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

[Fetta]

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!

Nah. Don King is the greatest

He's definitely better at 140 than he was at 135.


Can't wait to see if he can hang with the welterweights in a couple years.

I'd like to see him fight Provo or Postol next.

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.

Except.. hes kind of starting to showcase that he is, not by PURE power, but hes a finisher. Look at his record.. his KO % is increasing, and he boxed carefully against Prescott under the circumstances at the time, but now that we know what hes capable of, he could have very well stopped Prescott if he fought with the swagger he does now.


Look at his calves, he seems to have the IQ and patience of a poor mans Mayweather and calves of Pacquiao, thats how he generates whatever pop that he has. Once I noticed his calves, I knew he would be the type of fighter who probably isnt heavy handed, but can generate explosive power in an instant.

Crawford is the truth IMO.

Terrence looks great but its a long way to go yet .

Ummm NO. He has decent skills and can make the wieght thats all. Nothing special

[Koljack]

He would have lost to or got koed vs Gamboa if they were the same size

[mathed]

After pacquiao loses to mayweather. He can fight crawford or mathysse

Or...........after Floyd loses, he can retire for the third time.

Just another average Joe huh? Already a two division champ who brings in 15K fans routinely and he's just getting started. Name a guy at 140 who beats him if you don't mind.

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.

Thurman, Maidana, and Khan all beat Manny.
