Comments Thread For: Crawford Can't See Fight Between Him & Lomachenko Happening

[Jubei]

Gary Russel and Nicolas Walters are both much better wins than everything on Crawfords entire resume buddy. Why dont you meet Loma at 135? Oh i know why, you walk around at 170+ and already drain yourself like crazy to fight undersized midgets like you fight in your next fight.

[Eff Pandas]

Yea I can't see it either. Crawford is past due on moving up to 147 for me & Loma still needs to move up to & conquer 135 before I'd wanna see him move up to & conquer 140. Timeline wise I can't see these things lining up & I think its a legit question if Loma can keep winning all the way up to 140.

No.....not at all.

Bud can fight inside.

Loma has 0 inside game.

Against weaker competition yes. Is they were same size Lima would school him. Lima has better defense, hand speed, and footwork.

GGG just went life-n-death with a fellow middleweight. And there's a solid number of folks that thought he lost.

As for Ward "reaching down two classes to fight a smaller guy." As I said in my post about Crawford-Lomachenko. Loma gets a pass in my book because he's already shown a willingness to move up in weight and challenge himself. Just like Ward, who moved up and fought the biggest, baddest light heavyweight out there. GGG refuses to move up and fight anybody with a pulse.

As for the Mayweather-Ward thing. Floyd and Andre got in a pissing contest in the media. I've forgotten what it was about. Ward was on some "talk ****, back it up" type ****. Nobody took it seriously. It was a super middleweight/light heavyweight arguing with a welterweight.

On the other hand, Ward-GGG is a realistic fight, just like Floyd-GGG is a realistic fight. And since you're talking natural size. Ward and GGG are closer in size than Floyd and GGG.

Oh I know, those solid number if folks were just waiting for ggg to go 12 rounds to say he lost. Not a damn one if them would say Jacobs lost if he outlanded ggg in nine rounds, landed the harder more impactful shots, knocked ggg down, hurt him three other times, while GGG stayed on his back foot or held, only occasionally throwing slap sticks on Jacobs gloves.

To say it was close that night is understandable, fights are fast. But to watch the replay and look at it analytically, it's absurd.

You don't get brownie points for surviving while your opponent damages you face. Like Ward, Jacobs hid the damage done to him. Like Kov, GGG proudly showed what was done to him.

****er said want to award wins against GGG and Kov for doing little more than not getting blown the **** out. GGG went in there against a guy they knew could be way heavier than him while he was restricted by the IBF weigh rule. He fought cautionously. But it's absurd to think he lost. Jacobs had every physical advantage possible and was supposed to be the superior boxer. It didn't matter. His dream team of trainer managed to get him 12 rounds and were hoping for a home town "I'm an American slickster" win. The kind awarded to Ward when he survived Kov. Then it had to be a conspiracy when that didn't happen. And they ****ing begged for no rematch clause, now want to complain the champion won't rematch him instead of moving on with his plans.

As for Ward moving up, cool. He fought a guy his own size for once. What is he, a SMW, a LHW, a freshmen MW.

The man a few months ago can't make 168, struggles to make 175. But wait, is ggg slipping. Suddenly he can make 168 again.

So did Ward move up to challenge himself or was he forced up?

As for Ward, he was serious about Floyd. But nice try. People will admonish ggg, but let other fighters slide.

"Ward stated on the social networks – "Lil Floyd says he spars middleweights. He is the only man I will sacrifice coming to 160 for. He won't take that bait!!!"

He was being serious. Even came up with the same lil-Floyd name.

If GGG blew up 25 pounds in weight and fought a guy 15 pounds lighter than him he'd be torn to shreds. He is always fighters guys his weight or heavier.

You're 1 year too late, Lomachenko has had two fights at 130lbs, holds the WBO 130 pound title, will have his 3rd 130 fight on Saturday, is ranked #1 Super Feather by Ring and TBRB and lastly, he is talking about moving up to fight 135 to fight Garcia. And the way they are going at it back in forth that fight will happen sooner rather than later.



This looks like one interview that was broken down into different comments threads. Remember the thread of him saying Ward is #1 and he's #2 P4P? This is probably from that interview. He was probably asked for his take on the best fighters and he was also asked if he would fight Lomachenko.

Thanks bro, fck me and my life, Im on the road all the time. Its hard to keep up. Crawford might get him at 140 but Loma is for real. green k your way for being you and them *******.

[j.razor]

It's funny how Kellerman didn't ask Pacquiao (147) about Errol Spence Jr., but he asks Crawford (140) about it.

He's controlled by hbo....he was WAY better when he was on Friday night fights....

[Derranged]

What he said makes sense. He clearly respects Lomachenko's skill set which is pretty cool but he is a realist I suppose. They probably won't meet up. I am also glad that he acknowledged Salido's tactics, something that many on this site tend to ignore or forget.

Its not hard to see the agenda on this site. Anytime someone brings up how dirty Salido was and how incompetent and/or corrupt Laurence Cole was, a certain group of posters will say "Oh stop crying" or "Lomachenko held" or "Lomachenko lost accept it". Problem is this: Salido threw more than enough low blows to be disqualified. Anyone with an objective mind can't possibly watch that fight and argue otherwise.

Just imagine if Vasily Lomachenko's name was Vontay D'brickashaw Laquan. The aforementioned posters would be screaming their heads off.

Now it was a close fight and Lomachenko shouldn't have been in the ring with someone like that in his second pro fight. I get it. But to say that say that Salido shouldn't have been d'qued is asinine.

Naw, a certain group of posters wants to paint the picture that Salido only won because he threw low blows and missed the weight.

But they aren't giving Salido any credit for how well he fought and how his Mexican style gave Lomachenko quite a few problems.

I didn't say he only won because of low blows. Try again.

I didn't say you, I said a certain group of posters.
