Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford Will Go Down as the Best Fighter of His Era

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bob Arum has a tremendous amount of confidence in Terence Crawford. That confidence, combined with the hype-prone promoter's need to sell an event scheduled for Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, led Arum to make quite a prediction regarding the remainder of Crawford's career. Asked about the importance of Crawford headlining at the Garden's main arena for the first time, Arum suggested that the unbeaten WBC/WBO super lightweight champion could become the best fighter of his era.

I like Crawford but Idk about all this. He's 28 already I think? And his resume is utterly thin.

[CLUBBER!]

Good grief.
Don't get me wrong, Crawford is good, but...
HE'S BEATEN NOBODY!
His ONLY notable victory is Victor friggin Postol. Give me a break. Let Crawford earn his way up to this gloating. When he starts beating notable opponents, then I'll give him the credit he deserves. Until then, he's just hype.
I do have high hopes for him, but he's still proven absolutely nothing as of yet.

To wouldn't surprise me. If he managed to unify 140,moved up and beat the best at 147 then he wouldn't be able to be denied as the best.
With so many opinions these days the best a fighter can hope for is to be the considered the best of his current era.

This is Arum talk for... If they both win their next fights. "Im feeding Manny to Crawford"

[Bronx2245]

He's not going to get there by fighting Diaz, Barthelemy, and Indongo. He needs Mikey Garcia, Thurman, and Errol Spence Jr.!

[mlac]

hes close to 30 and hes fought a grand total of

1 legit opponent.

[WesternChamp]

bob hyping crawford up as the next best thing... you know a fight with pac is coming up then.

[boxingitis]

Bob "Crawford the best of his Era".

Bob "Lomachenko has the skill of young Ali".

These guys are good, but he need to get them better opponents.

With high risk comes high reward.
GGG vs Canelo.

[Gillie]

He definitely has the skill and the will to try and finish his opponents. His next couple of fights will tell a story. Hopefully, he takes on a top flight guy after Diaz.
