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

[Removed Now]

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??

Well Spence just did a title defense that's mandatory. Danny is tied up, porter is tied up, Keith is injured so he is side lined by dates. Crawford is sideline with bums besides of top rank. Can we agree with this? The difference with AL and Bob is al has all the good fighters under him so if you want to be the top welterweight you have to fight al Harmon fighters which Bob will most likely block unless it's ppv.

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.

Are we seriously giving him credit fighting a mis match gamboa? For real? His fans are really out here today.

Crawford talks big fights and fights mediocre opposition over and over. One of the worst resumes for a 30 year old in boxing history. Even GGG had a better resume at this point.

Do you realize just how many boxers have ever fought and past the age of 30? The % of them that can say they became undisputed in one division and cleaning out another is very small.

You can say he doesn't have any great wins or names on his resume and you'd be right but to suggest it's in a "worst" category is asinine.

It's debatable if GGG up until now has a better resume than Bud let alone when he was 30.

Why would anybody be jealous of a fighter? Just wondering? We're not boxers lol

I don't understand that. And that Gamboa fight was a fraud. Which is why the fight wasn't sanctioned. Let's live in reality here. Dude will be 31 in a few weeks and his career is very light.

The Gamboa fight was a fraud? Lmao.

[Raggamuffin]

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

If Danny left because he couldn't make 140 anymore then why say Bud only won and became undisputed at 140 because Danny left 140 lmao...!!!??? Doesn't make sense does it?

I'm looking forward to this fight. JB will give Crawford a great fight

At the time it was a good win. Mismatch because of what, 2.5 inches in height? Gamboa already had moved up, and beat a prime Salido. After that Gamboa took the Super Featherweight title from George Solis. They had identical records at the time. Gamboa was off for over a year, so not very active was the negative.

At the time the odds were just under 2:1 in favor of Crawford. I'm not saying Gamboa is great, but at the time it was an acceptable fight.

It would be like someone now comparing Floyd vs Guerrero or Ortiz. Mismatch! AT THE TIME they seemed formidable, but not now. Hind sight.

The Gamboa fight was a fraud? Lmao.

You didn't know the fight wasn't santioned and Top Rank pushed it through anyway? lol

There are a few articles about the shady circumstances around that fight.

It does. It's called waiting it out. He could had fought Danny at any time if he wanted. Just what Khan did to Kell Brook. Just like what everybody in 147 is going to do to Spence. We already know which fighters are going to leave the division Cuz they having trouble with weight. Crawford would not be undisputed champion, if Danny , Khan, Peterson and Lucas was still at 140. I will not even unity his 147 WBO belt until 2020 at this rate. Remember this comment.

Crawford was a natural bigger man and yes that difference in height with Crawford reach made the difference.
