    Why does Crawford get a cherry picking pass?

    The guys welterweight resume is pure dog **** for a supposed top p4p fighter and welterweight. Jeff Horn, peg legged Jose Benavidez, and washed up Amir Khan(who he had to lowblow). His next fight is against a guy most don't know of and can't pronounce his name lol.

    When will Crawford get called out for bum hunting? He's the biggest cherry picker at welterweight since Manny Pacquiao was at Top Rank. And he's surpassed the Algieri and Rios cherry picks. Berto would be Crawford's top welterweight win if they fought now... That's how pathetic his resume is. But he supposedly wants da smoke doe. His actions prove otherwise that he really wants easy fights for good $

    Hes stuck since he resigned with Arum.

    Signing with Arum could be considered an act of ducking in itself since he knew the landscape but other than that he is stuck now.

      To be fair, its hard to expect Crawford haters to pronounce Egidijus Kavaliauskas when most can't pronounce ask.

      The PBC guys could be fighting him anytime they want if they pushed the issue. They don't seem interested in pushing the issue.

          He's fought everyone they put in front of him and the next guy he's fighting is a beast too, go check him out.

          Who else is there to fight in his division? The only guy was spence, the guy became a fkn alcoholic and nearly killed himself.

          You wanna blame Crawford for that as well.

          There's no one else to fight, not sure why the hate against a guy who's easily a p4p fighter

            Crawford is an overhyped bum with a hoodrat family.

              It's because people hate PBC. If bud was with PBC and Top Rank had all the top welters, then people would lose their sht and call Crawford the biggest cherry picker of all time.

              Look at the hate Danny is getting for his next opponent, despite the fact we all know he's lined up to face either Spence in the summer or pac in the spring. Meanwhile, Crawford is lined up for another cherry after the cherry this weekend

                He cleared out a division, and there hasn’t been much else for him to compete unless he gets in with some PBC fighters.
                Don’t ever compare his resume to Manny’s, Manny took on all challengers didn’t cherry pick. Even fought guys multiple times.

                Crawford knows after this fight he’ll need to fight great comp, or his career will be at a standstill.

                  I have literally been saying this for several yrs & getting flamed for it by many on here. I make predictions about fighters careers so that when it comes true those denying it at the time would hopefully realize fighters true motives, & like in Buds case he has completely proven me right as the yrs go by. Hes 32 yrs old & as soon as he loses his diehard defenders will say whomever beat him only beat him because" he was old doe,a prime bud would have won". I have for several yrs said that Crawford would be in his mid 30s before he fights anyone good at ww.(good by my definition is someone whom is not a 30-1 dog like Crawford's entire ww resume)


                  Bottom line is Crawford has every step of the way demonstrated hes happy making tons of money vs C/D levels because it also means he gets to erroneously be called p4p king & play dressup wbo champ while avoiding the possibility of losing

                  Its LITERALLY been like a good 5 yrs since I have been saying that whenever fighters sign to top rank they are basically admitting they want the easiest career path possible while the espn machine overhypes their wins eternally,& so far only Loma is doing anything of note on espn(& Beterbieve finally is merely because hes not a draw so Arum is rolling the dice)

                    Its a shame buds sweat pea like talent will be remembered as having never realized true potential (just like sweat pea imho who should've accomplished more than he did but bud won't even be remembered like Whitaker imho because he let Arum waste his career & Whitaker had legendary fights vs atgs)
