Comments Thread For: Thurman: Spence is '2' at 147, Crawford is Barely a Champion!

[BigStomps]

Thurman #1, Spence #2, Porter #3, Garcia #4, Paquioa #5, Crawford #6
I rate Paquioa over Crawford because of resume, Crawford hasn’t beaten anybody at 147, he beat Jeff Horn who robbed Paquioa, Crawford fights for ESPN, so we will never get to see if he is the top dog at 147

Damn you got Crawford at #5??
Regardless of who's he fought and what network he fights in if you got Crawford at #5 then you must be smoking that Triple D again... For real!

His P4P ranking is irrelevant to his welterweight ranking?! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! i CAN STOP LAUGHING!!!

He's right. Crawford's p4p ranking is based on his career while his WW ranking is based off just the Horn fight, since that is the only WW fight he had.

Crawford IMO is the best p4p in the world. If Thurman was healthy, I don't see how you could rank Crawford higher than 3 at ww, which in some ways is unfair to Porter because he has some solid WW wins as well.

The funny thing is I wasn't even arguing about the damn welterweight rankings -- it went over your heads.

Its ironic how these so called boxing fans keep repeating what the pbc fighters keep saying about Crawford fighting on ESPN and signed to TR! That's just a lame excuse to dodge Crawford in the ring. Why would fans keep repeating this? Why does it matter what side he's on? Spence is on the same side as Thurman, Garcia, Porter, etc. and can't get a fight with any of those guys. Whatever happen to Spence/Mikey fighting in December? It's not going to happen and it never will because it was just all fake hype! So who will Spence fight I December? Someone just like his last opponent!

Great post man! IDK why too many fools hate on Crawford cause he resigned with Top Rank... I'm sure he got paid Alot of money for it so can't hate on a man for wanting to get paid.
And I've also been saying the same thing... Spence is on the same side as Garcia, Porter, and Thurman and he can't even get a fight against them so why would Crawford jump ship??

You must not follow boxing that much, Mikey and Spence isn't happening because Showtime won't do 2 PPVs in following months. They chose to go with Wilder/Fury PPV over Mikey/Spence. The truth is Crawford is signed to TR and fights on ESPN, how many Haymon guys did Manny fight? Arum had Manny keep fighting TR fighters or fighters from small promotional companies that gave Arum options on their fighter. Arum never let any of his WW at the time go on to fight on any other network and he had to be the sole promoter.

Crawford's resume = worse than GGG's at the same stage. Crawford hasn't beaten anyone notable at 140 or 147. Let's keep it moving with him until he actually takes a real fight.

[1hourRun]

Barely a champion? Coming from a dude that's barely a fighter right now? Cool, tell Haymon that you badly want that fight and I'm sure he will help get it done then.

oh, ok. My bad.

& so it begins..PBC fanboys will hate crawford...Crawford fans will hate on PBC guys. While PBC has the bigger stable, I think TR has the better talent. I think Bud beats everyone on PBC from 140-147 and I think Loma beats everyone 130-135 on PBC with Mikey being the toss up

[Eff Pandas]

Hey Keith, if Crawford barely a champion, why not take him for your tune up LOL? IMO, your career over after a BUD Beating!

He's not saying he's not good as I read it. He's saying he's barely a champ. Which is true at 147.

And good luck getting Bob to get any big fights with Bud made. He's not known for doing it & everyone who's worth a damn to fight for Bud is signed up with rival promoters/platforms.
