Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford is Equal if Not Better Than Sugar Ray Leonard

[Noelanthony]

Who tf has crawford beat???? A Past prime midget gamboa???? This dude has fought NOBODY and gets put on a pedestal....we all know why....

Nope I don’t . Tell us why??

[MDPopescu]

Crawford is highly skilled boxer who can fight on the retreat or going forward....a real sharp shooter and when faced against a fighter with zero defence and poor boxing tecnique he will look like superman....basically lets not get carried away because he beat jeff horn.
Sugar ray leonard in my opinion has no equal.

... I don't really understand why people compare today fighters with "historical" ones... but the guy is a promoter, right?

Bob Arum has Egidijus "The Mean Machine" Kavaliauskas and Jose Benavidez in his stable @ 147! I don't think anyone wants to see Crawford fighting either of them, but it is what it is! If you haven't seen the "Mean Machine" highlights on YouTube, you're missing out! He looks like a legit contender!

haha come on. I rate Crawford but he hasn't fought an A level fighter yet, not even close.

I do think Crawford is probably an elite talent but we have seen guys that looked special before until they really fight top level guys.

I'll reserve my judgement until he's beating guys better than Horn, Postol etc..

Yes arum is...and i remember him speaking this about tommy hearns,marvin hagler,mayweather and pacquiao but i think the big difference to the statement about crawford is that he still has to beat HOF mate.

... but isn't Arum planning to give Bud a HOF in Pacquiao?...

Dear Christ will someone just shut Arum up plz?! Let me.be clear in my statement bud is a great great fighter who has the chance to be as great as SRL, but nt yet. after he has fought the likes of porter n garcia n yes SPENCE...then in my humble opinion the results of those will determine if he is on SRL level. Arum needs to shut up and let us njoy bud for right now

He said the same thing about Floyd. Leonard was special. No welterweight today would have the guts to fight a Tommy Hearns.

Leonard didn't have to guts to fight Pryor tho. Just saying.

But Floyd is also a ATG.

I think that was highly disrespectful. Crawford would probably lose to Thurman or Spence let's be serious. He be Jeff horn and that's it. Who's he's biggest name?

I hope he's not going down that road. ............
