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

[Curtis2]

Ummmm no....Canelo put Khan out cold with a single shot. And when I mean cold he was out cold on his back and they could have counted to 20. Let’s not let hero worship blur our vision to reality.

Truth is, most boxing experts had Khan up 4 rounds to 1 vs future HOF Canelo before the KO. Crawford was up 6 rounds to ZERO before Khan bailed out..
Khan had started taking something of a beating in the fourth and fifth rounds vs Crawford and will tell you, more damage was being done vs Crawford than Canelo's KO punch!

Funny to me how Crawford hasn’t faced 1 relevant fighter at 147 and continues to fight NO NAME guys yet he’s constantly mentioned as a top P4 P. He’s a talented fighter but who has he beat ????
Porter , Paquio , Thurman, ,Spence?? Bob keeps Crawford away from ANY relevant name at 147. SMH.

Crawford needs to demand more from Top Rank as far as matchmaking. They offer Khan $1-2 million more than Danny Garcia? They upped it some, but still were about $1 million LESS than they offered Khan! WTF does that make them look like?

Danny Garcia would at least be a match. I believe they split in the amateurs, but I know that doesn't mean much now. If Crawford doesn't get a big win at welter, he will not have much bargaining power when it does come to a fight with Spence. (Assuming Spence beats Porter)

I don't think Pac will fight Spence. He will either hold the belt hostage or retire. That would be the smart decision on his part.

Whenever Terrance Duckford decides that he wants to come over and fight top welters he will be accepted with open gloves. 🥊

If Spence beats Porter and grabs the WBC belt and then gets the fight and somehow beats Manny to grab the WBA belt, Crawford will be next with his WBO belt because he has the last belt to unify the division. One of them, Spence or Crawford, will be the unified champ by June or July 2021, mark my words. And at that point in time, it will be one of the highest earning fights in boxing history. We just need Crawford to beat at least (2) of the guys, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, and Shawn Porter while Spence is beating Porter and Manny. Crawford keeps fighting all of these wannabes at welterweight and I know it’s not his fault, it’s Grumpy Bob and Al Hijack (as in Al hijacked the welterweight division), LOL!!!

I don’t know the point you are trying to make with the copy/paste but a fighter quitting vs getting knocked out cold not being able to beat a 20 count is no comparison. More damage is someone getting knocked in unconscious. Then again why are we even taking about this anyway? Are you insinuating Crawford fought the same Khan at 32 that Canelo did when he was 30? Are you insinuating Crawford has faced anywhere near the level of competition that Canelo has? If so it’s not even close. Or are you insinuating that by some miraculous divine intervention that Crawford will move up in weight to face Canelo? Even though Crawford is probably at his peak in weight. Are you stating Crawford is a harder puncher than Canelo?

I’m having a hard time following you

Crawford ain’t no damn hof and neither is Spence they need each other and anyone saying anything else need stop drinking that kool aid

^^^This!!!

This is a good example of getting the cart before the horse.

Neither Crawford nor Spence have done enough to earn a spot in the HOF. They both have much work to do.

When Pac saw that Arum couldn't get him the best fighters in his weight class, he switched to the promotional company that could. He was already HOF bound. That's what a great fighter does. Crawford knows what he has to do to get the best fights

Amen.... Crawford should follow pac, if he go to the PBC there's no reason that he can't fight a top 5 ww opponent....

[pasawayako]

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

Funniest comment i read today....

My point is, Crawford was doing more damage, winning more rounds to Khan @ 147 than Canelo was doing & winning to Khan @ 155. I get it, Khan was KO'd, so what, that's what was expected from a 155# Canelo catch weight, probably 175# on fight day. Again, Khan was winning rounds vs Canelo and taking a beating from Crawford through 5 rounds. Doesn't that tell you why Kahn bailed out vs Crawford?
