Comments Thread For: Going out on top: Terence "Bud" Crawford, five-division champ calls it a career

[SouthpawRight]

Well done Budman!

He's retiring on a big win. And apparently he's pretty well off financially with his property investments. And he seems to have all of his faculties about him. Why continue to fight? Hasn't he won like 14 different world titles in 5 weight divisions? And undisputed in 3 different weight divisions. There's not much more he can really do to cement his legacy. At this stage, I think pretty much everyone would have to rate him top 20 all time p4p. Right up there with the likes of Leonard, Robinson, Ali, Mayweather Jr., Pacquiao, etc.

The man has nothing left to prove in boxing. Hat's off to an amazing career.

Floyd and Sugar Leonard guard the gates of top 10 all time

Really great fighter, cong**** on retiring undefeated and after a big win.

Ok....if nobody else wants to say it...leave it to me.

Good riddance chump. Another Ward. Popped off weak links and past it champs. Looks great on paper...just dont look too deep.

Retiring after such a dull sparring session makes it look Nel took the L for 100M.

I think prime for prime he would have lost to Floyd and Pac but did we ever really see him at his best? He never had an opponent on his level truly to find out

Either way great career and went out on top

manny would get hurt by TBud

Old Small Juan was able to give manny a boxing lesson then clap him

As for Floyd Terence can be got with right hands and doesn’t do as well when the opp makes him come forward. See his sparring sessions with Timmeh

he’d be chasing and eating Floyd rights for it

Why would he rematch Nelo?

Was not anywhere near close enough to warrant a rematch. Canelo stayed competitive enough and he won a few rounds, but he lost CLEAN!

It was competitive at the start, but Crawford pulled away using his high skill and speed.

The most you can give Canelo, is like, 4 rds. And I feel I’m being generous in saying that.

why not? We don't know if bud is good in rematches? Don't do another floyd. Nel o should ask bud when he's willing to dance again

[Nightfall]

Nothing to prove and first ballot HOF, . So glad that he whooped clenelo's chicken @ss

[ShoulderRoll]

Right now his marketability is at its highest and he could cash in big with a Canelo rematch. I’m surprised he isn’t taking advantage of that and is walking away.

Thanks for the memories champ.
