Crawford is making the same mistake as Golovkin

[hugh grant]

Crawford doesn't fight anyone as people say he's no1 pfp regardless? So why justify it?

[CatchAndShoot]

I agree. I remember after Postol beat Matthysse the people on here were saying that's why Danny Garcia ducked him. I picked Postol. There is a lot of revisionist history when it comes to that Postol fight

Yeah, there were plenty of fans calling a postol win, and even by KO/TKO. White washing a guy for the undisputed belt is no small feat.

[DumpkinsPlus5]

And you forgetting that Kell Brook called Crawford out in front of his sister after his fight vs Khan.

Another fight Arum refuse to make even tho Brook isnt even across the street.

Thats why i was so funny with guys saying Spence was ducking. Meanwhile Crawford gets a pass not fighting lesser guys who called him out.

Crawford wanting nothing to do with fighting Kell Brook is strange, considering he had no issues fighting Amir Khan.

how is it Spence or bust when Bud wants Thurman, Pacquiao, & DSG.

If he wanted those fights, he would tell Bob Arum to at least try making them. But Bob, his promoter, is worried about Pacquiao's safety, and feels Spence is the only worthy opponent for Crawford. I'm not saying Crawford is scared of these guys. He's just willingly going along with Bob Arum and not putting his foot down.

Since GGG made maybe 30 million bucks for the first Canelo fight and 40 million b ucks for the 2nd fight I would hardly call it a mistake to take both fights and pass on fights only paying a fraction as much. He is a prize fighter, you know. He fights for a living...

I'm taking about legacy and boxing history. If making money is the end all be all of success in your opinion, then yes, Crawford can keep fighting for $3-5 million against lackluster competition until he retires and have a successful career.

I think his shutout win aganst Postol is a career defining win on his resume. Yeah, it was at 140, but that fight stamped who the undisputed at that weight class was.

Remember, after postol sparked out Matthysse, many fans were calling this a 50/50 fight, and a lot of fans were predicting Postol to beat TC. And what did TC do? White washed him.

All things considered, I think Postol is Crawford's best win. It's a career defining victory for him. It's not Duran over Leonard or Ali over Foreman. There's an imbalance between Crawford's talent and accomplishments.

Additionally, you're wrong. The fight Crawford needs to pursue is Pacquaio. Pac is highly regarded after win against Thurman and is getting close to retirement. He's a living legend, and a win against Pac, even age 40 Pac, is a great win. Porter on the other hand, is not only coming off a loss, but has spent most of his career following the steps of Tim Bradley - a fighter who is undoubtedly good, top10, and world level, but someone who loses to every top fighter.

He could've had the Pacquiao fight. His promoter didn't make the fight because he feared for Pacquiao's safety. It's a little too late to pursue Pacquiao now. That's why I believe the best opponent for Crawford right now is Shawn Porter. So what, he lost against Spence. He gave a good account of himself. Crawford should do what Pacquiao did to Floyd, and beat Porter worse than Spence did.

Look out for the new boxing advisor/management from Team Dumplin!!! ��

If I was managing Crawford he would've fought everyone by now!

Your first paragraph is confusing. You mean, Crawford, right?

Exactly. My fault. Was thinking of their potential match up. But yes, Crawford's overall legacy.

Crawford wanting nothing to do with fighting Kell Brook is strange, considering he had no issues fighting Amir Khan.

Amir Khan is a lot different than fighting Kell Brook.

No chin, feather fists, a straight line head hunter, low durability. Fighting Khan is a lot easier than fighting Brook, though I think Crawford would make a great fight with a healthy Brook.

[ReggieKray]

If Crawford is a God then he should have no problem jumping two class to fight Canelo at MW. That's the fight that should fk happen in the next year or two. Otherwise Crawford needs to stfu about calling himself p4p #1.

[NC Uppercut]

Dumplin...sounds like you have it all figured out bro! Lol

[daggum]

ggg fought 2 of the other top 3 guys while waiting for canelo and was scheduled to fight saunders as well(saunders rejected ggg at first otherwise it prob happens) that doesnt sound similar to crawford at all.

[Lance98]

The difference between GGG and crawford is that crawford is already accomplished being an undisputed champ and has moved up in weight to win a belt. Crawford has been a consistent pound-for-pound fighter who is always at the top, and his skills are immaculate. He will never be washed up like ggg. He always calls out the best. He wants all the smoke while ggg has pus*y tendencies. Crawford is more mentally strong and put together, so I don't see him fading anytime soon even if he gets older. He will definitely get the big fights at welterweight, and he can still perform consistently with no deterioration. If anything, he has all the time in the world as he is already considered one of the best. GGG was never considered one of the best, so he has to chase canelo forever, and he won't get in there with tough competition not named canelo.

[Scipio2009]

GGG has a legacy 20 title defenses of the Middleweight crown broke Hopkins record

To this day, I don't get why folks are so excited about Golovkin defending his interim WBA belt 20 times, lol
