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

[Ringlife]

I understand why Arum would say something like this, because Crawford is his fighter and Arum is just being a promoter. I think Arum comment is a little over board. Top Rank is good at making their fighters into stars. Let Crawford beat some of the top guys at 140 like a Swift,Matthysse or a Peterson if he beats two names out of these three and moves upto 147 and makes noise their I still don't think he will be at Pac or May level to be honest.

Arum looked so damn happy in that post fight interview lol. Top Rank lives on.

Yep Arums gonna be pumping Crawford real hard.

You can expect to hear lots of..... "hes the best since Mayweather" talk.

Cold war is over. They can deal with Golden Boy

Ugh uuuh, have you checked Golden Boy's stable lately?...the only thing they have for Terence is Lucas and i doubt Oscar wants to make that fight right away.


I hope Arum and Al Haymon can work together to stage fights like Crawford/Garcia and Crawford/Broner.

I like this Bud kid a lot.

Uncle Bob planting the PAC-Crawford seeds already

Win or lose Arum is feeding an old shot out of prime two loss Pac to Crawford at 140. Cash one out, cash one in.

So will he fight the top of the division. Guys like Matthysse? I have my doubts Arum.

Well there are already talks of him fighting Pac soon? I am probably one of the few who has no problem with this. I think it would be an awesome match.

Well see what Arum says when Crawford jumps ship to Haymon

[Prime 407]

I think Arum is right in the sense that Crawford has elite level skills however he doesn't have the charisma of Floyd or Pac to truly be superstar level.

I bet Bob was waving a contract extension in Crawfords face as soon as he entered the ring. Bobs a lucky SOB, as long as Crawford gets his fair share and Bob doesnt short change him or rip him off, Crawford looks to make Bob a pretty penny. Its coming though, Bob will be Bob and Crawford will inevitably leave Top Rank.

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!
