Comments Thread For: Crawford: No Streets, No Line - Best Supposed To Fight The Best!

[Bullrider]

Sorry, Bud. You're on the wrong side of the street, according to our friend Spence junior. He adds, "You and Arum are desperate. I've got all the cards." He still got Pac, Thurman, Danny G, Broner, etc., etc. In simple words, he's never going to fight you.

Haymon is a huge cancer.

The problem are these promoters and these in-house games they play crawford shouldn't have to sign with a different promoter just to fight the top guys in his division its disgusting.

If I was terrence I would call out every top guy and put them on blast and let history deal with them. There is no way spence, thurman, porter or garcia can be considered great if they dont fight crawford and he is p4p the best fighter in the world.

Crawford can't spend his prime years chasing these scrubs he has the prograis vs taylor winner, ramirez and then he can go 154 and make some noise there has plenty of options.

Listen I would have love for floyd to have fought hamed, barrera, morrales, spafadora, kosta tzu (when they were much younger) mosley and de la hoya around 99 to 2005 but he didn't and guess what he called out all of them and they wanted no part of him. Its time to piss or get off the pot.

Crawford's right

All you punks out there saying Crawford shouldn't have signed with TR, STFU. The obviously gave him the most money. Spence is amazing and probably got the best deal from his promoter, but don't hide behind him and not fight Crawford. That's BS. Same excuses mayweather used. There all sucking that promoter c$ck and hiding behind him. Stop the excuses, tell the punk make a deal with TR and get the fight made. or isn't spence doing that? I like the guy but an excuse is an excuse.

[Bandman]

Crawford could've fought danny garcia by now but they decided to pay khan instead

and arum couldn't secure him the Pacquiao fight

be mad at your promoter bud

[JrX]

Don't want to hear it Bud, make the fights or be quiet.

I have posted this before, but I truly believe that when Crawford resigned with Top Rank, there HAD to be talks about how all the top 147 fighters were at another promotion. There HAD to be discussions about making those fights. The reason I believe that is because Crawford could have stayed down at 140 as an undisputed champ and made as much money as he is now. He moved to 147 for these fights, not to fight "C" level talent and get paid in frito lay chips. It was not a secret who the deals would have to be made with.
I have zero idea if the plans fell through or if the PBC management truly will not talk to him, but I respect Crawford too much to think he moved up just because. He wanted this challenge. At this point, get your mandatory out of the way then take a career low payday if you have to just to make a fight with a top 5 fighter in this division. Crawford has no leverage except the belt and his rep as a top P4P fighter. Use that to get someone in the ring.

Problem is that the belt is not leverage either. Have you not noticed that none of the PBC fighters in any weight class hold the wbo belt?

Did you not notice that Floyd dropped the wbo as soon as he won it from Pacquiao?

[Curtis Harper]

It's never as easy as 2 people wanting to fight each other. Every champ should know this.

[Sledgeweather17]

Crawford is probably the best in the WW division but may never get to show it. I don’t understand why he re-signed with TR. I know he’s a loyal guy but once guys reach his level they should be their own boss like Mayweather did. He could fight whoever he wanted on whatever network he wanted that’s how it should be.

He couldn't fight on any network he wanted. He had a six fight deal with Showtime. That's why the Manny vs Floyd fight had to be a joint ppv.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

I smell BS.

He knew all the top welters and Manny was at PBC but still decided to renew his contract with Top Rank.

Lame.

Even your own platform espn is burying you by calling Spence the best welterweight

[MDPopescu]

The Welterweight division is not a deep division. Manny is old and a shell of his former self, but was still able to beat up one of the head honchos of the division. Thurman, Garcia and Porter are C- to B- level fighters with name recognition.



Basically we have Crawford and Spence, then everyone else. They should be fighting. For all you idiots saying join one promotional team or the other, you are just fanboys of Haymon or Arum and you sound pathetic.

... the answer is simple: a joint promotion fight (Haymon-Arum, Showtime-ESPN)... now, tell me how Haymon proposed this and the other part refused...
