Comments Thread For: DiBella Ready To Sit With Bob Arum To Make Crawford vs. Diaz

[yngwie]

Who? 8 kos in 18 fights? Make Thurman-Crawford, hell even Broner-Crawford, Matthysse-Crawford if his eye is healed, Verdejo-Crawford, Spence-Crawford, Mikey Garcia-Crawford, stuff like that. Not this.

The fighter who was robbed against Lamont Peterson, that put a clinic of inside fighting against the prospect Sammy Vasquez, the 2008 olympic champion, but it doesn't matters because he doesn't have power, you know, since fighters with under 50% knockout ratio like Willie Pep, Harry Greb, Jake LaMotta, Nicolino Locche, etc, never became greats....oh...wait...

But they also don't bring the risk... No sense in crawford taking a money fight vs a risky guy

Crawford was also high risk , low reward before he won the title!
Cant use that excuse now when it suits him.

Money fights are few and far between. You just cant sit on the shelf and get rusty while waiting for that Paq pay day which may or may not happen.

In the meantime you stay relevant by defending against credible opponents.
Diaz is credible no matter what anyone says. And he is calling Crawford out.

Dont let his low KO% fool anyone. He can flat out fight.

I believe he will be a live underdog against Crawford.

Good for boxing.

diaz is ten times better than broner yet broner gets the haymon A team treatment while diaz gets thrown in the garbage. luck of the draw

This is a good fight! I hope Arum & Crawford accept the challenge! Make it happen!

I guess I don't mind this fight too much but I would still rather see him with someone like Broner or even Danny Garcia. Yes, I think he can give Crawford problems but I am yet not convinced that he can beat him. But it would be a good, however, I see Crawford's speed giving him a ton of problems. If it was up to me I would rather see him against Danny Garcia...that would be interesting in my opinion and it could be made in NYC...would do ok in my opinion.

How is he thrown in the garbage.. They're trying to get him a fight with the man at 140.. Plus one of them in popular

[Kigali]

No way Arum makes this fight. Diaz brings no money and is a high risk for Crawford.

Especially since he will more than likely be the face of the company after Pac eventually retires permanently.

No....just no.

[Kigali]

This fight doesn't do anything for Crawford. If he stays at 140, I'd like to see him go after Troyanovsky, but that fight is unlikely as well. I'd like to see him go to 147 and target either Bradley and Pacquiao. Those are legacy fights for him after winning lineal belts at 135 and 140.

The guy just got to 140...now ya'll want him at 147.

C'mon man.

You've graduated from Troll to Goblin.

Broner would kill that lunkheaded bastard.

I honestly wouldn't mind this fight. Until he wants to officially move up to 147, there isn't many other options for him at 140.
