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

[fantasy5021]

Garcia is good hes not great. I really hope Crawford fights Garcia next or even a porter. Spence is the man to beat i agree. If Crawford were to go to 147 i would rank them Spence, Thurman (2A), Crawford (2B), Porter, Garcia. I could be wrong since Crawford has yet to be tested at 147

im only stating that he was a visitor to welterweight.. and lets remember he did beat provo after getting on the canvas in the first round

algieri is no pushover and tough as nails. spence wasted him. just run him over like porter did paulie.

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!

the pacquiao that had his way with bradley the third time beats crawford.

but pacquiao right now likely loses.

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

nah. ida

DSG has a good fan base that's why he wanted him & I'm SURE Thurman aint worried bout Bud, only Errol.

I think Thurman will fight Bud first. He didn't talk that BS that he was talking about Errol being "irrelevant, etc." when talking about Crawford. Thurman will use Crawford as leverage. The best payoff will determine the opponent. I'm not mad at him, but it is what it is!

has a stronger resume than GGG, yet everyone has him in their top 3 P4P list.

Who exactly has Crawford ducked? The reason he doesn't mind Arum is because Arum is paying him what he think he's worth. No fighter ever had an issue with Arum other than $$$. If Crawford feels like his $$ is good, why leave?

Think about the fighters in recent years who left top rank for other promoters, the money wasnt the issue. Hbo and top rank didnt like rigos style so he left, mikey garcia left because he didnt want to fight gamboa after being offered a career high payday, chavez jr left after they offered him golovkin and a fight after for 11-18 million depending if he won. So its not money its usually they dont like top rank giving them hard opponents.

Anyways Crawford fought all the top guys at 135 and 140 and cleaned out both divisions so anyone complaining about crawfords resume is foolish because he fought the best fighters in his divisions. Now hes at 147 and going straight into fighting a champion, I doubt Thurman has the balls to fight Crawford he will just keep making excuses like he always does and the rest of the pbc guys always do. Pbc (protective boxing custody) is for guys that want easy fights and the real champions fight for top rank

If Roach believed that, you would've seen Pac vs. TC, but he didn't, and you didn't see it either. What you saw was Bradley, then Vargas, then Horn! That's not an accident!

I really think Crawford would mop the floor with Thurman. Thurman had close fights against garcia and porter so its not like hes leaps and bounds ahead of those guys. Spence and Crawford will be the next superfight at 147 within a couple years.

How the hell does Crawford have a better resume then GGG??? You smoking coke WITH De La Hoya??

He had a draw with P4P top 10 Canelo. Most felt he won and he beat Jacobs.

Jacobs/Canelo > Postol/Gamboa x1000

Dude stfu. GGG had one DISPUTED win over Jacob and a DISPUTED draw vs canelo. Some would argue Both should be loses. I personally rank the lemuix W higher than most because I think he's a good fighter, but that's the only CLEAR VICTORY GGG has over a legit contender. Crawford beat and destroyed an undefeated Gamboa, undefeated Postol and undefeated Indongo. Again, Crawford destroyed them. No disputes.

Na, I don't see it.
