Comments Thread For: Crawford: Kavaliauskas Can Fight, No Matter What's Said

[ptek]

History lesson:

July 24, 2016:

Crawford said, “I’ll fight anybody,” when asked about Pacquiao, who recently announced he will fight again Nov. 5. Crawford also said a fight with Pacquiao would have to be at his 140-pound division, not at the 147-pound welterweight division in which Pacquiao has toiled for the past six-plus years.

“It’s going to be at 140,” Crawford said. “It will be at 140...”

Crawford, who weighed 140 on Friday, weighed 157 Saturday. Postol weighed 139 1/2 on Friday, 152 on Saturday.

Why was Crawford demanding Pacquiao to come to 140? I guess you didn't have a problem with that? Bad move by Crawford! Now he's the one "begging!"

May be because that was his weight division back in 2016.

Lmao who hypes their own opponent

You could tell he's sinking!

Bud's gonna stomp this guy out, get paid as much as Spencer and Porter combined, then troll all his haters on NSB to enjoy the victory. He's got these dudes shook for real, Hahaha!

Maybe because he was shook? It was his division, but had he moved up, he could've had a fight with Pacquiao! He was 157 on fight night (vs. Postol), which was still the same size, or heavier than Pacquiao was in WW fights! He then decides to move up after Jeff Horn wins! HMmmm? Like I said, hindsight is 20/20! He never got to fight Pacquiao while they were under the same promoter! He then signs an extension with TR while KNOWING they have no WW Champions other than Jeff Horn! So, although I have much respect for Crawford as a fighter, and as a man, I have little sympathy for him! Oscar, Floyd, Cotto, Mikey, and Pacquiao, all left Bob Arum to further their careers! Bud decided to sign an extension!

Your history lesson is ridiculous, that's almost 40 months ago, Crawford's 140 weight request with Pacquaio...Today at 147, Crawford would physically damage Pacquaio, for life. Hopefully Pac's corner throws the towel before this type of damage occurs....IF the fight happens...very doubtful for Pac's sake!

Was Pacquiao better 40 months ago? Why didn't Crawford want that shot 40 months ago? If he was 157 when he fought Postol, was that not big enough to fight Pacquiao @ 147? The point of the lesson is that Crawford should've been all in to fight Pacquiao @ 147, as you say, "40 months ago!"

Then he signs an extension to TR, knowing they didn't have anything for him beyond Jeff Horn! Why would he do that? I respect Crawford, but he's made some serious mistakes with his career! No Pacquiao, Signs extension to TR when all the Top WWs are with PBC! I don't even know what his signature win is, and he'll turn 32 on the night Spence fights Porter! Hindsight is 20/20!

Yes, obviously Pac was much better 40 months ago as well as Crawford's much better today. Crawford completely dominated Horn whereas Horn was very competitive vs Pac.
TR works well with all promoters & TV networks. Recent evidence shows current PBC WW's & others want no part of Crawford...

You think Khan was offered $5M upfront? Or was he offered $4M and negotiated it up to $5M? Maybe Danny could have done the same thing if he A) picked up the phone or B) didn't take orders from Al.


We could have had Wilder-Fury II in May. Bob's fault. We could have had Wilder-Fury II in September. Al's fault. We're getting it in Feb. 2020. I consider it a minor miracle.

Danny didn't call Top Rank looking for the fight; Top Rank called him. It's not on Danny Garcia to haggle with Top Rank for a fight he wasn't even looking for. It's on Top Rank to deliver an offer that gets Danny to jump, and they didn't.

PBC WWs "don't need" Crawford! PBC has control of the WBC (Porter), WBA (Pacquiao), and IBF (Spence) WW titles! Then go to 154, and guess what? They control the WBC (Harrison), WBA (J-Rock & Lara), and IBF (J-Rock) SWW titles! Crawford chose to be in the position he is in, so I hope he's happy! If I were him, I would be asking myself: What did Oscar, Floyd, Cotto, Mikey, and Manny do?

When you face no name low competition of course you’re going to get paid more. Spence too busy fighting real fighters.
