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

[-PBP-]

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!

You need to understand what your quoting before you can respond intelligently. Yes Diaz is a good fighter and I would love to see the fight but if he prices himself out I won't lose sleep over it. This is an opportunity to fight for a championship not a golden lottery ticket.

So what's the point of Crawford staying at 140?

Outside of potential fights with guys like Mikey Garcia and maybe Lomenchenko down the line, really none.

I don't think Diaz has done anything to earn a shot but I want to see it just because people think he could actually beat Bud.

The TC camp are avoiding Diaz like the plague. End of story.
No I am not saying or implying that Diaz beats him. Simply saying that Diaz is good enough to not worth the risk as far as they are concerned.

"Pricing" him self out is all bull*****!
"Nobody knows him" is also bull*****!

Diaz is good. Make that very good and a live dog.
Stop recycling Granados!!

TC is supposed to be the best at 140. Make the fight happen and cut the BS.
TC can hire Granados as a sparring partner to prepare for Diaz if he wants to.

Once again. BoMac said one of the reasons they choose Molina was because he came cheap. Diaz wants the same amount. So doesn't that mean he's coming cheap too? You know who probably would've came cheap too? Indongo

The Burns fight is meaningful because Crawford said he wants to become undisputed at 140. Maybe I'm the fool for believing what these guys say.

If he's not trying to become undisputed at 140 why is he still there? To fight Lundy, Molina, and Granados? Whats the end game?

Maybe Granados is a tune up while he waits for the winner of Burns/Indongo?

Besides Granados stopped a much hyped contender/prospect in Amir Imam and just gave Broner just about all he could take (according to some here, haven't watched the fight), so if Crawford dominates and stops Granados then it will be a statement might, then he can fight the winner of Burns/Ingongo.

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.

I'm basing it solely on Crawford's team words. They said the reason they're staying at 140 is to get all the belts. If they have to beat a guy they already beat so be it. If they aren't trying to get all the belts I don't see the point of staying at 140 when "there's nothing there" as Crawford's trainer put it.

[Motorcity Cobra]

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.

Your opinion doesn't matter when it conflicts with their goals. The goal of becoming undisputed is a much more better goal than fighting top contenders. BoMac said "there's nothing there" when he talked about 140.

I don't care what the ranking bodies say. Diaz is better than Granados and that was proved in the ring. Not by some ranking bodies.

Outside of potential fights with guys like Mikey Garcia and maybe Lomenchenko down the line, really none.

The Lomachenko fight is never gonna happen. 135 is probably the highest he'll get. Maybe 140 towards the end of his career. The Garcia fight is at least a year away if it even happens at all.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Maybe Granados is a tune up while he waits for the winner of Burns/Indongo?

Besides Granados stopped a much hyped contender/prospect in Amir Imam and just gave Broner just about all he could take (according to some here, haven't watched the fight), so if Crawford dominates and stops Granados then it will be a statement might, then he can fight the winner of Burns/Ingongo.

Iman was a prospect like you said. Why cant the guy who beat Granados, Diaz, become the tune up? It's not a good look for a unified champ to be fighting guys coming off a loss. I remember Broner got shit for fighting for a title when he was coming off a loss. And Diaz is asking for less money than Molina got so I don't know how people are saying he's pricing himself out.

Imagine if DSG fought the guys that Crawford is fighting at 140 he would have been crucified.
