Comments Thread For: Crawford Says Pacquiao, Provodnikov, Herrera All Rejected Him

Yea right! If so, then challenge Lomachenko to see if he's going to duck you. I bet there will be fireworks.

[BrometheusBob.]

Given how bad Provo and Herrera looked recently, Crawford would have demolished them.

Who's superstar?

"Pound for pound superstar"

He beat only one elite boxer (who was way too short for the division). Superstar? When? By beating C level boxer?

Risk vs. reward for established fighters. You're good TC but you don't have the name recognition yet thus wouldn't sell PPVs.

Being rejected doesn't mean they're scared of you, it just doesn't make financial sense to fight you. Now someone like Marquez avoiding Pac, that's a different story. That would do big PPV #s again.

Pacquiao is a welterweight an you just said you're in a division you can make comfortably.

Herrera? Why would you even want to fight him?

Provodnikov? Again, why would you want to fight him?

You're fighting a unification against the best in your weight class. Why are you even talking about Herrera, Provodnikov and Pacquiao?

It will be interesting to see how the tables turn in the future if he keeps winning. Fighters have turned him down on multiple occasions and there have been no accusations of ducking by the boxing public. We'll see if the boxing public is so understanding if Crawford turns down a fight in the future...I doubt it because people were already trying to him out as a duck until the Postol fight was made

He just out weights smaller guys, Gamboa w'd have ko'd him easy.

Not..sure...if...trolling...?

Paqciuao and Konzc wanted Broner. Arum said no. Roach wanted Crawford. Arum said no. The old man must insist on his ****** rematches, which he is known for. He's actually looking for the Rios vs Alvarado 4.

Loeffler should take a page out of Arum's playbook. Arum doesn't give a crap about trainers' and managers' opinions. In contrast, Sanchez decides everything for Golovkin. He's like he owns the guy.

[Ake-Dawg]

Not sure why folks are attacking Crawford. He simply lamented not getting fights with popular fighters. He didn't say he was ducked or that anyone was scared. He just said that those fighters chose not to fight him and left it up to the fans to have an opinion as to why. It also shows that even though he doesn't have great names on his resume, he is definitely willing to get in the ring with guys who can ****.

Crawford knows Arum lied.

Arum lies to the public and lies to his fighters. It was Arums decision not to put Crawford in with Pac. It sounds like Crawford knows he's been lied to. He'll be with Haymon soon enough, which is good. Arum was not about to risk Pac beating his stable ace especially with Pac retiring. That's a lose lose. Why should he when he can keep feeding the public these in-house reruns. So glad the last re-run bombed out. I hope he lost a bundle.
