Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Could Fight Granados Next Instead of Felix Diaz

[Santa_]

Granados beat Broner and Imam back to back. He deserves a big fight like this.


WAAAAAR GRANADOS!

Burns ain't no champion. Crawford is the world champion following the likes of Tony Canzoneri, Barney Ross, Aaron Pryor, Julio Cesar Chavez and recently Danny Garcia. Those paper titles mean nothing . The end game is to defend the title against top contenders so he can be recognized as one of the most dominant champions at 140. Once he can no longer make the weight he can move up to 147 to work on the next chapter of his career.

Once again you're making arguments that go against what Crawford team is saying. You may look at it as a paper title but Crawford and his team don't. Their stated goal is to get all the belts at 140. The end game for them is different than your personal end game.

If you want him to defend against the Top challengers then you should want him to defend against Diaz, not the guy coming off a loss who Diaz already beat

I get your point, but it could be as simple as him not being ready to move to 147 yet. He's been at 140 for less than 2 years. Add to that garcia may be there at 140 for him next year....

He could just be comfortable at his weight right now.

I was responding to the guy who didn't think fighting Burns was anything special. Becoming undisputed is special to me. What about you? For some strange reason that guy doesn't want him to fight Burns for the belts. He wants Crawford to continue fighting the likes of Granados, Jean, Molina, & Lundy.

I don't care what they say. Unlike you I can form an opinion on my own. He's a paper champion on the level of all of the other opponents you are degrading. And in top of that, he already beat him so he proves nothing by fighting him again.

Diaz isn't a top challenger because he's not even ranked at 140. Or belts and rankings only matter when they suit your agenda?

Fact of the matter is there are no worthy challengers at 140 at the moment because fights need to happen. Once these other contenders sort it out Crawford will have a legit opponent by the end of the year. In the meantime, all he has to do is stay busy.

If Burns is the last man standing, then he would have earned a second opportunity. As of today, it's a crap fight and that's why it's not happening yet.

Glad to see the kid get another payday, and it's a good fight for Crawford too. He already beat Ricky Burns, Felix Diaz would be a good fight too. This fight could setup a Broner fight. I think he will call him out after.

I agree with you in terms of unifying belts from a fighter's perspective...

But I agree with him in terms of meaningful fights that fans are interested in.

Golovkin gets slack for using the whole "unifying" thing as an excuse to not face threats from above or below, so from a fan's perspective, the same should apply with TC.

Personally, I won't knock him for unfying, but facing a guy he already beat, just because he has a belt, might tick some people off, and i get that also.

[KnockoutKings]

it should be crawford vs diaz, or crawford vs manny, or crawford vs bradley....

crawford vs diaz, then move to 147. Seems simple enough

**** Crawford if he takes that fight instead of Diaz. What does that say about him? Dude does not earn respect like that...

[BestPR]

Crawford is ducking Diaz...if he fights Granados, it'll be another Molina-like fight...Diaz can and will hurt Crawford...he's a bad dude...

[illpapi]

He already beat Burns and the fight was one sided and uneventful. Just because he has a belt doesn't make it a meaningful fight.

Nobody knows who Diaz is and his best win is over a prospect. Of course he doesn't deserve as much as Molina.

There are no good fights out there right now. He beat the #1 guy. Now it's just a waiting game until a new hot contender emerges.

And you're a real boxing fan....so, Diaz is not known...so who gives a ****? And he beat Peterson in most people's eyes or do you just go by what a lot of these currupt judges say? And is Granados really known or are you just hating in Diaz? Let's keep it real...most real boxing fans agree that the better fight is with Diaz...and Diaz already beat Granados...come on son!
