Comments Thread For: Arum, Crawford To Meet Next Month To Discuss His Next Fight

[factsarenice]

Crawford beats Garcia and Thurman easy and I think everyone will agree on that. Porter is strong and a difficult style for anyone but I think we can agree that Crawford wins on points. None of those guys would be favored against Crawford, they'd all be variations of a Jose Benavidez/Jeff Horn repeat. Manny isn't fighting Spence or Crawford and Errol doesn't want to mix it up with Crawford. What I'm saying is that if you look closer at Crawford...Errol Spence is the only guy I want to see Bud fight.

CRAWFORD won't be fighting SPENCE,THURMAN,PAC,PORTER,GARCIA because he's stuck with Top Stank.

... they'll wait until he's 35 yo and then state that he's got a shit resume and that he fought nobody...

I suspect you are right. They'll all sidestep Crawford, even if it means a lot less money.

Thats Funny because crawford CHOSE to re-sign with top rank when he KNEW the best guys to fight for his resume and legacy WERENT with top rank. He knew all along that all Top Rank had was either unknown unranked or completely shot welterweights in their stable. He wants big paydays for easy opposition.


Crawford fan boys are really funny

Enjoy Crawford vs Mike alvarado on espn+ lmao

Why not?



Quality fight, that. Especially since Collazo is rugged and durable. He might quit if Crawford low blows him though.



Wrong. Arum is pissed off because Crawford has asterisks and can't seem to get a clear, clean crisp victory at 147. Even against a guy who allegedly has a "glass jaw".



Pretty sure Khan and Horn are both independent and not with either promoter. Khan works more with Haymon but I'm fairly certain Haymon doesn't actually promote him. Same with Horn vs. Arum.

Either way, look at that list of quality names Crawford could be fighting from Arum's stable.



Quality fight.

At this stage in Crawford's career Collazo is a clear 2 steps back. Trash fight.

At this stage in Crawford's career Collazo is a clear 2 steps back. Trash fight.

How do you figure? What are you basing that on?

Collazo is coming off a two-year win streak and if he beats Benavidez like he's expected to, he'll have won his last four fights.

If he takes Benavidez out faster than 12, he'll have done better than Crawford against a mutual opponent at 147.

And unlike Crawford, Collazo's been in the ring with some of the best boxers of the modern era. Even in loss, at least he was smart enough not to stay on the "other side of the street".

Fight sells itself as credible.

Or are you overrating what Crawford has done at 147 and believe he somehow has earned more than a Collazo fight?

Because I'll tell you this. Just like Ward agreed with me. If Crawford can't get a CLEAR win over someone like Collazo, he's not P4P.

Spence doesn’t want the fight??? According to who??? Go to Youtube, Bro. Spence said it in the press conference and in an interview that he wants all the top welterweights, and he included Crawford. Spence doesn’t have a defining victory because he has ten less fights than Bud. Yet there were those saying Mikey was too smart for him and was going to get the upset. Mikey was undefeated and top p4p great fighter until Spence whitewashed him. He also went to England and took the title from Brook. If he beats Porter and Pacquiao and then goes up to 154 and wins a title, people will not be as disappointed with the fact he doesn’t fight Bud. Who does Bud have lined up??? I love Crawford as a fighter but he screwed up by resigning with TR. Business is business whether u like it or not. The PBC can make tons of money having Spence fight guys on their side of the street. Once again, who does Crawford have??? There’s no ducking going on, just smart business. And if Bud was all about business and legacy, he would have signed with the company that has all the top welterweights. PERIOD! POINT BLANK!

Cut the Sh#t Arum it is Mean Machine Edigieous Kavalaalalias whatever his name is because that is what is available and AFFORDABLE

I feel any fight can be made...if you're willing to pay up and make the full investment. Going to have to severely overpay to get guys to go over for Crawford. Should've held on to that damn $5 Million they wasted on Khan and added a little more to it to get at Current Top Welterweight to come fight Crawford honestly

Now most of the budget over on ESPN is reserved for Tyson Fury to make $15 Million or whatever to beat on guys like Schwarz and Otto Wallin

Leaving Crawford fighting guys like Mean Machine, Alexander Bes*****, Amir Imam and Louis Collazo while waiting for Spence Jr to Unify with Porter and Potentially Pacquiao IF he beats Porter of course
