Benavidez is one of the worst opponents in recent years....

How does OP never get tired of making dumb threads and getting clowned in them? Has he no shame?

how is this ****** thread 8 pages?

op is the same idiot who made a thread saying vanes isnt that bad of a fight

He wasn't given the circumstances. You and the rest of the jokers seem to be ignoring the fact he was a stand in opponent. If Crawford signed for spemce, Spence failed a drugs test and then Crawford fought benavidez on short notice that's a different story

you clearly hold crawford to higher standards than golovkin. just shows how little you think of GG

vanes retired for 2 years moving up in weight fighting a top 5 pfp guy. thank god canelo put that to bed

[Derranged]

Because Crawford isn't fighting on Fox and the PBC top WW aren't fighting on ESPN. Bob said neither has the budget for it

There are too many issue regarding broadcasting rights for it to not be a PPV. I doubt the teams of either guy would be comfortable with a fight on the other guys network.

These networks are a pain in the arse.

Whilst I'm not disagreeing with your stance on Benavidez being a good opponent I don't think wins and losses should be as black and white as you say. I actually think Herrera beat Garcia and most would agree with that. The scorecards were unfortunate but the fight wasn't just what's on paper. I also think Herrera just about deserved the Benavidez fight too.

I believe Vanes to have defeated Charlo but it was perhaps close enough to barely take from him. Vanes being off for two years or so and then moving up basically made him a useless opponent though. That was proven in the ring.

thats exactly my point....

dramadork is just acting like a gggroupie again.

How am I clutching at straws. You're being ignorant if u don't think a fighter repeatedly being in a competitive fight with world level fighters illustrates that they have some ability. It proves more than beating nobodies.

of course....

they have the ablility to lose

And to answer your question, Errol Spence. It's the decisions Crawford has made that has prevented that, nothing else. Spence didn't have a fight lined up, amd dont tell ne it's bigger In a year or so after Crawford fights 3 nobodies where noones watching

spence?

he wants a fight with shawn porter or keith thurman and everyone knows that...

is that the only name you can come up with?

come on keep trying you have 29 more guesses to go since you said there's 30 fighters ahead of him that he can fight....

how about brandon rios? Hes rated higher you think thats a better fight?

Given what's available to Crawford right now, Benavidez is a good choice.

Crawford is boxrec #1 at welterweight. Benavidez is #31. I don't view #1 vs. #31 as a particularly compelling fight.

Crawford is a 25 to 1 betting favorite. I don't view a 25 to 1 favorite as a particularly compelling fight.

It's no worse an opponent than benavidez. You just love fighters with 0s , don't worry there's plenty like you on here.

Agreed ^. I don't understand how people can defend this as a good match up.
