Comments Thread For: Crawford Frustrated at Times; "I Don't Get the Credit I Deserve"

Keeps fighting bums and wonders why.

Crawford you need to fight a good fighter, a name fighter and I still think Pacquiao will give you a run for your money. Do not have you in top two pound for pound fighters.

Crawford doesn't get enough respect that's true, his Gamboa win is better than anything in your favorite fighter's resume

[Bardamu]

Two fights before Saturday, Benavidez fought the 448th ranked ww. His fight after that was against the 343rd ranked ww. Then he fought Bummed.

And now Bummed is crying that he doesn't get enough credit?!? How much credit does he think a victory over a one-legged opponent who doesn't fight top 300 opponents warrants?!?

I do love how Bummed says there is nothing he can do about it. All he can do is go out and destroy whatever tomato can Arum throws him in with. Apparently, pro boxers have absolutely no say in who they fight. Oh, wait, wasn't Bummed's contract up? And he resigned with TR, who has zero other quality ww's. And now he is contractually obligated to fight only on espn.

If only there was someone else, if only there was someone with all the talent at ww. Someone with Spence, Danny Garcia, Thurman, and Porter. And if in addition to that, if someone had Ugas, Berto, Broner, and Alexander, the second tier guys. Oh, you mean all those guys are signed to the same advisor? Yea, nothing Bummed can do. Sign with Arum and immediately start crying because Arum has never put him in with any elite opposition. He said Arum can get him all the fights. And a couple days later, Bummed has no control over his career at all.

Dang, if Bummed is this dense already, he better stay away from Spence. Spence will have Bummed walking and talking like Meldrick Taylor or Evander Holyfield.

P4P #1? CANELO or Crawford?

The difference between CANELO & Crawford:

CANELO comes off of surgery and inactivity & fights a top pound for pound fighter.

Crawford is a top pound for pound fighter who fights guys coming off of surgery and inactivity.

Conclusion: CANELO = #1 P4P THE BEST.

Credit for...... what exactly?

Dude is like Hopkins before he fought Trinidad. Been champion for a while now, unquestionably a great boxer, and he's beat a lot of really good fighters. Everyone's done been saying that.

But he also hasn't fought a single A-list, name brand fighter at 140 or 147 outside of a wildly blown up Gamboa, which is his biggest accomplishment and that **** was four years ago.

Want to be a bigger name? Sign with Haymon and fight some name guys, otherwise shut up and cash your checks.... can't have your cake and eat it too.

Gamboa in his second fight after being caught in the BALCO scandal. Also, his second fight at 135.

Sorry, but Spence beating Brook is better than Gamboa. Beating Porter and DSG is better than Gamboa. Beating DSG is better. Hurd just beat Lara, that is better. Canelo has beat Trout, Lara, and g. All three are better wins than post-BALCO Gamboa.

Gamboa has never beat any good lightweight. He hasn't. Not one. I'm not talking great wins, just good opponents. Gamboa has exactly zero quality wins at 135. Zero.

That Bummed's fans mention his win over someone with zero quality wins at lightweight, that happened five years ago, as his best win, is exactly why Bummed doesn't get more credit.

Bummed is the same age or older, and the same size as Thurman, Porter, Spence, and DSG.


DSG has fought Khan, Matthysse, Peterson, Thurman and Porter.

Porter has fought Broner, Brook, Thurman and DSG.

Brook has fought Porter, g, and Spence.

Spence has fought Brook (in England) and Peterson

Thurman has fought Porter and DSG

Khan has fought DSG, Maidana, and Canelo

Broner has fought Porter, Maidana, and Mikey.



And Bummed has fought Postol, Indongo, Horn, and some disabled guy who has trouble walking.

I don't know if there has ever been any boxer with as much talent and as little courage as Bummed. He passes the eye test. But then again, Broner and Khan pass the eye test too, with similar competition.

I love Crawford but he needs to drop this "woe me attitude". Sounds bitter like ward did, and it never made him any favors.

[deanrw]

I think he is reacting towards the Twitter warriors and that YouTube LDBC group. I mean I saw a few of them saying after the fight that he is ducking Spence and one of them daring him to fight tank Davis. Yes you read that right. LOL

[BLASTER1]

Hes not in my top 5

I think everyone on this board knows you wouldn't have Crawford as p4p no1.
Geeez even if he K/O Canelo you still wouldn't have him listed.
