Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Won't Get Credit for Beating Pacquiao AND Lomachenko

[SteveM]

If Loma is as good in the future as he looks right now then he will be fighting at 140 in a few years. But he can't win. Half the posters on here are saying he still has work at 130, specifically avenge the Salido defeat.

But the fact that he is even being mentioned as an opponent by Crawford, a p4p talent 2 weight classes above, and Crawford is whining that he wouldn;t get the praise he deserved, is a tremendous compliment, albeit a back-handed compliment, for Loma.

Challenges Pacman and Danny Garcia at 147, but not Thurman, Kell Brook, or Errol Spence.

Welcome to the world of boxing, Terence.

It doesn't matter who you are, no matter who you beat -- a bunch of armchair keyboard warrior boxing "experts" on their laptops, who aren't fans of yours, will spend countless hours typing away trying to discredit anything you do and anybody you beat.

Just the way it is.

Ask Floyd, ask Manny, ask Cotto, ask Canelo, ask Gennady, ask Wilder, ask Swift, ask SOG, ask Kovalev, ask Chocolatito, ask every other successful boxer of this era and any era that proceeded it.

dont put kovalev in that category.....kovalev actually got credit for beatimg a 50 year old hopkins and other bums.

While he can claim he never ducked anyone, there is also no one to duck at 140. Needs to move his ass up to 147 where the talent pool is deep. Last time Kellerman asked him about a possible fight with Spence he stumbled over his words looking for a way out. Get to 147 and fight D. Garcia, Thurman, Spence, Brook, Pac, etc. Stop whining that you don't get respect when your PPV numbers such and you are fighting B-rate opposition.

So he has to be champion @ 135, 140, and 147 before he's given his due? Does the same hold true for GGG?

Why didn't Kellerman ask Pacquiao about a fight with Errol Spence Jr.?

[FLY TY]

1 he cant best pacquiao. 2 he should be fighting fighters in their prime anyways, When Manny was coming up he took on prime fighters back to back until he hit algieri. He cant beat pacquiao tho.

He'd beat pacquiao.

The Garcia thing is personal, and the Pac thing is a no-brainer. Jesse Vargas made nearly 3 mil for goodness sakes.

LOMACHENKO DKSAB. he BEATS CRAWFORD EASILY IMO

Like when Crawford was gonna be "easy work" for Postol or more like when Barthelemy was going to be "easy work" for Shavikof?

[Thraxox]

Nobody gives you credit on beating Pacquiao or Lomachenko because you never even stepped on the same ring with them yet.

[nycsmooth]

Pac is finished and it's common knowledge he will not fight Bud as for Lomo he's just too small to be fighting even that jww forget ww which Bud will be moving 2 , possibly by Year's end...
