Comments Thread For: Crawford: Pacquiao is NO Champion, Thurman is WBA Champ

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford is not giving any credibility to the WBA's "regular" welterweight title. Eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao captured the belt back in July with a stoppage win over Lucas Matthysse in Malaysia. Crawford is looking to fight other world champions - but he does not view Pacquiao as being one of them.

More fighters should come out bash the WBA regular.

I personally don't recognize the WBO.

“I don’t see any reason to be fighting the number six dude or number seven dude. We want the best fighters out there at 147-pounds”

I don’t have any problems with ranked fighters fighting someone in the top 10. It can’t always be #1 vs #1

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Pacquiao is over rated. I remember when people were acting like his fights with Bradley were a blowout win for him. Every fight he lost they said he got robbed lol

[pillowfists98]

Of course he isn't. There are some good fighters who hold the WBA Regular "Title" but they aren't real champions.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Imo there should only be 1 champion per division.

Like Ray Mancini said "How many worlds are there"

And it's funny he's fighting Benavidez, who isn't even a top 10 welterweight.

I don't see how anyone could have a problem with what Crawford said. If I were Manny. I'd fight him to show him who the "real" man is.

[DuckAdonis]

How about we only recognise the IBF...they are the only ones with integrity. They stick to their rules and don't seem to make exceptions for anyone
