Comments Thread For: Broner: Fighting Spence Would Be "Foolish" for Crawford's Career

[Kigali]

He moved up and got soundly beat, he is a joke always folds under pressure and has been spoonfed title shots. He cant hang with elite fighters. Crawford beats him, anyone of top five ww beats him. Thats why he has to stick to guys like Theophane to look good. Plus that garbage personality of his, you would have to be a complete moron to take advice from this clown.

At least he had the balls to test himself...that's a lot more than other fighters dare.

True, I know you mean GGG mainly which I agree with, tired of his fanboys (I like GGG but not delusional like most) calling for Mayweather and Canelo and calling them cowards but make no mention of him not wanting to move up.

Broner got his ass whipped trying to move up and not adjusting his game.

Crawford weighs almost 160 on fight night. And GGG moved up more from age 19 than Ward, Canelo, and many others have. He just joined the pros late so he was already fully grown by that point. Guys like Mayweather started pro when they were teenagers so of course they grew after. They also were very good at cutting weight, probably used PEDs, to get artificially low, take titles off smaller guys, then move up so they can say they're multi-division champions like that's an accomplishment when you're beating up smaller guys. Like look at Broner he was unbeatable at 135. Why? Broner is some all time great fighter? No man he just had the ways to drain down and rehydrate and beat up smaller guys who couldn't handle his power. Floyd did the same early in his career. He's actually a big welterweight. 72 inch reach is 1.5 inches longer than GGG so how come we never saw Floyd at middleweight? Exactly. He brainwashed you with all the lies that he weighed 150 on fight night but then you see how the showtime weights are manipulated (JROC-Charlo for instance) and how when Floyd hid his fight night weight vs Pacquiao, also used illegal IVs which he said was because he was dehydrated.

You really think this dude walks around at 150 if he couldn't make 147 without being dehydrated? Either that or he was lying and it was to mask PEDs, in which case it's totally irrelevant how many weight classes Floyd moved up because he was a cheater. In that case using PEDs will definitely let you climb weight classes in unnatural ways.

Last but not least, I DO want GGG to move up. I want to see #1 at 160 vs #1 at 168, Gilberto Ramirez. I have been pushing for the best guys to agree to fight GGG and I hope we see all those fights with GGG. The best guys 154 through 170 fighting GGG between 160 and 170. Want to see all those fights.

But man don't bring up Floyd as a positive example for anything in boxing. Dude is the Lance Armstrong of boxing and is totally irrelevant to anyone who knows the facts. The man is a liar and a con man basically who it looks like used PEDs, cherry picking, corrupt commissions and favorable refs, and an unlikeable persona to create a money making illusion. He's a hustler, a cheater, a liar, but not a champion. He conned the fans out of a lot of money, so you can give him credit for that if you're dumb enough to think that's a good thing, but stop talking about his ring accomplishments as if he has any. It looks like he's a cheater so throw it all out. He's a fake. They call him Fraud Mayweather for a reason. So long as GGG is clean, he has already accomplished more than Floyd because he is actually fighting EVERYONE of EVERY STYLE in his division, cleaning it out, something Floyd NEVER did always picked the right guys at the right time, and most importantly, if he's clean, then he's clean, so it actually counts.

Roided up victories over cherry picks does not count, I don't care how many weight classes you do it in.

fk you're an idiot !

If they have a contract they should consistently get good money. That's what I'd prefer. No more no less.

If Arum let's outside tough outside fights happen often please give me a few examples, because myself or no one else on this forum is able to name any times.

Lomo fighting Russell was a purse bid fight AND it involved a Haymon fighter so please don't say Haymon stops those types of fights and use one of them as an example.

Floyd/Pac debacle was on Arum just as much if not more so on Arum and Pac. I guess you don't remember the tatooed Pac's needle phobia or the negotiations that never were etc etc.

GGG and Kovavlev's team get in their own way so I'm not concerned there. I guess you conviently forgot the accepted purse bid for Stevenson Kovalev that Kovalev dropped out of or how ggg seems to have failed negotiations with everyone.

SO again stop trying to put this on two people who are only part of the story. I haven't seen a TR/GB fight yet worthwhile, but you seem to think its all greenlights on that side.

Arum put SRL in with Duran young. He tried to put Floyd in with top guys but Floyd wanted to cherry pick his own guys. Etc etc.

Didn't Floyd fight Genaro Hernandez at what 19 or 21 or something like that? Then Manfreddy, Corrales Castillio etc etc? Stop it with the cherry picking talk as if any fighter that you like has close to the same resume. Floyd left Arum because he couldn't get the big fights. Keep spitting the company line though. PBC ruined boxing all fights were champ vs champ before Haymon etc

[al-Xander]

Crawford is a TR fighter. That alone would generate tons of excuses why this fight can't happen. So why talk about a guy outside of your stable? Why not you, Broner, Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Berto, etc.?
