Comments Thread For: Crawford Hopes For Unifications With The 'Real' Champs at 147

[Shadoww702]

These welterweight got it twisted, I keep noticing that its the P4P calling everybody out, but they all got a bunch of excuses, its unheard of and very disappointing.

I remember when all available contenders ventured to become #1. and came to tha the number one in the sport for that honor and recognition. Manny Pacquiao had the incentive to retire as #1. P4P beating Terence, instead he decides to fight Lucas Maquitysee for a second-rate title ( WBA Regular).

PBC boys are talking about whos #1. at welterweight, whats Crawford done in the division? What about whos #1. in Boxing? Whos done more in the sport?

Its like these guys dont know their position in the game, play your part. Its your duty to come see tha champ, these guys are challengers in the grand scheme, regardless if they hold titles.

Those guys have been fighting with other while Crawford has been fighting Top Skank BUMS for double dip Bob.

Like Terence needs to prove himself? The welterweights need to do that ; Bud is on his third division.

Who has he fought, tho haha. His claim to fame was Gamboa, who came up in weight to fight an already to big for 135 Fraudford. Fraudford should have been at 140 then, fighting Garcia, Khan, Peterson, or Provodnikov.

I mean I would think considering much of the welterweight crop has been at this division for years. In contrast Terence just fought a champion ( Jeff Horn) ; who some argue was lineal with his victory over Pacman in Terence first fight in this division.

Now Bud is taking on a former champ undefeated in Jose Benavidez jr. Whats the issue? So you guys want Bud to become undisputed in less than three fights in a new division I see? Pretty high standards, it tells me you expect greatness from Terence.

Just fought the best the lightweight division had to offer, just fought the best jr. welterweight had to offer, just fought another world champion without a tune-up at welterweight.

Considering these PBC boys drop belts and marinate fights for so long even though they are with Al Haymon, I think we should celebrate that someone whos really daring to be great is finally here.

Typical "build my buzz" statement

this dude only talks when he has a fight coming. Otherwise, he just says "talk to my mediaman"

**** this guy terrance crawford.

I have no real interest in a Crawford/Manny fight now. I feel Manny is a little too past best to face the top younger guys.

Crawford vs Spence is the fight to make at WW. But if we can't get that soon, then hopefully we see Crawford against one of the other top guys. Just hopefully it's not a problem due to most of those guys being PBC fighters.

Thurman is out, and when he's back he will be probably facing Porter after a tune up?
Porter has 2 mandatories.

That leaves Garcia. I wouldn't mind seeing that fight.

Terence Crawford vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas is next.

Terence Crawford vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas is next.

Yes, probably. Talking is cheap, but Top rank prefers house fights.

Yes, probably. Talking is cheap, but Top rank prefers house fights.

The Mean Machine is a top 10 WW. Why you hatin?

Bud is salty because Arum likely promised him a Pacquiao fight in order to convince him to sign a new contract. Now that Pac is moving on to bigger and better things, Bud is left without a big money dance partner. On the outside looking in. Thurman, Spence and Porter all have fights with one another to line up, and D. Garcia will likely pursue some rematches as well.

Makes sense.
