Comments Thread For: Thurman: Won't Be as Easy for Crawford at 147 as It Was at 140

[Oluminati]

I'm surprised Garcia vs Crawford at 140 didn't get more traction especially after Bud had all 4 belts.

Arum said Bud barely made weight for the Indongo fight and was even in question up until the weigh-in. Mikey simply has a lot of options at 135 n 140, and Bud too but will be harder for him given the promotional hurdles.

I feel Crawford is good, but Welter always seems to be a weight class where people from 130 with exceptional skills move up as well as larger guys drain down to. It's a tough division

Today it's all about being "undefeated" and fighting the easiest options...

but cotto made millions in a career of LOSING big fights

lol. Let's see how "relevant" thurmans next opponent is. All he seems to be doing nowadays is finding reasons to not fight spence and now Crawford

He told you what he was gon do but you guys don't pay attention....

He gon have a tune up, could be alexander....then he gon do his mandatory which is Porter & in 2019 he will talk Errol Spence Jr. If Thurman wins his next two of course. So that's two fights next yr.

As much as i like Thurman i think Crawford beats him. Hes no Danny Garcia or Porter. Danny Garcia is one of the most over rated boxers. How many close calls has this dude have vs ok guys?? Anyway, if Thurman and Crawford do get it on it will be a classic but it wouldn't shock me if Thurman won the fight because of the weight but as of now I'm leaning towards Crawford.

Why is so hard for these guys to fight each other? All these guys under Haymon refuse to fight each other so it doesn't matter what Crawford does, they are going to keep making of excuses why he doesn't deserve a fight against them! That's the worst thing about Haymon coming into the boxing game and signing all those fighters. His top guys fighting each other are far in between.

You got it all wrong....You obviously support the fake in boxing....

DSG is a good boxer with a mean left hook. He got a good resume also. The only one that can beat Thurman now is Errol period. Bud works for the other team so ask his boss if he would let him play with the boys at 147. Remember Bud will be facing the school teacher if he wins his next bout.

Fighting a washed up Pacquiao is your answer?

Fighting the Pacquiao that fought Timothy Bradley a 3rd time in 2016, or the Pacquiao that fought Jessie Vargas in 2016, that would've helped Terence Crawford a lot! Just look at what Pacquiao's victory over Oscar De La Hoya did for Manny's career!

Dude last year Thurman's last two fights are Garcia and Porter, and Spence's last two fights will be Pietersen and Kell Brook. What is this Haymon fighters aint fighting each other bull crap?

[Bronx2245]

not true. arum refused to let crawford-manny happen for more than 2 years. in stead he gave us the fights we've all been duing for, like pacquiao-bradley 3.

been sayin for years as soon as many cant win arum will make it an option.

Instant Classic! NOT! Here's some other classics: Jessie Vargas, Brandon Rios, Chris Algieri, and the infamous Jeff "The Hornet" Horn!
