried about his legacy either.

I just do not know what Crawford wants, and probably only a few people honestly do. But if they asked for an extension to work out a fight, I will believe they are trying to work out a fight. I did not think this would happen, but it is not a bad fight. It is interesting. As Crawford does fight at least once a year, why not? What else works out before December that brings a better return for Crawford?

Ofcoure bud cares about money that's why he resigned with top rank so he could continue fighting bums for 7 figure guarantees at 147. Bud is done at the top level that madrimov fight showed everyone he is done and is thinking of retirement plan.
