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

[Eff Pandas]

bud Is focused on fighting wbo ranked bums instead of trying to have a career defining fight with Spence or someone that is accomplished!

Hes not getting a Spence fight now. Hes not getting a Spence fight next if Manny is down to fight anyone at PBC.

Bud's hands are tied. Even Bob's hands are tied & Bob wishes he was in the opposite situation so Al & Spence's hands were tied. Can't win em all.

Hopefully Spence vs Bud DOES happen sometime next year as it seems all parties realize thats when it can take place. But til then mfers are only building up the fight.

[factsarenice]

Lotsa mfers can fight. Just because mfers can fight dont sell a fight doe.

And I say this as a cat who is watching Bud fight if hes fighting Spence, Mean Machine or f#cking Rod Salka next.

That's the problem, he's all risk and no real reward. I hope Crawford is getting guaranteed money.

You're trying to blame Haymon for Top Rank's inability to land credible legacy opposition for Crawford.

Keep in mind that Top Rank is also lining up obscure bums for Tyson Fury, Loma and various other fighters.

Meanwhile Haymon is at least securing competitive and/or interesting matchups.

If you're gonna talk about giving the benefit of doubt...

The Robinson draw was BS. Robinson slapped and ran all night against Egis. He got a draw as a gift in his home town. Drawing any conclusions from the Robinson fight to the Crawford fight only shows how ****** people are. Crawford is correct in his levelheaded response that this fight against Egis is not easy. Egis can ko Crawford with 1 punch. Egis decently quick and can fight.

I think people are just more surprised that the guy righting Crawford isnt even coming off a win and Robinson hasnt won a fight in years if if I recall. I’d have to look it up but honestly...why?

People expect more of Bud, as they should seeing as he’s an elite talent.

Can you imagine a Canelo or Loma..or hell, even Wilder or Inoue..Tank...Spence..ANYONE...anyone considered top of the food chain fight some dude NOT coming off a win who doesnt even have anything close to a name? That’s some Danny Garcia level of shamelessness. Imagine the outrage.

Egis isn’t bad in all fairness. But Bud’s WW run is starting to look ridiculous and almost joke worthy. Egis wouldnt be so bad if his other fights werent so bad.

Can you imagine Andre Ward or Floyd having done this for what..going on two years now?

Love Bud but I feel like he needs to put his foot down and make something happen. Move up, catchweight, I dunno..make something happen. He knew damn well the way the ww landscape was when he decided to stick around. Honestly it’s tough to justify a top 3 p4p much longer with everyone putting in work but him.

Manny's team said he'll fight Spence/ Crawford winner....Manny makes the money, Manny makes the rules.

Sorry, but Spence - Pacquiao is the biggest money fight in the division. That's why Spence wants Manny instead of Bud, plus that WBA title.

Obviously you have a cult like affection for a promotion company. Being a promo fan is ok but it slants your entire perspective and makes it hard to take your opinions seriously.

You should maybe stop that and just be a fighters fan, right or wrong it's more respected.

Not offense but maybe you are right, it's beyond you....let it go.

How Crawford is considered P4P is beyond me. I believe he’s a good fighter but he needs a career defining fight.

You can’t be considered P4P if your best wins are against Postol and Horn.

Times ticking Terrance you 32, I’ll laugh if he follows Top Recycle fight schedule they have for him and he retires undefeated without fighting anybody............ TERRANCE CRAWFORD BEST 147lb OF
ALL TIME hahahahaha

Thurman has name brand but Keith isn't going to risk his brand against Crawford or Spence for any amount.

Keith fought Manny for the pay day but also because he was 100% certain he would beat the older, slower version of Manny.

I agree, but now that he lost, and needs to rebuild himself, I think Arum could've enticed him with another PPV fight! Thurman is worth at least $1M more than Khan! No one is paying for any of Thurman's rematches (Pac, DSG, Porter). He should know that! No shame in getting beat by Pacquiao and Crawford, so long as the reward is worth the risk!

I can imagine even worse. I can imagine Spence fighting a lightweight dude lol.
