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

Thats what I get for quickly responding without reading previous posts. My bad homie!!

What did I miss? He seemed to not be able to comprehend that although Crawford is P4P#2, he still below Spence in the WW rankings, and rightfully so!

hahaha thurman is such a savage!! and i am so glad he is back and sounds like he is ready to get back into the 147 mix! its easily my favorite division! i really enjoyed garcia porter and thurmans fights against each other, now we have mikey, bud and errol in the mix and goddamn it makes me salivate as there are some super matchups in there. win or lose all these guys are world class and their fights are gonna be excellent! i like that all of them want to be unified title holders - its like a throwback and i cant contain myself at the prospect of future fights.

None of the WWs are skilled enough to beat Bud. None of them.

None of the WWs are skilled enough to beat Bud. None of them.

And we will never find out

One thing I can admit, Bob bought that WBO 147 lb belt for Bud

Top Rank works with other promoters that provide lower tier fighters and who agree to whatever terms Arum dictates. What top tier fighter from another promoter has Crawford or Loma fought? When I mean top tier, I mean a fighter that is draw and is backed by their promoter and a network.

So basically you cant refute Toprank works with other promoters, but now you move the goal-post and limit my response to two fighters. OK.

Well buddy, its not like Terence Crawford had too many PPV stars to compete with from 135-140, but now you got a crop of welterweights that fit your agenda ; the problem is the PBC-Boys are talking about Bud being on the ' other side of the street '. Terence just won his first WBO 147 pound title, how about you give it time?

Lomachenko moved up pretty-quick, he only has eleven fights ; how about Mickey-Mouse deciding if hes going to fight at 135-140 or at welter -- you should know Mickey is the only fighter at that weight class thats considered a ' Super-Star' that meets your criteria. Its just too bad that Mickey-Mouse has trouble fighting the guys hes suppose to fight.

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

Or Pacquiao for that matter.

Glad to see Thurman getting backninto the mix of the ww div. some really good fights to be made but some i doubt we will ever get to see for one reason or another. Not a big “one time” fan, but i think he made some good points. So many people write Pacquiao off as a past primer. But he still wants to box and holds a belt. This would make a good match up with any of the top ww’s as i see it.

Thurman is correct. HOWEVER, I'm not sure we'll ever see Thurman return to his previous top form. Hopefully he does come back at full strength but he's been away for a long time and he doesn't appear to have the passion for the sport like he used to have.

Even ESPN (Crawford's own network) has him #2 Welterweight behind Errol Spence Jr.!

BWaHaahaHA!!
