The Hornet has a great nickname, but he is a B level fighter at the absolute best. Still have yet to see Crawford beat anyone that would whip AB, so he has a long way to go. I would be quick to move up to face Horn instead of Mikey Garcia, if I was Crawford too.
Anyways, Arum should spend more on putting together good fights instead of paying sites only die-hards visit to hype up his stable. They have tried and everyone still knows Vargas and Horn are second or third tier. And no one knows about Crawford, because he never fights an A level opponent. Sorry but beating Postol and Indongo are not in the same league as wins against Porter and Swift or Brook.
Crawford has never even mentioned wanting to fight anyone but Horn at ww. He is with Arum for a reason. To make money without ever taking any chance. Which is cool and all, but Crawford isn't taking any fight he has a chance of losing this decade. Unless Thurman bails and jumps ship to join Arum just to avoid Spence, which he might do if forced to battle The Truth.Comment

Because Pacquiao had Floyd's leftovers and Arum/boxing press hyping him as the rightful alternative to Floyd.
Crawford is working with Jeff Horn, Pacquiao if he ever fights again, Ponamarev, and whatever British welterweights with Frank Warren (Jesse Vargas has already crossed the street) as the only opponents for him.Comment

You are very wrong. Top Rank harvested their ALREADY huge buzz to line his own pockets. Oscar because of his Gold Medal, Floyd Sinclair because he used the Mayweather name.
To Rank kept Floyd relevant but Golden Boy Promotions made Floyd a Superstar.
Oscar, Canelo, Floyd and Manny are the biggest stars possibly in Boxing history next to Mike Tyson. All 4 fought for or signed to Golden Boy Promotions. Including Manny but Bob sued to get him back to the slave quarters. Manny knew GBP was the best.
So the 4 biggest stars in Boxing all worked for Oscar or signed with him. The Biggest star was built by them from scratch.
Do you really need anyone to explain this to you? OK fine....guess I should tell you to breath air as well.
Dont fuc k with me.
Oscar got the reigns of Golden Boy by the Fall of 2014, only taking full control, for argument's sake, at the start of 2015.
Who has Oscar made into a star in his actual run (Saul Alvarez was already a budding PPV star before the end of 2014, so cut the bull****)?Comment

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 insaneComment

Floyd, Oscar, and Canelo all launched into stardom while Richard Schaefer was running everything for Oscar; to attribute Schaefer's success to Oscar is disgusting.

This is why there should be one boxing organization. Something like the UFC. Two belts at most.Comment
