Comments Thread For: Crawford-Collazo Deal Nearly Done; Could Be March 23 At MSG

[sicko]

You been in the RING MAGAZINE top 10 ranking at 147 for almost 4 years now long than Crawford you still need more time? Crawford is fighting the current #48 at 147 in the ranking its a bad fight boxing need to stop matching champions with big name jobbers

OK but who the hell has he fought? Other than David Avanesyan, I don't know anybody on his Resume...ANYBODY!

Typical Crawfish move. Cherry pick on bottom feeders while Arum ruins his career. Who has Crasfish fought -- Nobody. He's just a joke that Arum keeps alive with these worthless fights.

Spence and the Charlos are more popular even though crawfish signed with Arum in 2011. That's why Floyd dropped his ass and went independent.

Bob at his best is everyone else's worst. Besides, what the hell happened to the stadium bob was going to build on the Vegas strip.

Porter, Swift Garcia, Thurman and Spence have fought each other in some way. But Crawfish stays on the bottom feeding on catfish dodo. What a waste of a career.

This proves Haymon and Bob together are milking this Spence/Crawford saga.

[KTFOKING]

haymon isn’t putting porter Spence thurman porter in with Crawford in 2019. Maybe in late 2020.

Tim Smith said as much. Why would Haymon risk one of his guys losing to Crawford when he can do all the in House matchups first.

People say arum likes to keep it in house but Haymon is no different. If they have in house options available they will always prefer those.

Sure, however who knows if Thurman is going to fight Spence or not or get injured again. Spence isn't staying at 147 for much longer. Probably until late 2019 to early 2020. If he tells Al to make the fight and that he doesn't want to wait on Thurman, then it can happen.

Arum is stuck here unless he gives one of those PBC a huge deal which is highly unlikely with Crawford's guarantees. May be able to get Lipinets/Peterson winner I guess.

haymon had nothing to do with making this fight

i never implied he did have anything do to with making this fight....

No, Hayman knows crawfish will be done after a few more fights. Crawfish is at least 6 years older that these young dudes, so how many fights does he have in him.

difference being that haymon has several appetizing in house fights at WW...he has 4-5 good guys he can pit against each other....crawford is being reduced to a collazo fight

[mrlopez]

Not interested in this fight collazo is old and not on anybody's top welterweight ranking. It was a useless fight when there were rumors he'd be Spence next opponent and Spence was getting killed for it. Crawford deserves the same treatment if this the level of opponents he is fighting. Collazo is currently ranked the 45th best welterweight by boxrec. lol

I agree with your sentiment & agree that this fight is terrible but depending on boxrec for rankings is wack.

I have a feeling Haymon offered Collazo for PBC and Spence to scout Crawford. If Bud is smart, he knocks out Collazo by no later than 3 or 4 rounds

no doubt that Haymon has better matches up at 147. Crawford is stick like Jermall Charlo. Actually Charlo has even less options at 160 at pbc than Crawford.

they dont need collazo to fight crawford in order to "scout" crawford...theres plenty of film and opportunities to attend his fights live+chat/work with guys that have faced him.....people dont offer fighters so others can "scout" an opponent...there are plenty of other ways to "scout" crawford
