Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford Will Be at Level of Mayweather, Pacquiao

[ShoulderRoll]

Crawford for sure has the skills to be a top P4P guy. I hope he keeps improving and gets even better than he already is.

Only a matter of time until bob says Crawford is the best fighter he's seen since ali

Exactly ! Crawford just watched the fight go by until round 6 . I had Crawford losing EVERY round up until the KO . I wish someone can explain to me how the heck , after watching round 5 , can the commentator part his lips to say that it was a close round but he gave it to Crawford ?????????????? I truly don't think Crawford landed ONE punch that round. Boxing is so dirty ! When u have fighters who are being pushed as the next superstar and are backed by powerful promoters , it's almost impossible to get a decision against them even if u clearly win . Kudos to Crawford for stopping his opponent , but what's gonna happen when he faces another very busy fighter who's chin will hold up 12 rounds , like Mikey Garcia ? Will the promotional impetus bail him out if it goes 12 , because Garcia doesn't wait , he puts in work every round . The jury is still out on this guy in my opinion as he seems to rely too much on his power instead of utilizing a healthy work rate each round . Why are so many on here already have him benchmarked as the next king ? PLEASE ADVISE !

One thing I always give credit to the old man for, NOBODY build Superstars from the Ground Up like Bob Arum! Credit to Crawford as well who wanted the Prescott fight on short notice which started the BUZZ he has now. Also Crawford took a paycut vs Gamboa to fight in a bigger Arena in Nebraska and sure enough Omaha showed up and supported him big time. So while I respect Arum and I think he is the greatest Boxing Promoter Ever, a lot of it was Crawford stepping up and being fearless!

Top Rank I think have 2 Young Future Superstars in Crawford as well as Felix Verdejo! I look forward to the next generation of talent, I think it will be more talent overall from ALL OVER THE WORLD!

Lomachenko is better than both

Floyd is an all-time great so that my be a bit much to say right now but he does have potential...once he steps up his competition maybe in a few years he can be on Manny level. But for Floyd's level that's a whole other conversation

Manny is an ATG too, nobody at WW can beat either one of them, AND they are still doing it at an age that all former greats were just a shell of themselves. No need to disparage Pac to praise Floyd, or vice versa. Both of them are VERY special fighters.

I think Crawford seems like a KO artist to casuals, but in reality, he's not. Once he fights more fighters and his KO's start to lack, his fan base will die out and just end up like another Rigo. Very talented but lack of a strong loyal fan base.
