Comments Thread For: Only Canelo Alvarez fight could bring Terence Crawford back into the ring, says Robert Garcia

[LarryMerchant'sBottle]

It'd actually be Bud bringing Canelo his biggest payday via Turki. That's how this goes. Notice spence and Crawford got their biggest payday fighting each other. So would Canelo and Bud if they fought. Canelo don't want smoke tho.

Turki hasn't offered S-hit! Now it's Ginger needing Bud to make bank? Spoken like a true fanboy... Since it is Bud with Turki that bings in the high paydays, why won't Turki guarantee Bud anything more than $4 million to fight one of the champs at 154??

Turki isn't offering American fighters the substantial amounts that you think he is offering fanboy.....

[LarryMerchant'sBottle]

I'm not missing the point at all, everyone says Bud wants a huge retirement payday but he not asking for 150 mil guaranteed upfront. He wants THE FIGHT and he'll take the pay from what it generates on the back end.

There is also no reason that he can't or won't fight the champs at 154. But its not like any of them are proven reignng champs with a name. Who at 154 gets Bud more credit than Canelo? He can beat Fondura and Murtazaliev and the haters will just say but what have they done besides beat a washed Tim Tszyu.

Canelo is the biggest money AND legacy fight. It makes sense Bud would pursue that first.

Missed this reply. I see what you mean.

Yes, he can beat them, but it still has to happen for him to actually beat them. Anything can happen up on that ring. He says he doesn't want to fight anymore unless it's Ginger. As a fan I'd rather see him use his skills one last time than to not fight at all....... The guy's great, he should treat his fans to at least one last fight regardless if it's Ginger or not. Personally, I'd like to see him duke it out with Ortiz Jr, I feel that would be an exciting fight and a great way to end his career....

If that's the case, he may as well go ahead and retire anyway. He's been so inactive for years that he might as well be retired. What a sad case of squandering exceptional talent and opportunity. Crawford will be forgotten relatively soon after retiring. He's going to be wishing that he had fought more when it's time to examine his legacy for the history books.

Blah. Blah, Blah, forgotten relatively soon aye ?

OK if things are so easy ?,
Let's see you get in the ring and let see you get punch in your head and face for 16/17 years yer.

People like you, quick to throw judgment yet never stepped in a Dojo or boxing ring in your life.

[Gary Coleman]

Nonsense, everything you wrote. He's been inactive largely because PBC been ducking and tryna play keep away wit belts. Why are we listening to Robert Garcia about Bud? Bud aint say nothing about retiring. Just remember that Canelo, the only other guy besides bud who has a claim to king of this era of boxing post floyd, was ducking Bud when you reflect on Bud legacy

Canelo can't duck someone 2 divisions below him. He's fought more dangerous opponents than Bud.

[Gary Coleman]

does floyd still think bud should fight benavidez lol

that was a weird one

Almost as weird as Turki and Bud trying to drag Benavidez down to 160.

[LarryMerchant'sBottle]

I understand the guy doesn't like Canelo, but Crawford just had his first fight at 154 in August. Nobody's ducking Bud at 154, let alone 168. Jeez.......

[ptek]

Enough of this, canelo should never give Crawford a retirement fight fund.

Your obviously and quite clearly a hater, and it's very easy to see, you and everyone else who liked or agreed with your post.

You people, aveing a right laugh talking about retirement fight fund. Lol

While totally ignoring the fact that it's Canelo demanding 150mill to fight Crawford.

Yer 150Mill coz he know his a.s.s. is cooked.
150mill because its a Mayweather 2.0 for his backside.

[ptek]

I think you're missing the point. Bud should fight the top competition at 154 instead of hoping for the Ginger fight, wouldn't you agree? Or do you think Bud should should just hold out for Ginger and not fight anyone else?

Crawford got nought else to prove.
his done it all , beaten them all.
It's his time now to call all the shots as he's earned it in that squared circle.

16/17 years of being punched in the face and head, and the man is undefeated.
What challenges have you done for 16/17 year ?
Let me know ?, I'm all ears .

Put some respect on that man's name.

[ptek]

So you would rather Bud not fight at all if he can't get the Ginger fight?? I'd love to see Bud unify 154 or at least fight Ortiz Jr. I think that'd be a great fight to see...

Those boys already had the chance , him and Ennis and they both jumped ship. Lol

And what's in it for Crawford ?

Nothing that's what.

I agree, he's got nothing to prove, I never said other wise.

You think Bud should not fight anymore? Cool! As a fan of his, I'd rather see him fight at least one more time before he calls it a night, but that's just me being selfish.

Has he earned the right to call the shots? Yes, he's the biggest name at 154, that's where he's at. He should earn more than any of the other fighters at that weight and call the shots against any other 154 pounders.

Put some respect on that man's name??? How so? by saying he's the best at 154? I certainly think so, at least on paper he is, but it would sure be awesome to see him prove it in the ring. I also thought Broner was better and more skilled than Maidana, but he didn't prove in the ring when they met. You're not better than the other man until you beat him in the ring otherwise it's just an assumption or a fantasy match.

I'd rather him fight one of the top fighters at 154, you'd rather he not fight at all. Cool!

What challenges have I overcome for 16/17 years??? Certainly nothing as challenging as any of the boxers that are talked about on this forum, but I'm just a regular Joe, not a top athlete. That is why I respect every fighter that risks his life for my entertainment. From the top ranked to the lowest ranked. You won't find any of my post disrespecting any fighter, I hate on no fighter nor I nuthug any fighter.
