Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Don't Need Spence; Going To HOF With Or Without Him

That's right Bud tell the f@#king facts.

At best he is a 2 division champion. His wins at welterweight has alot of asterisks attached to it.

Maybe you'll be HOF....but not in 50 years.

HOF ain’t no big deal. They put everyone who’s popular in it.

Bud ain't even that popular tbh. Especially with PPV buyers

ARUM always knew CRAWFORD would crush PAC so he avoided making the fight.

It's on Crawford to do something. Pac already has a HOF career. I don't buy that Arum was protecting Pac. He staged a Horn "victory" so that he could get another trilogy like we saw with Bradley. A trilogy nobody wanted. Anyway, staying with Arum does nothing for Crawford. I'm not a PBC cheerleader, but in this case, if he wants the fights, Crawford knows where to go.

Wait hold up...Say what?? Who has Bud fought at WW? Lets be honest here.

If Bud intends on going to the HOF, he is going to need to leave TOP RANK or some name brand welters or going to have to leave PBC and go to TR.

At the end of the day, Bud made his bed...Now he is going to have to lie in it. Sad case of wasted talent at this point.

If Crawford wants to fight Spence, why sign with Bob.

This is my question. Im a big Crawford fan but if anybody ducked the fight its Crawford.

Lol you can’t make comments like these in the MLB or NBA or NFL...hall of fame is really hard to get into in any other sport, it’s not certain. In boxing, you’re a shoe in once you start your pro career. Basically don’t completely suck so bad as a boxer and you’re in. It’s a weird comment to make by Bud but he’s probably right too. Just be somewhat popular.

Bob Arum said he's willing to make the Spence fight if the cut is 50-50.

It's ridiculous.

Crawford's PPV numbers are nowhere near Spence is.

It's the same thing in 2010 when Mayweather vs Pacquiao talks ended.

Mayweather wanted 60-40 and Manny wanted 50-50, but at that time, in 2008-2010 Manny had the bigger PPV numbers than Floyd did. So it was understandable that Manny wanted 50-50.

For Crawford, his boss shouldn't even be negotiating about 50-50. His PPV numbers stank and nowhere near Spence's PPV buys.

The fight is not happening not because someone is ducking someone. That's childish talk. It's always been about the money. Ask Floyd.

So Postol is his best win. Great fighter, sh#tty resume.

You caught up in names. Which is a popularity contest. Postol beat Matthysee, stopped him. Matthysee smoked Peterson. What's so great about Spence beating an even older war torn version of Peterson? Why should I rate Peterson as a better fighter than Postol? Based off what?

I like both guys and hope they fight soon.

Prefer if Spence wins the match because top rank offers a limited selection of opponents for Crawford
