Comments Thread For: Crawford Laments Lost Opportunity After Horn Upsets Pacquiao

[Death_Adder]

Why the hell are people feeling sorry for Terrance Crawford? Because now he doesn't get to face a washed up Pacquiao?

Fucking fight Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Bradley, Spence, Brook.

I agree. This is why none of these fighter will probably go down as top ten all time greats.

Rofl quit with the excuses. Crawford definitely going down as an ATG. Some people just cant see greatness, even when right under their nose. Instead they will keep on hating until it become impossible to deny him.

Cmon man, do you even trust your own bull****?

Crawford took all the toughest challenges at 135-140 and won them easily, he got 5 stoppage in his last 6 fights. Hes now fighting Idongo for the first unification over a decade.

Its okay for Pac to avoid geting annhilated by him. Even a prime Pac would not stand a chance at 140

More fanboyism. Who has Crawford beat at 140 that is even close to a prime Pac. Do you really think Postol, Gamboa, Diaz, Indongo, Burns, Beltran match up to a prime Pac. I swear, I think prime Wilfred would be P4P 1 in today's era if a guy like Crawford is getting this much praise for not fighting anyone great.

Based off of what we have seen from Crawford and the quality of opponents he has fought, does he beat prime Pac, Tszyu, Wilfred, Floyd, Oscar, Pryor, Chavez at 140?

I think it's pretty clear Crawford beat them all. Only a young floyd have enough boxing skills to match him in the ring.

We feel sorry because his promoter doesn't seem to want to make those kind of matchups! Arum dealt with Al Haymon and brought TC ****ing John Molina Jr. and Felix Diaz, but Mikey Garcia gets Broner! Arum made an offer to Broner for Pacquiao, but not for TC! Bob was going to let Pacquiao get Khan, but TC can't get Khan or DSG? Why should TC have to face Thurman and Spence Jr., when there's a WW champion @ TR? I think TC put in more work for TR than Horn did, yet who got a shot @ Pacquiao first? Do you really think a Pacquiao vs. Crawford PPV fight in Vegas would've done worse than Pacquiao fight with Jeff Horn in Australia on ESPN?

Crawford was not more skilled than Prime, Pernell, Duran, Chavez or Oscar. These guys had better handspeed, footwork, and defense. Hell, even prime Pac had better foot work, defense, and he was better at creating angles. Pryor, Chavez, Pernell, Duran, Oscar, and Pac beat Crawford at 140. They get the benefit of the doubt because they beat better fighters and they were better in many departments

Biggest losers are Garcia and Broner...........

Garcia and Broner have to be be real upset right now. As I've previously posted they should have taken the Pac fight instead of their respective fights. Now they've missed the biggest opportunity of their boxing careers because both could of potentially beat Pac for more money and stardom. Garcia/Broner would have to beat both Spence & Thurman for less money now just to get that moniker and still wouldn't have the worldwide publicity for fighting Pac. Very bad business decision by Garcia/Broner.

Because of risk and reward.

Fighters don't want to take risk. Not everything is about race. Thurman and Spence are the only two fighters who seem to want to be great.
