Comments Thread For: Arum: We're Going To Look Very Closely at Crawford-Kavaliauskas

[South Champion]

Ugas is better than Benavidez and Kavaliauskas! Mikey Garcia has not proven anything at WW, but neither has Crawford! They're both former Jr. WW Champions looking to be great at the next level! Mikey just has better options than Bud does! Thurman is coming off injuries/surgeries, so no shame in fighting Lopez. Until he's beaten, Thurman is still the man to beat @ 147!

Crawford was the undisputed champ at 140, so people need to stop with this not proven at WW garbage. If you clean out a division by becoming the undisputed champ, you automatically deserve a shot at a title, which he got in his first fight by becoming the first fighter to knockout undefeated Jeff Horn, and then he became the first fighter to knockout undefeated Benavidez.

Crawford’s earned a shot against Thurman, Spence, and Porter.

Danny Garcia had a worse resume than Crawford at 140, and after Rod Salka he got title fights with Thurman and Porter.

Sorry dude, but Spence has ****y upcomming fight.

Porter -Ugas is a good fight

Garcia -Granados is ok

Crawford - kavaliauskas is ok

Honestly Spence's fight isn't much different than him fighting Crawford. Crawford has had 2 fights a WW and was a former 140lb champ. Mickey hasn't fought WW but has fought BETTER 140b opposition than Crawford has and has been a champ there as well. It's actually a good fight. Crawford even wanted a Mickey fight and Bob wanted to set that up.

I agree with everything else you worte

Mikey hasn’t fought better 140 lb opposition than Crawford has, he fought a trash AB that was ducking Crawford, and then he was marked up by Lipinets.

Crawford dominated 140 and stopped every opponent except the undefeated Postol (who got dropped by Crawford). Bud became undisputed champ so easily that many thought he’d become the top WW before he even got to 147.

Jessie Vargas is available??? I would like to see that fight over this one. Good size name B/B- boxer.

Jeff Horn was/is TRASH! Manny was robbed, and everyone knows that! Zab, Matthysse, and Peterson, are better than anybody Bud fought @ 140! DSG went through Guererro to get Thurman!

You're right, Bud deserves a shot, but he's with TR, so he's stuck! Mikey is with Haymon, and he's getting a PPV at AT&T Stadium for a WW Championship! Bud, he got Horn! Choices have consequences! Don't hate Mikey for being smart!

[Shadoww702]

Omfg all u guys ever do is justify crap opponents, these guys hes lining up havent fought ANYONE and youre all like 'oh yeah decent opponent given circumstances' the circumstances are of crawfords making cause he decided to extend his top rank deal. U know what actually im ****ing done with this place...

Im not! its a sht fight. With Crafish at least a -3000 betting favorite.

[bigdunny1]

Yawn. Unless arum is willing to send Crawford to PBC he's stuck fighting B and C level fighters. PBC has 147 on lock. ESPN and Top Rank has nothing to offer Crawford at 147.

Mikey is selling his undefeated record to Errol Spence and PBC. He is going to get bullied and pummeled on national TV by a guy 20lbs heavier than him in the ring. I wouldnt call him smart just greedy.

[Scipio2009]

Errol Spence is fighting a Lightweight and talking about fighting Shawn Porter over Terence, what do you want?

Spence is fighting Mikey Garcia in March, and then likely has the Porter-Ugas winner for the fall (assuming that Thurman and Pacquiao win their respective fights and fight each other: Thurman, the IBF mandatory if it's called, Pacquiao, and Danny Garcia are the other foremost options). After those fights, assuming he keeps winning, Spence has a likely WBC/WBA/IBF unification fight in hand for 2020.
