Comments Thread For: Crawford Focused on Move To 147 - Wants Keith Thurman Fight

Hopefully espn puts pressure on top rank and the rest of these promoters to make the big fights happen. There are enough quality welterweights to take boxing back to its golden days. Crawford has the skills and confidence to beat anyone in the division. The question is does he have the chin??? Thurman is a good test, but the mega fight in the next few years will be Crawford vs Spence.

i wish espn could but if the fight ever happened it's going on cbs and pbc is not bending over too arum

I'm saying. I don't know what Crawford has done to be considered the favorite vs Thurman. Thurman can dish it out plus he has a chin.

Am I the only one that feels like ESPN needs to upgrade the production value? All of their fights still feel like FNF. When you watch a fight on Sho or HBO, it feels like something a little more special. Also, dump Teddy and Timmy and get some quality commentators.

Anybody who passes the Keith Thurman test is a bad man! We ready to go Bud!

Great to hear, Bud! Get moving to 147 asap!

There was another thread on this potential fight a few months back. I'm a fan of both but would favor Bud over One Time at the moment.

I love Crawford but to jump to 147 to take on Thurman right away is suicidal! He hasn't fought top opposition at 140 and Thurman is a great boxer/puncher!

He should fight Horn, Sadam Ali, and Vargas first. Why isn't he willing to fight Spence.

Just look at the talent at 147lbs Thurman, Spence, Garcia , Porter and now Crawford....this division is booming lets hope fights like Bud v Thurman happen .Although Crawford v Spence would be my pick .Strange how nobody calls Spence out!

That's cause Spence is a little too hot at the moment. If he goes the distance in his next fight, or has any scary moments, then the others will start mentioning him. He's the high risk fight for anyone right now.
