Why has this forum turned against Terence Bud Crawford?

[The Big Dunn]

Have Bob make Crawford v Loma so we can finally answer the question who is truly the best.

Maybe people just don't like his whacko mother. She IS getting tiresome with her stories about beating Bud with a belt and gloating about it like it was a good thing.

yeah she should be hidden away from the camera forever ive had enough of seeing her, yuck

I can't remember this forum ever liking Terrence Crawford. Maybe they did back before he won his first lightweight title, but if so it was just the few people who knew who he was.

Ever since he's been a champion, NSB has hated on him at all costs. He was going to duck Beltran, he was going to duck Postol, Gamboa was beating him easily, hell people even said he would duck Indongo and Horn. They say he's scared to leave his hometown when he made his name and won his first title on the road. They act like Horn was fighting evenly with him. And none of those people who said this ****** **** ever admit they're wrong when it doesn't go down like they said.

He's just one of those guys that NSB has decided they hate.

[bojangles1987]

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

Except he does fight the guys they want him to fight, and they decide that's not good enough every time, or act like they never accused him of ducking. It won't be any different with Spence, Thurman, or anyone else.

Competition that wasn't good enough either... But Crawford is surrounded by good fighters in his division and he signed for a guy who feeds him bums instead

We can't act as if guys like Thurman, Danny, or Porter want anything to do with Crawford or Spence. Danny's gone on record saying Crawford and Spence should fight before they fight him. Is he serious?? We don't even know what's going on with Thurman and Porter would rather play pool, hang out with these guys instead of fight them. This is why I think they should just bypass those guys and get the ball rolling on Crawford vs Spence. That's the fight everyone's calling for anyway.

think people are fed up of him fighting weak opponents, hes 31 now. we all thought he was moving up to welterweight to test himself, instead his opposition has got worse and by all accounts it sounds as if its going to continue that way

This is part of it.

And this is normal and happens a lot. Crawford comes up and he's a dynamite fighter, really fun to watch and very skilled. Then he gets to a certain level and he starts to get looked at with a sharper eye. He hasn't fought many B level fighters and maybe no A level ones. He's got to step up now. Make that big fight.

The other half of it is that other fighters' fans start to feel threatened so they want to tear him down.

Happens a lot. When a fighter go undefeated they will get to a certain point where their opponents will be scrutinized. Happened with GGG, happening with Crawford now. The fact is, if you want to be great, start fighting other great fighters well before you're in your 30s, there really aren't any valid excuses.

stop picking on small fighters and we dont want in-house fights anymore! tell bob to call Al! pacman or spence is on the other side waiting.

[IceTrayDaGang]

I ask this question because at one point, he was a fan favorite among non stop boxing posters but lately boxing fans are beginning to trash and turn on him?

Why? What has he done?

nobody is turning on him.. the 20 or so floyd fans on here that jumped on him, kinda fell back on hyping him up after the performance from last night.

It happens with every boxer that gets to the top. Its not a big deal, we have seen boxers who have done more lately in their careers given the same treatment on here. No need to get sentitive about it.

[TheBigLug]

i'm not against him, i just find it ridiculous to say a guy is one of the top 3 p4p when his best win is Postol.

i think people get tired of others saying how great he is. Let's see it against some good fighters instead of just collecting belts.
