Why has this forum turned against Terence Bud Crawford?

[CodeBreaker]

Because he's not fighting the guy they want him to fight

[Motorcity Cobra]

That is news to me. In the media, Crawford has always been perceived as this sweet, quiet soft-spoken individual with a very likeable personality. Not once has he ever struck me as being one of these loud, outspoken and conscious American fighters like Bernard Hopkins. So what you are saying is, all of this stems from a misunderstanding?

Because atleast he is not sitting in 1 division claiming he can beat everyone in the other divisions..He was lineal in 2 divisions and now is in his 3rd

It's crazy that he can have accomplished all that on paper and still have a pretty ****ty resume. And don't pretend you'd ever support ggg regardless of what he did...you'd just keep moving the goal posts like these other guys are doing with Crawford.

Yeah...Crawford is gonna have three fights next yr. Spence will have one in 10 months and then tweet out how he needs fight sooo bad lol. He wanted 4 this yr smh

Crawford and Spence have fought the same amount of times this year.

They've fought the same amount of times the last four years.

You look very silly.

What do you mean "instead" of signing with PBC"??? He didn't have to sign with anyone except who he wanted to sign to.

And he chose to sign with the guy that had nobody interesting for him to fight instead of signing with the guy that had a dozen interesting people for him to fight.

It's not my fault that you're an emotional woman. I was asked why the forum turned on Crawford and I gave the accurate answer.

I'm not saying he shouldn't have signed an extension with Top Rank. If I was Crawford, I would have signed the extension. I'm just explaining why fans turned on him. They want to see the big fights. They don't care if it's in the best interest of the fighter.

If a basketball player signs with the Chinese league and fans are upset because it means they won't see that player against LeBron, KD, Curry, etc, you can't just say "tell the leagues to play each other." Doesn't work like that.

All you did was give your own narrow minded opinion. And second, he signed the extension with Top Rank so deal with it. You know what you tried to do you ****en weasel.

Crawford has been a undisputed champion in a division and has a belt at ww and just defended it to a huge audience on espn. And plans are for,him,to fight three times '19. Spence has no past fights to speak on and fights on showtime,in,front of 400k viewers and is on twitter complaining because his guys wont give him fights that were promised lol. YOU look very silly..just stop now and go your way

[soul_survivor]

I wasn't hugely impressed with Crawford till the end of his time at lw and the at lww. The guy beat the best available opposition and looked increasingly a level above.

Imo he is a top 3 pfp fighter which only makes his last opponent look worse. He should be fighting porter, garcia, spence, thurman but all those don't fight enough so again, I can't be too harsh on Crawford.
