Comments Thread For: Crawford: I'm "1" at 147 - I Beat The Man Who Beat The Man!

[Bronx2245]

Bob Arum was paying more upfront than Al.. Which is why Bud went with Bob. But.. If Crawford looked at the bigger picture.. Al would have made him more money.. Bigger fights.. Vs pacman, Thurman, Spence, Danny G.. Porter.. Etc. I would even like to see Crawford vs Berto! Crawford knew before he signed that all the champions and competition was with AL.. So he can't blame nobody but himself, the contract he signed and the money he took from That killer Klown from outter space! Lol. That's like seeing a basketball court full of ballers getting it in.. But u decide to play on the church's private basketball court.. Meanwhile u keep screaming that u the best, but u mad cause nobody don't wanna play u.. Lmao! Crawford is my dawg but he know what it is. He know exactly what he was doing before he signed a second time! No.. Crawford was not ducking.. He was getting paid! So basically Crawford.. shut the *** up an count them greenbacks! Lol.

I think he thought everyone would come after him because he would be on ESPN! He should've known better! PBC doesn't even care about the WBO belt! Nobody thought Horn beat Pacquiao, except Tim Bradley! ESPN got mad at Teddy Atlas because he spoke the truth! Bud knows he's made a bad move! This "I beat the man..." storyline is very weak!

Agreed. People like to pick and choose when wins count when it suits them.

Yep. You’re right. Refresh my memory though, was Pac #1 at 147 when Horn beat him ? I’m honestly asking because I don’t remember. Not being a smart a**

Is he talking about Jeff Horn?

Then how does that work? Manny wasn’t even the man when Horn beat him. Floyd was the man and he beat Manny and retired. There was no “man” in the division and still hasn’t been a clear number 1 since Floyd retired.

I like Bud but he’s reaching with this one.

The consensus "man" was Keef at the time.

Absolutely not.

Not sure where this comes from. Floyd was no.1 and retired, and he beat Manny.

Manny had wins over Bradley and Vargas after that, before losing to Horn. But those wins don’t give him no.1 status or any kind of lineage or anything.

There was no definitive no.1 after Floyd retired.

Bud was saying he’s lineal champ. I don’t buy into this lineal stuff too much, but even if you take it seriously, Manny wasn’t lineal champ anyway...

Yeah, probably true at the time.

Pacquiao certainly didn’t have any kind of “lineal” status at the time either way.

What are you talking about?

People wanted to fight Floyd because he was a cash cow, and the believe was if you can beat him, you will take his place as the cash cow.

Same with Canelo.

Same way Wilder should be thinking with Joshua beat him become the cash cow instead of that's my break through money fight.

Crawford is stuck really he doesn't draw enough money to lure a top PBC fighter over and there is plenty of kudos PBC side. Shame good fighter.

If this clown thinks beating Jeff Horn make him #1 I see a rehab in his future....idiot

[GhostofDempsey]

I like Bud, but let's face it, he's a LHW fighting at WW. He has to lose 30+ pounds to make WW. Horn too, and lets not forget Pac was robbed vs. Horn. Pac beat Thurman...who beat both Danny and Porter, Danny beat Khan, Porter beat Ugas; does that mean Pac deserves credit for beating them as well? Silly observation.

[Gary Coleman]

Lmao hes not wrong

???

Beating Jeff Horn makes Crawford #1?

Where do you people come from?
