Crawford is followed mostly by boxing fans that just enjoy his fights.

Most of those idiots are Floyd boys. They are pretty close to a cancer in the sport, most of their ideology lies in the belief that black fighters (american blacks especially, Floyd force, what do you expect) are better, and they want you to say it and accept it. Hating on Crawford doesn't fit the agenda.

He shut him out though and took his title off him. It's forgotten now but 2 years ago people swore Crawford was ducking Postol the way Danny Garcia did and Top Rank would never risk Crawford with that fight.

Originally posted by killakali View PostThurman and Garcia and Spence cant sell ppvs either and crawford sells over 10k tix at home. Thurman and Garcia cant sell that many tix except against each other. Barclays gives hella comp tix for most of their cards
Also, those guys are criticized for not being bigger draws. The question is why is everyone else criticized except for Bud??? Bud is the only one getting a pass here. I ain't saying the others are draws, I'm saying none of them are. Yet, Bud is always held to a different standard. When Canelo put on 20 pounds from weigh-in until the fight, he was constantly criticized for it. Bud has done the same thing, and no one says anything.
Mikey, despite being much smaller, moved up to 140 and beat AB and Lipinets. Equally as impressive as Postol and Indongo. Yet, Mikey is criticized and Bud is praised.
Its not that other fighters are bigger draws or anything like that. It is Bud never being held to the same standards as everyone else.

probably because Crawford fans don't go around calling the atg 140-147 guy and claiming he beats hearns leonard duran etc........also don't think ive heard Crawford trainer claim he beats everyone at 154 either
