Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford's Path To Superstardom At 147 Pounds

[jjsmyth87]

Then again, this is Big Bob the fixer of the almighty Top Rank, and his famous WBO belts.
He will make sure his new meal ticket Crawford will be king of the lower weight class.
We seen this all the time.
Another fresh fighter to exploit.

Arum is exploiting him by making him the king of the lower weight classes? How does that work lol please exaplain how thats exploiting him. What boxer wouldnt want to be known as the king. Under arums watch crawford became the first undisputed champion in 12 years and also p4p #1 on almost every list and made him millions of dollars while keeping him very active fighting 3 times a year almost every year. Is that exploiting or is that his promoter doing a good job promoting? Now arum has this huge espn deal and his fighters are just going to keep getting bigger and make more money. Within a couple years crawford and loma will become big ppv stars which is top ranks modus operandi and you guys will say that arum is exploiting them lol its insane

You can thank

Crawford ain't going to be**** until he beats Thurman or Spence. And I don't see neither fight happening. Crawford is good, but he hasn't beaten anyone other than Postol. I don't understand how many people have him higher than Thurman who beat Porter and Garcia.

TR, & HBO carefully planned this whole campaign.
Boxing needed someone to fill the Mayweather void, and chose Crawford.
Midwestern background helps sell the story.
A star is born right before your eyes.

I'm tired of Crawford. For years he's had the opportunity to call out Pac but instead was happy with hand-picked opponents fighting in Nebraska. Now the he has unified the belts (fighting pretty much no one of note) he wants to move up. At a time when 140 looks to be getting better with Mikey Garcia and even a Lomo fight possible. After barely breaking a sweat to unify versus Indongo - he now gets 8 months off to fight Jeff Horn? 147 is where you have a bunch of top PBC guys (excluding Porter) who really only want to fight once a year for an over-inflated paycheck. (Yes, 3.5 million to fight Lamont Peterson is a joke). So who is he going to face? Haymon fighters don't need to fight him. They can make more fighting the house brand. Crawford is not marketable in a sense of an HBO-Showtime co-promotion. Frankly, boxing would be better is Horn beats him. At least Horn has the balls to call people out.

Get ready for Crawford-Horn and Crawford-Horn II.

Followed by Crawford-Jesse Vargas and Crawford-Ponomarev.

Stung by the hornet

Crawford is going to beat the brakes off of Horn and it won't matter if the fight is in Horn's country or in his back guard at his family reunion.

It matters to us Aussies, Horn is doing wonders for the sweet science over here he was a winner before stepping in the ring with pac. So I can't understand why most the international boxing community still putting **** on him he's good for the sport...... When Horn defends his belt I suspect crawford will duck him as will others i hope not though, crawford will feel like his had more ****s then a second hand pellet gun after being bashed round the ring so bad he wish he fought spence. I don't think crawford can beat Horn, Coracran might I haven't seen him fight, seen crawford though, and if Horn doesn't expose him no one will, except maybe Spence, I hope Jeff beats him to it, he'll only need one more tough fight and hell be ready for Spence, then we get to see just how tuff they both are if Spence don't duck.

You sound shook of Bud coming to 147, lmao. The above post doesn't even make sense, lol. It's just a jealous rant.

Nobody is going to duck Horn, lmao. He just doesn't have the skill set to beat Bud. All the rough house tactics won't stop Bud from bashing his face in. Bud just wants Horn's title so that he can bring something to the table against Haymons guys.

[Mister Wolf]

Get ready for Crawford-Horn and Crawford-Horn II.

Crawford is gonna make Horn a bloody mess and most likely stop him with a concentrated body attack. There wont be a rematch.

[sicko]

I just help that Arum don't try to block fights with TOP Haymon guys at 147. Yes Cawford has fought Haymon guys recently with no problem but Molina and Felix Diaz didn't command a lot of Money compared to what Thurman and Spence Jr will cost

I think Crawford will stay on the WBO side of things for awhile, fighting Horn then if Pacquiao wants to comeback maybe he finally gets that fight but him vs Thurman and Spence Jr is a long way from happening!

[JakeTheBoxer]

Crawford is nothing at 147, beating 140 guys doesn`t make you relevant at welterweight.

I wonder if he could even beat Collazo.
