Comments Thread For: Thurman: Crawford Must Be Relevant Welterweight Before We Fight

[sammybee]

Crawford vs Omar Figueroa should be made

[aboutfkntime]

NEW YORK Keith Thurman respects everything Terence Crawford has accomplished within the lightweight and junior welterweight divisions. To fight him, however, the unbeaten WBA/WBC welterweight champion claims Crawford must first become "relevant" within the 147-pound division. Crawford, the undisputed 140-pound champion, could move up to welterweight and perhaps secure a shot at WBO 147-pound champion Jeff Horn.

cleaning out 140 and being ranked P4P #1 makes him relevant..... because, people are gonna talk

[_original_]

Crawford has been calling out Thurman, crapping on Garcia, and saying he'd fight Spence but he knows those fights would never happen. At best he fights Horn then a faded Manny. It's all recycled Top Rank in house matches from there on out.

Lmao "relevant" so the UNDISPUTED 4 BELT 140 lb champ moving up to the next weight class isn't relevant? The guy universally higher ranked p4p than you isn't "relevant" ?


Did Kovalev say sorry Ward isn't relevant?

Thurman strikes me as a dumbass sometimes.. especially when he talks in the 3rd person... I hate that $#it. I like Spence a lot more.

I also don't like how Thurman has been finishing off fights lately too. Great fighter but he pisses me off.

[Strategic1]

All that barking pre fight against Garcia and he chooses to run around at the end of the fight.

I dont **** with Thurman or Garcia. They tho k they've proved something when they really haven't. This is the weakest WW has been in a long time. Crawford would clean out the division and this is his 3rd division. I think Spence is the best WW and his chin is suspect.

[Sickmerch1990]

Crawford is a much bigger name than thurman done alot more in his career so far and would dominate this fight

[-Antonio-]

Thurman is right. Crawford beat Smallboa and a whole bunch of bozos at 140. Thurman beats him anyway.

Thurman best win is against Porter. Garcia beat a bunch of bozos at 147. Mostly blown up guys. Crawford is truly special and he has enough length to be dangerous at WW too. Thurman would get best down. I would bet my house on it.

I'm rolling with Crawford even though he'd be the underdog vs. both Thurman and Spence (and rightfully so). Crawford is a LW coming up 2 weight classes to WW. Thurman and Spence are both 154 lbers. draining to WW (Thurman has 17 fights above 147, Spence has 13 fights above 147). With that said Crawford is rightfully rated above both Thurman and Spence P4P.

Crawford 2 lineal titles > Thurman + Spence 0 lineal titles
Crawford 1 undisputed title > Thurman + Spence 0 undisputed titles

At 157lbs, Crawford fight night weights are the same as Spence yet you claim Spence is the one draining down whereas Crawford was fighting at 140lbs weighing that much?

SMH!
