Crawford beats everyone in pbc's 140-@47 division...

[The Problem Child]

If you take into consideration who his opponent was, and how dangerous he was at all times, I don't blame him. Hell, he knocked him down twice, when no one had ever done that.

At least he landed some legit shots on him, and looked to actually hurt him. He did move around the ring, but that was the smart, and appropriate thing to do in this situation.

Fights the legit #2 guy in the division when guys of his caliber are never fightinf their legit mandatories, lights his ass up, dominates every round from the 3rd on, and all you guys say is he's running. Bro, he put a master class performance on an A level boxer, and made it look damn easy in the process. I'll take it.

Is the guy allowed to fight a really smart fight, after all the dog fights he's given us?

After ALL the DOG FIGHTS he has given us ... against smaller BUMS!?!? Then when he fights a guy his size, he fights like a scared bish!!

LOOK there is boxing, which is what VALDEZ did in impressive fashion. THATS HOW you box.

THEN there is retreating and running from side to side WITHOUT THROWING a punch, just running and avoiding combat.

Dude, wtf is your agenda with Crawford? You're in every thread calling him names and a runner. If he was GGG's weight, he'd easily kick his plodding, can't fight off his back foot, ass.

Golovkin would kill Crawford.You feel confident bringing him up because you think they will never fight. Crawford weighed in at 157 tonight, guess what means dumb ***ing no **** about boxing ass. Bud is boiling his ass down to fight people he has the advantage over. Thats cool when your young but the years are going catch up to him. If you knew any ***ing thing about this game you would know as soon as he steps up you are going to see the holes in his game. If there was some mythical fight p4p division Crawford would get his shiet pushed in by Golovkin. He is just better than Crawford...period.

@140 probably yes, not at 147, Thurman, Brook and probably Spence would be favorites against him in my book. Would slso be interesting to see how he'd deal with Shawn Porter's style.

I think if Maidana was still fighting he'd beat Crawford too, and the Pacquiao we saw against Bradley III bears him in a close fight at 147.

pssh relax, it aint that serious just said he did run a bit. Good win for him.

However running is running at the end of the day and you can justify it for whatever reasons (hes hurt, he was in the lead, doesnt need to risk it, blah blah blah), fact is no one enjoys that shit. Not casuals, not purist, no one does, now saying that no one enjoys that or calling him out on it doenst mean we dont understand the reasons he did/doing it, its not rocket science.

For instance, sergio mora ran from one side of the ring to the other to get away from shane mosley and limit their exchanges. Crawford did the same thing for the same reasons. Its running no matter what the motive behind it is.

Good win for crawford even though technically on paper this win is a good w for him however the way he carried himself in the later rounds was oscar-trinidadish and max hit it on nail with saying "crawford is conceding he cant knockout postol so let me stick my tongue out and run around" and in a way that was a lil give/quit in crawford that I didnt like, some people call it smart but I came to see a fight, a boxing match not someone run out the clock.

How dangerous he was? You ****ting me? Im more dangerous than Postol. Bud could have taken Postol after the 6th round. I like Crawford and I hope he gets the good fights against the top YOUNG guys out there but a killer he aint. He will end up being one of these safety first mutha ***ers which is ok if they can put on a show. He showed tonight he is going be one of those boring ass mfers until he outgrows the division he is in and has to fight someone his size.

Man, you guys are funny. TC is would beat the **** out of a 140 or 147 lb. version of GGG.

You dont even believe that.

[CatchAndShoot]

You dont even believe that.

I do, and so do a ton of other people.

[jas]

No

But as per usual on nsb , fighter wins a fight and the days after he is the next coming of sugar ray robinson and leonard rolled into one

He has had the weight advantage in all his fights and gives away the early rounds

I cant see someone like spence being 3-0 up then not winning another 4 rounds in close rounds but winning them by being the aggresor of the 2

One or two maybe but they are ate up with cognitive bias like you are. Ive said it before and Ill say it here Im not in love with non of these mfers but you dont know shiet about boxing if you think their was ever a weight class or a world that Bud Crawford could beat Golovkin. If you truly think so would you be willing to tell me how he could beat Golovkin. I mean break it down tactically how crawford is going to keep Golovkin off of him. I understand there is a big majority of MFers on this board that hate Golovkin just because he is Golovkin. Im asking you to step outside these pea brain mfers and tell me how Crawford gets this done. Ill be anxiously awaiting you point by point break down.
