there he goes, again. snagging up that respect.

Love that comment.

Thurman will be fine, and is still a force. He needs to knock off cobwebs. Is this a shocking thing to some people? So long as One Time is still hungry, you can bet against him at your own risk.

Crawford is an easy guy to like and root for, ain't he? Class act out of the squared circle, serious force in the ring.

This is what I like to see a bit of respect, One Time got the win and moves forward, let's see how the next one plays out he's a champion.

He wants his win over Thurman to look more impressive when it happens. Thurman's problems go a lot deeper, than ring rust. That fight has me questioning whether he can even beat Pac's old ass.

Now I have major questions and concerns about Thurman's abilities as well as his corner

[Richard G]

The problem for Thurman is that he has a big mouth and during his holiday was pretty free with the derogatory comment. That's why he has copped some flak.

“You know, I’m not gonna criticize him. Floyd [Mayweather] came back and looked good. ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard came back and looked good. But there’s other fighters that came back and didn’t look so good. So, we’ve gotta see more of him and then we can criticize him, when we see how his next couple of performances look.”- Terence Crawford

That's Classy!

Very much so!!

crawford telling the truth here

He is, and he is right. Lopez was a tough one for a tune up, especially after he has improved under Garcia.

He did what he had to do to get the win. If he looked any better Pacquiao probably wouldn't want to fight him.

Thurman looked exactly the same as he always has,I keep posting vids showing how he looked vs DSG & Lopez is the same exact Thurman aka above average not near the best ww who barely wins debateable rds because he literally runs(not at all like FMJ,Thurman runs). Lopez was just able to let his hands go more than DSG who is as 1 dimensional as can be. If Lopez knew how to jab instead of shtty 1 punch headhunting while face blocking,hed likely have won. Lets not forget Lopez has only fought 2 D levels since Thurman faced DSG,Thurman has never been destined to be anything more than a flash in the pan on Spences resume in the future.

that ring rust is a complete fallacy imho,Thurman just retired to go on a honeymoon while he hoped & waited the other welters took each other out

Though im not the biggest bud crawford fan in the world my respect level 4 him just went up a couple notches...well said bud. i know one time would nt have been so kind if the shoe was on the other foot.

I don't htink he's trying to exhibit class here. I think it's more of Crawford looking to get a Thurman fight because he looks like a wounded gazelle on the Serengeti.
