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

[FLEX U.K]

Would like to see him test the waters with Porter first, think that would be a cracking fight and styles would gel well

[McNulty]

If I were him I would take like 2 fights at 147 then go after the top guys.


War Crawford

I agree witht hat method.

You got to admire tje kid for going after the top cat, but Crawford is going to catch a L against Thurman straight out of the box.

Arum wants Crawford to beat up on the winner of Horn vs. Pacquiao, then fight a unification bout with whoever @ 147!

Great fight but a little too soon imo.. Crawford should test out top 5-10 guys at 147 before facing the top guys...

Bud does not need more than 1 or 2 tune-ups to fight Thurman. I'd give him a great chance of winning that fight.

Lol I love how Thurman is now the target for everyone at 147. Anyone remember when thurman was in that position? And he was calling out everyone including Paulie M? It's different when you are the top dog isn't it? No matter who you get in the ring with, you get accused of ducking the other one.

That seems to be the hip thing these days for a lot of uneducated fight fans. If he's not your favorite fighter, he's a serial ducker.

And sad too. I really do believe having a favourite fighter makes some fans casual fans.

I think he'd be ready to go straight to the champs, but feel with the PBC champs doing there thing and Horn taking a soft match, then Pacquaio II Bud is gonna have to have perhaps two non-title fights. Maybe somebody like Vargas and if GBP is game perhaps Mattheyse. He will hold the WBO belt next year for sure, but looks like he just has to wait it out.

I like this. If he can't defend against Mikey Garcia next, he might as well move up and gun for Thurman.

Crawford is smart to go for the big money fight against Thurmond first. The Errol Spence, Jr. fight would be more risky and a smaller pay day. I would like to see a Spence, Jr. fight against Thurmond with Crawford fighting the winner.
