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

[kushking]

Who tha **** does 'Runtime' think he is? this reminds me of Floyd Mayweather and Keiph is no Mayweather ; even Cotto offered Mikey a shot but this clown thinks hes some kind of superstar?

This fool did the same thing to Errol Spence - talking about you better not duck me thon, looks like hes the one getting injured all the time canceling fights, taking long vacations and now trying to play match-maker FOH!

Right on about everything. Spence would waste this fool easy pickings. But if everyone keeps duckin bud he needs to take whatever name he can get,hell im sure he can get Arums stank ass to get him ranked #1 challenger the way canelo was to saunders @mw after he won wbo title @154.

Arum testified in court that he regularly bribes sanctioning bodies to rank fighters but he cant get bud ranked at ww after unifying at 140,thats some bs. Crawford should be blaming his promoter 4 wanting him to only fight in house bums like Horny jeff that doesn't want that smoke esp. If he can't rob him in Australia. Don king even said he can get a ham sandwich ranked through bribery.

It's almost like he's got an excuse not to fight anyone who might come across as a threat. There's precedence for the top dog at a lower weight moving up and getting a shot throughout the history of the sport.

Thurman beats Crawford and he also beats Spence.

Thurman beats Crawford and he also beats Spence.

He barely beat Shawn Porter.

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

Fully agree great comment bro, I don't even know how to give you rep points on this site? not that you need them tbf ;-)

This articles tells a story. A story of a worried man - if not scared. I like Thurman, but I just lost some respect for him.

Truth man. Maybe engagement and marriage took a toll on Thurman's testosterone. The man was already blabbering even before Spence went to get Brook's belt. Now Thurman comes back after his honeymoon and pretends that he's been out of touch with everything, and starts reciting crap when Spence calls him out.

Spence said it to his face - I want Keith Thurman anytime, I'm always ready. Thurman comes back with öh I love fighting and I love blood and its sooo good and its beautiful when you guys watch it... Brother, the question was simple enough.

Maybe. He doesn't seem to want to be in a hurry to prove it though.

The Crawford discussion is pointless. None of the top guys at 147 will be fighting on ESPN and many of you know that.

Unless they offer the PBC guys purses north of $2 million (probably $3+ million), we'll never see Crawford fight these guys.
And I don't see that happening.

Crawford is my guy, but he'll be stuck fighting Jeff Horn and whoever else bob can sell as a legitimate fight but in reality it's some no hoper in front of him (like many of his past opponents).

I suspect he wouldn't be favored against Thurman or Spence by oddmakers.

Thurman is always talking b.s. though.

That's the story for most boxers this generation...

Crawford is the best fighter in the world with Ward being retired imo..Thurman makes very lil sense here..Thurman should be jumping at a fight with Crawford tbh..

I doubt Thurman or Spence would be fav over Crawford..
