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

Noooo...don't be another "i don't get the credit i deserve" guy crawford.

Not true.

Barrera beat Morales a year after Pacquaio stopped him.

Marquez beat Casamayor, Diaz, Katsidis between fights II & III.

I hate Pacquaio and agree there's a lot of padding and cherry picking, but he fought some greats in the middle of good form.

Both Barrera and Morales were past it when they fought each other for the last time. Manny fought those 2 greats who were at the tail end of their career and had been in tough wars. Marquez was always a lil more fresher than both of those guys as he was more of a counter puncher who wasnt in many wars

So if the fight doesn't happen, it'll be because of Mannys demands. You can't fault Crawford for wanting that fight though.

He should want to fight Keith Thurman, Errol Spence, or Kell Brook. He wants midget Pacman, midget Lomachenko, and midget Mikey Garcia.

they will say lomachenko is TOO small.
& they will say pacquiao is OVER THE HILL(which he is and has been for a very long time and thus the welterweight rankings dont include him as a top 147) he just has a name of beating fighters at CATCHWEIGHTS in his juicing prime and draining his opponents til they were shells of themselves so he beat NAMES not FULL FLEDGED FIGHTERS WITHOUT CATCHWEIGHTS

You are a floydiot. You are talking about your idol IV king mayweather jr not Pacquiao.

That's because fighters of a certain demographic get major props for the same things fighters of Crawford's demographic don't get recognition for, or even get criticszed for.

You just gotta look at this thread. So many people claiming Crawford aint deserve props even though he is unified champ in two divisions. Same people claiming he should move up are the ones claiming GGG shouldn't/doesn't have to move up.

Max Kellerman asked Crawford to move up and fight Spence but when has he ever asked Pacquiao or GGG to move up?

There is clearly one demographic that is being unfairly treated and when they asked for equal recognition and treatment, they get called welfare whiners.

I'm not buying the demographic or race thing. Not when Mayweather is the highest paid athlete of all time and even an asshat like Broner gets his share of money fights and recognition. Part of Bud's problem is that he has no charisma, no fan appeal that reaches beyond the hardcore boxing fan.

Why would Max ask Pac to move up? He already moved up over 8 weight classes, how far up you want him to go? Next stop would be 160 for which he is too small.

Fighter's usually move up in weight out of necessity. Either they can no longer make weight, or the well had dried and they need to move up for bigger purses. GGG doesn't have any necessity to move up yet. He won't make bundles of cash fighting Ward at 168 or anyone else at that weight. He's waiting on Canelo for the big payday. Maybe one day he will move up when he has to, but he doesn't need to right now. Look how long Hopkins hid out at 160. He didn't move up in weight until 53 fights in.

He's right but making an issue of it makes it worse IMO

[marikudo]

Crawford beats Pac, Lomachenko beats Crawford

Lomachenko > Crawford > Pac

It should be Pacquiao>Lomachenko>Crawford.

[marikudo]

Pac is old, and Loma is a 130lb fighter. Fight and beat Thurman and you'll be one of the if not the best fighter in the world.

Thurman wont even beat an old pacquiao or even Timothy Bradley in my opinion.

[King_]

It should be Pacquiao>Lomachenko>Crawford.

PAC severely declined JUST before the Mayweather fight, so nah.

He was still in his prime all these years IMO until jist a couple days before the Floyd fight: he just declined physically so much in those few days, dude became a shell of himself.

He's WAY passed it now at this point in 2017.
