Comments Thread For: Crawford: I'm The Best at 147 - I'll Fight All of Those PBC Guys

[SchoolTheseCats]

Wilder Fury 2 isn’t finalized, and Crawford vs who has any marquee value as Heavyweights?

So now it’s the not finalized talk when everything is agreed upon besides which mgm property is going get fight lol keep moving them goalposts.... what we do know is though that top ranked/espn has agreed to a joint ppv with fox to distribute fight on February 22nd 2020 now if fight don’t happen it doesn’t happen but framework is in place for a joint ppv that you somehow is saying can’t be done for a Crawford vs any of the top pbc welterweights....

Simple solution here. Have Terrance fight a PBC guy on ESPN and then have the next match-up (be it a rematch or fight against another member of the PBC stable) be on a PBC venue (FOX, Showtime). Problem solved.

Never been Crawford fan and never supported him directly, think he's a dirty fighter, remember him fighting Postol, hitting Postol behind the head with open gloves, pushing him if not and they were calling it a kd, but saying he has to beat some pbc fighter because he's better known in US to prove smth isn't fair, he's fighting unbeaten guys, i'm sure Kavaliauskas or Butaev, the guy that just lost to Bes*****, will give hell to any pbc fighter

Crawford is all over the place in this interview.

First he says it's not up to him who he fights.

Then he says it's not up to Bob Arum, it's up to him.

WTF? He sounds very confused. Like a ********** after a pimp has messed with her head.

I might be alone in this, but I still believe Manny is the best at 147.

Yes, the shadow of what he used to be is still better than any of them, Crawford would run all night vs Pac

[steeve steel]

Your logic doesn’t make any sense. How are the others going to run? Crawford ran, that’s why he signed back with Top Rank. PBC has given us great welterweight fights like Thurman vs Danny Garcia, Brook vs Spence, Thurman vs Porter, Pacquiao vs Thurman, Danny Garcia vs Porter, and Porter vs Spence. Clearly, PBC gives us fights where the best fight the best. Name the last competitive welterweight fight that Top Rank has given us? I’ll wait....

It’s evident that Crawford is the one ducking the entire PBC roster.

Maybe they would much rather face each other, and have a good chance to win, than face Crawford, and have no chance at all!

But more seriously, it's not about logic, but will. When fighters and managers/promoters want to get fights done, they happen. That's why they were talking about Spence vs Bud before his accident...

[MC Hammer]

If Crawford waits the contract out he might, maybe be older and slower enough that someone will fight him. Unfortunately it will never include Spence, Thurman or Garcia...they'll all continue to avoid him. The other side of the street was always a BS excuse.


In a nut shell...should Crawford beat Spence the entire PBC round robin of inferior WW's won't draw fly's. The PBC business model will collapse, PPV for Danny vs the once was doesn't sell, it's over and Al isn't going to take that risk. Even if it means Danny gets 1 million fighting nobody vs 6 million vs Crawford they'll make him take it and Danny will be only too happy to oblige.

So what is your solution? Every PBC WW is in a good position and them sitting out is in service of someone else. Porter said he was up for fighting Crawford, but Bud said no one could make him take that fight. It can't be both that, and he is getting ducked.

[Verus]

It is a huge fight anyway. And why should Mayweather fight this young lions?

Floyd should, and will, stay away from the young lions. Mayweather and Pacquiao stay in shape year-round. They can probably fight for years to come. as long as they draw crowds -- the Rolling Stones of boxing. People are more into spectacle than they are into the sport itself.

[j.razor]

Can't argue with what he said, Crawford is p4p number 1 at the moment

Nelo is the P4P King right now.
