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

[Gpabrooklyn]

Lol sound like more delusion from Crawford,the reality is bud need spence way more then spence needs bud,spence got good opponents lined up from 147 to 160,j rock is talking about fighting spence,canelo is talking about fighting spence,Hurd,Andrade you name it have said they down for a spence fight,if Crawford is cool with making his money and retiring fine,but he needs to stop acting like spence needs him becuase he really doesnt

[Tha Kid]

Crawford has beat no one at 147 to ask for 50/50. If he really wanted to fight Spence and the other top ww, then he wouldn't have sign to Bob Arum. Oh well...the hall of fame is a long shot if he keeps fighting bums

[GhostofDempsey]

I wonder who he plans on fighting to get there. So far he isn't getting there on his resume. I'm guessing titels in three weight classes is enough to get you in these days, not sure. I don't think Broner deserves to be inducted and he's got four. Bud needs to put in some more work against equally matched opponents first.

First off you just compared Ricky Burns to Kell Brook. Second off he cleaned out the division when all the top guys had just left it. He was to late for Khan Peterson and Danny and to early for Prograis, Taylor, and Ramirez.

Yeah Ricky Burns accomplished more than Kell Brook, FACT. Too late for Khan and Peterson? Where they good then? You talk about Josh Taylor? WTF? and Prograis is nice but he like Ramirez wouldnt even be champions right now if Terence had not dropped all his titles to become three weight champ!

[Mister Wolf]

Based off of competition. Peterson fought and beat better guys. He lost to Mattysse at a much different place in Mattysse's career. That's like saying Camacho beat Leonard so how can I say Hearns is better than him.

Peterson beat better guys like who? Like Crawford once said "I dont give fighters credit for losing." Matthysee was ranked #1 at 140 when Postol stopped him. Everybody always got some excuse.

PBC American fighters are just guna keep hiding from Crawford. It couldnt be more obvious than it is. Crawford is the best Welter in the division and the best fighter America has. Al Haymon knows he takes all his Welter stars down so either he joins the PBC or he wont get anywhere near them. Its as simple as that.

You yanks should be getting behind this guy hes top 3 P4P, the best you guys got hes a hell of a fighter.

so horn and khan will?

Crawford's beat down of Horn & Khan was more convincing than Pac vs Horn & Canelo vs Khan. Spence hasn't fought the level of- Indongo, Postol, Benavediz, Gamboa, Dulorme, Prescott Horn & Khan. Spence busted up Brook w/head butt..

He will go to the HOF, but that’s not saying much in this day and time. Unless he finds an elite fighter to face in his division or even at 140, as great as he is, he will be quickly forgotten after retirement. He will never be mentioned with the Ali’s, Durans, Leonards, Mayweathers, or Pacquiaos. It’s a shame he has that mentality, which makes me think he resigned with TR strictly for that $3 mill per fight and not concerned about legacy. I’m not going to call it a duck, I don’t think Crawford fears any fighter. But PBC has all the top welterweights. To resign with TR tells me he didn’t truly want to challenge himself and was content with the pay day.

[Ganondorf]

gamboa, khan, horn aint gonna make the cut brother. just keeping it 100. spence has guys like thurman waiting, pacquiao waiting, those are potential names to be added onto his resume.

on top of that, spence has win over guys like porter, danny g, mikey g. you know, the guys that are actually consider top 5 in their division. what was khan ranked at when crawford fought him again?

When did Spence fight Danny Garcia? I must have missed that one.

[hilltophustla4]

I hate threads like this that pit my two favorite fighters against one another. I just hope they get it on at the end of next year.

I hate it to but I'm looking forward to watching it
