"Sean was 100% correct about the Black American fighter usually being the best in the world despite a push to elevate others"

now where have i heard this stuff before i wonder

[Smash]

yeah bud crawford had a big win but hes been very very inactive for quite a while & u want to give him top p4p status fair enough but 'pushing' others like usyk or the japanese is not some sort of conspiracy going on, its legitimate stuff lol

Terence Crawford didn’t get his superfights until most fighters start to slip physically. Crawford was 35 when he fought Spence and 37

bud crawford stuck and resigned with arum and stuck with him and eventually sued the guy lol, he made his own bed and did it exactly how he wanted it, there was no system or anything holding him back at all

"In one city you make 80k/year but they shoot at police officers and it’s a really tough place to work. In the other city crime is low and you make 100k/year. Which one would you choose? I think you would choose the one where you make 100k/year with less danger"

shoulda put the pay higher for the dangerous city

"Wait it out, drive the demand up, then fight the specific killer"

yeah the big problem is the opponent is no longer a killer anymore lol

its a TERRIBLE idea to suggest to anyone but thats exactly what guys who do this want, to not fight the killer but just to fight the 'name'

one of the main reasons why boxing is the way it is i think

[Smash]

its quite amazing how much andre ward actually gets elevated

i mean maybe people should be giving out about that one lol

Ah,so bread has gone full and open racist. If what he said is remotely true then where's all the fba champions ? Just look at all the rankings. Boxing is truly international now.The fba dominance is in the past.And it will never come back to the level where fba`s did dominate.

What’s racist about what he wrote? Is there anything inaccurate about what he said? Were those fighters that he mentioned not considered the best during the time frames he referenced? Are you one of the same ones who called him racist for picking Crawford to beat Canelo? Just because he makes accurate statements that hurt the feelings of sensitive fan boys doesn’t make him racist.

Bob Arum criticised Crawford because he wouldn't self promote to any great extent. Crawford didn't get the best fights because a/ he was other side of the tracks and b/ he was high risk low reward. This happens to many fighters from around the world - Golovkin didn't get his mega fight - Canelo 1 - until he was 35. Murtazaliev is being avoided. Andy Cruz has only now got a mandatory title fight. Opetaiaa can't get a fight with Gilberto Ramirez to unify.
When you look at the way boxing has been the UFC model looks attractive.
