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

[crisantonio917]

Todd, Carl, Brad, please get Bob into a convalescent home, it's that time dementia has set in...

unless you class gamboa, burns or postol as HOF i would say no there wasn't ....don't forget pops this post is actually bob arum stating he is as good or better than Leonard

... Harum promoted the "HOFs of HOFs" in time... now he only has Bud and Loma who are of "HOF material"... but I guess the "classic HOF era" came to an end...

[MDPopescu]

I remember when Pacquiao didn't want to come to 140 for Crawford! Now that Crawford is at 147, suddenly he can go to 135 for Lomachenko! Pacquiao never wanted any part of Crawford! Crawford should've had the first crack at Manny, and not Horn!

... the truth is Pac can't fight the likes of Bud or Loma anymore... He fought that Aussie only because they paid him $10 million (money that, right now, he can't make vs anyone in the Western world)...

lol ok wow u dont think buds great at all? i mean i was trying to give him the benefit seeing he is Americas pound for pound king but daamn lol u think he just good....maybe u right

Who had he really BEATEN? I am American. Stop giving ppl over zealous credit for nothing. Keith Thurman has proven more than him so far in his career.

Wow that’s a bit harsh. I do agree somewhat. His actual resume of opponents is moderate at best but Keith Thurman has Danny Garcia and porter and I wouldn’t say either fighter is elite. I know these days it means nothing but Crawford is 3 weight world champion and undisputed at 140. There are a handful of fighters in history that has ever achieved that feat. We complain of S*** divisions but who has dominated their weight class in recent years. There is validity in what you spit because Crawford is yet to be tested and he a champion again at another weight class. However if we are talking about achievements in the ring though Keith Thurman doesn’t even come close

I am not being harsh i am just being honest. I think porter and Garcia (who was a unify champion at 140lb. And lineal champion) would give Crawford a run for his money. Going by those states you must rate Broner very highly also.

Broner is garbage. Yes he is a 4 weight champion also but he never dominated a division and he also didn’t fight anybody and anyone half good he lost to. However Crawford skill set is on another level. Admittedly the skill set I talk about has not been put to the test but it’s there. Spence is really my guy but his resume is also lacking but it’s not his fault

Garcia has the slowest feet in boxing . He is too slow for Crawford. Crawford would pot shot him all night. As for the Energiser bunny porter. His work rate is impressive but he smothers his own work and Crawford is too cute. Spence though puts Crawford to sleep in the middle of the ring like a newborn baby girl

I have no rebuttal and I agree.
