Comments Thread For: Crawford: We'll See How Good Benavidez is Come Fight Night

[Removed Now]

Hey genius, when “Danny and the rest left” Crawford was 20-21 fights into his career making him just barely a contender. Was he supposed to fight them 15 fights into his career? Would you have approved then?

Yes. 20-21 fights in is pretty good enough. if you are elite. Others have done it. So could he.

I am not giving him no freebies.

Danny left because of Postol is what fans said, and Bud whooped Postols ass. And Bud is ****ting on Danny daily now.

I think we both know Danny could beat Postol. Danny left Cuz he couldnt make weight anymore. Same reason why he didn't want to fight Peterson at 140. He wanted it at a Catchweight

Slow going this guys career for a top pound for pounder.

Josh Taylor probably goes through this career unbeaten and he’s not even really a favourite for that WBSS.

It’s not Crawford’s fault though as he’s shown by beating Burns in his backyard.

Seems like a bit of a who needs him type of champ

So, what are the markers for “elite?” 5 fights? Two? Mike Tyson didn’t fight for his first belt until fight # 28 so given your definition of “elite” Mike Tyson isn’t elite

He didn't have to sign with Bob. Think about it. Its 2018 we all know how the game works. You just said it. You if you sign with Bob you don't wanna fight the best.

Him and Bradley can kick rocks. Bradley did the same thing his whole career. Signing with Bob is the easiest way to money and the WBO belt. One reason why the UFC is winning.

Well you tell me the difference between Bob and Al Haymon??
You got the other top welterweight under Al Haymon in Errol Spence and he's going around fighting bums... Or tell me he's not??
Errol Spence is under PBC along with Thurman, Porter, and Garcia but he can't get any of them in the ring... So what's the difference?? Fucc it let's just blame Spence too for signing with Al Haymon!
It's his fault for signing with Al!
Are you gonna agree with me on that??

This forum is like 99% hate, revisionist history, and ill informed falsehoods.

Cut the b.s.

Crawford will be 31 in a few weeks and has been a pro for 10 years.

Spence is 28 and has been a pro for just over 5 years.

Spence will have a better resume by any objective standard by the middle of 2019.

All of Haymon's 147 guys at the top have a better CV than Crawford. Stop making excuses for his career. He's been a pro for a decade.

"It ain't how many fights you had. It's who you fought." Period. His career is full of hype. He meets the eye test but we don't know his level.

Crawford's record is as good as it be at this point. He's beaten two former Olympic champs, and the first undisputed champion of any weight in 15 years. No one can seem to name anyone that he has ducked.
Benevidez seems game enough, and is 6 inches taller than Crawford. I guess he should be ashamed of picking on lil Bud. Benevidez won his title eliminator for the WBA also.

His resume is just as bad as Mikey's honestly. Two overhyped guys with B level resumes who get unworthy praise.

Mikey Garcia has a b level resume and is overhyped? Holy **** another one of the Lomachenko nut huggers. Get a life kid

Loma did it in one. It's case by case. Crawford has a better amateur career than Tyson but it takes heavyweights longer. Back to my point 20 pro fights in yes I think by then you should be taking the training wheels off. Getting him at least title eliminator bouts.
