Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo: Crawford Has ZERO Chance of Beating Spence!

[Bill Hodge]

Isn't Jermell somewhere....a "duel tri"? If so. We BAN the Boxer so long as he is active. [They drop the duel-tri and BAN comes off]
Far as his statement. It's laughable only. But....the both of them are super powers.

Jermall knocked out the guy Hurd is fighting. A tough guy. Sure you would call them lesbians to their face keyboard gangster

Just because he's a boxer i should be scared of him/them? I'd fight them two skinny jeans lesbians any day in a street fight of course, and I have no fkn idea who hurd is fighting..he's another b level dude who's fighting nobodies.

Charlo is with the PBC, where they are now famous for talking about fighters from across the proverbial street but not actually saying "Sure I will fight him"

[Longhaul]

First of all you missed my original point. The poster asked was it him or does it seem that the fighters over at the PBC were so buddy buddy and too friendly? Then I answered his question by saying no. I said that it wasn't like that at all. Moreover, I stated that all groups, organizations or tribes have their inner squabbles like everyone else does.

I wasn't accusing anyone of being a racist. I only made a general observation about my experiences online and on social media about the moral inconsistencies, I see when it to comes to how African Americans are treated in society in general and in boxing in particular.

I can only hope for the day that all people of good will can come together and discuss these matters in a very civil and mature manner. I meant no harm at all by my comments.

My bad I misunderstood.I have a real hard time with how African Americans were treated in boxing especially in the30s & 40s from what I learned from my first coaches who fought in that time period and had to go through that hell.I just mention this time period because I was talking to people who lived and fought through it.I know the bs started way before and went on way past that time period.

It's ok Bro; We good. Your apology is accepted. There are no hard feelings. As boxing fans we are going have our misunderstandings from time to time but that it is no reason for us to fall out with one another over our differences of opinion. The common bond that ties us all is our love for boxing. So thanks for your understanding words. They were spoken like a true gentleman. So here's to you buddy!

My only point was it is the fight boxing fans want because it is the best match out there. I contrasted it with the Heavyweight match only to point out there is bigger money in less appealing fights on paper just due to legacy. Not sure what you are asking?

Why do fights have to be big to happen?

They... don't? I mean Sho-box has a card a month that isn't big. Most matches are not. But the big fights bring in the fans, the money, and define careers. We are talking Crawford/Spence. Do you not think that is big?

[JakeTheBoxer]

This fight will never happen.

I just read a few days ago that de la Hoya prepares a huge money offer for Spence to fight Canelo. Well, after Canelo finishes Spence, Crawford - Spence will have no sense.

Danny and Angel want no part of Crawford doe.
You're an adult. You know what is obvious and what is not.
You don't like Arum, neither do I, but unlike you, I see it as it is and not pretend like it's something else.
If you say money is the only part why it was turned down, then that should at least give you a clue.
What about the motivation of being the first guy to defeat undefeated Crawford and take his belt? That doesn't count to you, only the money part?
It's also called "negotiation" for a reason.
Swift Garcia makes $1 mil per fight at PBC.
If beating one of the 2 top guys in the division plus triple the amount of money he's getting is not enough motivation, then there's nothing more to add here.
If they're interested, won't you at least expect them to make a counter offer?

I look at it as an insult from Top Rank. If they offer someone like Khan $5 million and Garcia $3 million, it is pretty clear to me who they prefer to fight. I would tell TR to *** off too.

Spence fights canelo next at 160 and crawford fights brook probably.
