Comments Thread For: Roach: Crawford is Lying, Postol Would Never Turn Him Down

[-PBP-]

Yep, according to Top Rank it was Postol who didn't want to fight Crawford.

Notice how all the posters who hate black boxers came out of the woodwork to accuse them of being duckers, though? Pathetic.

I'll also note that Boxing Scene had an article the other day where it was claimed that insiders in Pacquiao's camp said Manny turned down the Crawford fight. Supposedly to spite Arum.

But these racists twist everything around and call Terence the ducker. They are sick individuals with a mental disorder.

Meh...let then live through their favorite fighters as therapy for their personal insecurities.

If anyone is ducking it's Crawford. He has avoided Postol once before. Plus Postol called him out right after the Matthysse fight, he definitely wants it. Crawford is probably trying to be the calculated AA like his brothers Ward and Mayweather "Yea but is he shot enough? Is he vulnerable at the moment?" etc.

Oh, what the ****?

Just make the damn fight! Heck I would love Crawford vs Provodnikov or Bradley vs Matthysse. Damn TR is doing the fans wrong smfh

Not according to Top Rank. They say it was Postol who didn't want it right now.

Crawford is the one being ducked. Just ask Manny Pacquiao, he turned down a fight with Terence in order to show Bob Arum who's boss.

Top rank is hiding Crawford then.

If I had a nickel for every time I have heard a fighter like Crawford say "the better fighter turned me down so I had to settle for fighting this journeyman", I would be a millionaire. Deontay wilder, amir khan, Keith Thurman, golovkin have been using this excuse their entire careers.now Crawford joins this exclusive club.

Crawford beat a top 5 126 pounder at 135 pounds who had no chin...and then has beaten no one else notable... biggest hype job in boxing...

Surprisingly he's fighting another soft-touch...I'll care about a Crawford fight when he actually fights someone with a pulse...

Manny was told that Bradley is the bigger name and would sell more PPVs and Arum wanted the Bradley fight the entire time... Crawford was just a smoke screen... Crawford is on the cherry-pick trail and would have gotten destroyed by Manny... he'll get exposed as soon as he fights anyone decent at the weight... he's fighting another bum as you know..

I don't think Postol is worth the risk; financially speaking. It's too much risk for not enough reward because Postol will be a tough fight for anyone at 140 and he lacks name recognition among casual fans.

Someone had to have pull that out their ass. Bradley and Crawford are both with Arum, makes no difference which one he fights. If he wanted to spite Arum he would have demanded Broner or Khan.
