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

[Boksfan]

Shut up Crawford. Thurman is a retired fighter as of today. He might be champion emeritus, nothing more.

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

iirc the IBF allowed Lamont Peterson keep the IBF title he 'won' from Amir Khan, despite him testing positive for PEDs in the aftermath of the fight. Where's the integrity in that? WBA returned the title to Khan and I believe they wanted it changed to a NC.

As much as I hate all this super, regular, and interim championship bs, Thurman is not the champ. You can't be inactive for over a year and a half with no fight coming up and remain champion.

Absolutley correctct he really needs to fight Thurman that would be an epic fight. Pac man does nothing for crawford right now

This exactly. That's what's wrong with boxing.

how about you stop making excuses for him? crawford is an adult. he can say and do what he wants. if he wants to continue fighting bums then call him out on it like you do to the other guys.

he'll never call him out on it.

Postol, Indongo were not bums. He only fought Horn because Manny ducked him. If Manny would man up and fight him, he wouldn't have to fight Benavidez now.

As for calling him on it, I did in the thread where he resigned with TR, clearly stating that if he can't get the fights he wanted, that is on him.

Dramshow must've forgot. You were banned.

It doesn't surprise me that 2 guys that don't really like the sport are not upset that Bob will not match his 2 best ww in a unification fight.

If he is too scared to fight Crawford, at least put your bogus belt up against Thurman the real WBA champ, if he comes back.

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

Lmao really? He sure does talk like one. Is he ranked by any of the organizations?

As far as Im concerned Thurman is completely out of the ww equation until he steps in the ring. until then they shoud just remove him from the rankings and then place him back on after he wins or loses his next fight

Crawford is pathetic.. all he does is howl to the moon about fighting real competition.. and then cherry picks scabs who pose zero credible threat.. Pac man is the real champ, Thurman hasn’t fought in HOW LONG? He should be completely stripped.. Why is Crawford worried about it? He sounds butt hurt even comparing it to a SILVER strap.. upset he will never be a superstar on the level of Pac Man.. upset Pac Man about to get another massive pay day..
