Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford More Talented, Dedicated Than Broner

[hitking]

Not in comparison to Broner, it isn't. At least Crawford isn't being touted as being among the absolute best in the sport like Broner is. He hasn't had everything handed to him on a silver platter like that goofball has had, either.




Besides: talent isn't he same as resume.

Broner doesn't have anything to do with how he's "touted." All he does is goes out there and fights the guys they tell him to fight, just like Crawford. How he's "touted" by the boxing world falls in the laps in the power's that be and should be held against him.

I dont have a dog in this fight, but you gotta like when dudes post video evidence to prove their point.

Oh its bob opening up his mouth about another fighter from another promotioin company..Next thing you know broner is ducking crawford and all kinds of ****

[SoulByThePound]

Still though why did he feel he needed to compare those 2 and not crawford with anyone else? Such as keith thurman

I don't think much of him either, solid pro and that's all. He was considered the #1 lightweight though, and I won't take that away from Broner in retrospect. Still would have liked to see Broner fight Vazquez or Abril.

Vazquez pulled out of a fight with Burns in March of this year! While Abril had a tough fight shortly before that!! Was Broner supposed to wait for these dudes??

If Vazquez is so good where is he at anyways? I haven't heard shyt from him since the Burns debacle. arum knows Golden Boy is taking over and is trying to stay relevant by constantly bringing up their fighters. First it was "Canelo" is a free agent. Now it is
Crawford will beat and out work Broner." If this is true put your money where your mouth is and reach out to Golden Boy and try to make the fight happen!

arum knows people hate on Broner so he is using this as fuel to give his guy recognition. Broner is fighting Maidana on PPV moving up in the boxing world... And if this fight were to take place (Which it wouldn't for obvious reasons) Broner still wouldn't get his credit.

Danny whooped Lucas when everybody said he was "Scared" to fight him and swolled that mans eye up. And all haters could say was "Low blow" I didn't know low blows could make your eye swol. lol...

With that being said Broner and his team should laugh at this remark and focus on Dec 14th.

He kinda does have a lot to do with how he's touted. His tacky and relentless self-promotion has put him on the same level (as far as press and media coverage is concerned) as other boxers who are considerably more proven and more accomplished than he is.



Sure as hell wasn't his performance against Ponce De Leon that made people take note two and a half years ago.

So what is he supposed to do? Not maximize his earning potential to satisfy a couple tight ass couch potatoes that wouldn't piss on him if he's on fire when he's outta the sport and has absolutely ZERO chance to earn the amount of money he can earn as a fighter? I'd say no.

As for his perfoprmance against Ponce. Yeah, he had a tough night in a huge step up as a prospect. But personally, I took notice of him after destroying a Litzua, who had just beaten Caballero. And I bought into him as legit after moving up and completely dismantling what most felt was the best lightweight in the world going into the fight. And I wasn't nearly as put off by him not ending Malignaggi's life in the ring considering that he's a guy that probably should be cleaning out the lightweight division. Yet, he's fighting two divisions north of where he should and taking on legit contenders in the division. But that's just me. And I probably have thaty objective view because I don't despise Broner as a person like most. Even though none of us know him personally.

[mathed]

but i bet arum won't put crawford in there to get his ass whoopped

Get Broner to drop back to 130 and Crawford puts him to sleep.

Why in the hell would a current welterweight and a current lightweight fight at 130?

[hitking]

People kill me always bringing up the Ponce fight to **** on Broner. Go back and watch a young Floyd Mayweather fight an Emmanual Augustus, who entered that fight with probably 20 loses. No way in hell would you believe Floyd was gonna end up the best fighter of his era and one of the greatest defensive fighters in history with the way he was repeatedly tagged by Augustus. Guys have unexpectedly tough fights all the time. Hell, Floyd was a lineal champ when that fight happen. Broner fought Ponce as an untested prospect.
