Comments Thread For: Arum: Crawford is Best Welterweight Since Sugar Ray Leonard

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Amir Khan will challenge the outstanding WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford on April 20. The 32-year-old rejected terms to finally meet his rival Kell Brook to instead pursue one of the world's finest fighters and what could prove his defining fight at either Las Vegas' MGM Grand or Madison Square Garden in New York.

Bud needs to put pressure on Bob to make the fights with the other top PBC welters!

Errol told Bob in his face that you don’t want the fight yet and if so then bring an offer! Bob just smiled and was quiet!

Bud will fall off the p4p list soon if he doesn’t get a top win at 147 as many is climbing the ladder!

A truly laughable statement.

Crawford needs more credible wins at 147 before he can be compared with Sugar Ray.

[Hatesrats]

Thurman is closer to SRL than Crawford.
(And even so... Leonard is >>>>> compared to this GEN)

And Arum is the best promoter since Barnum & Bailey!

A truly laughable statement.

Good Chr1st, Arum has no shame. Crawford is 31 years old and has yet to participate in a career defining fight. Floyd is the best anything, since Leonard.

Yeah, considering SRL beat Benitez, Duran and Hearns, he needs a lot! He could beat Spence, Thurman and Pac, and still may not be there. I know Arum is hyping his fighter, but a ridiculous statement, considering we've had Sweet Pea, de la Hoya, Mosely, Mayweather, and Pac all who were better welterweights over the past 25 yrs

Really Crawford is a good fighter but hasn't fought anyone yet and would I put him above a prime pacquiao or mayweather hell no not close they fought the best and beat the best in there prime. Is Crawford better than Spence or a healthy Thurman who knows for arum is protective of his hopeful golden goose more protective of him than hearn is AJ. Even de la hoya let canelo fight GGG, Lara and mayweather.

Talent-wise Crawford is closer than Thurman. Plus, Thurman, with PBC, has the opportunity to prove it, but won't. He wants the entire year of 2019 before he even considers fighting Spence. Compare that to Leonard who didn't fight for yrs, and went right into a fight at middleweight against Hagler, the top pound for pound fighter in the sport!
