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

[Combat Talk Radio]

Jeff Horn!? Everybody knows Horn's decision win over Manny was BS. For Crawford to try to play up his stoppage of Jeff Horn as his best win is just pathetic. Where is Horn and where is Pacquiao today? Do whatever you have to do to get a fight with Pacquiao. You want to be the best? Beat the best.

...but you heard Terence. He DID beat the best! The guy that beat the man! His signature win. NSB says that's what makes him #1 P4P - that stoppage of Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn.

I mean could you imagine reading that in some book in the future?


Sugar Ray - beat Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, and Roberto Duran.

Floyd Mayweather - beat Canelo, De La Hoya, Castillo, Corrales, etc.

Ricky Hatton - beat Kostya Tszyu, etc.

Steve Collins - Beat Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn.

Joe Calzaghe - beat Roy Jones, Chris Eubank, Bernard Hopkins.

Manny Pacquiao - beat Margarito, De La Hoya, Cotto, etc.

Terence Crawford...beat Jeff 'The Hornet' Horn.

You can’t spin what “the man who beat the man” means. In boxing that phrase has only one meaning.

And you keep calling me dumb but you’re the one who doesn’t even know the difference of “your” and “you’re” on top of not knowing anything about boxing. You barely know English.

Haha the good ole "i dont have a counter argument so I'll just insult his grammar" retort haha stfu clown

this guy is deluded hes beaten absolutely noone in his whole career!!!!!!!

[jas]

why did he re-sign with top rank knowing it would mean these fights would be harder to make?

answer: money


so who is ducking who really?

my answer : crawford and arum just milking crawford until he eventually fights spence at 154 where spence will have the weight advantage

Ironically a few years ago when Floyd Mayweather Jr. was the 147 Pound Champion Everyone wanted a chance to fight the best, Now Crawford is the champ he has a hard time getting people to fight him, What happened to the 147 pound fighters? They no longer want to Fight the best? Yet EVERYONE at 160-175 wants to fight Canelo because most think he is the best.

Mayweather Jr. was Lucky when he fought at 147 that everyone wanted to fight him, if he had come around a few years later he would have had the same problem Crawford is having with the top guys not wanting to fight him and if Crawford was at 147 a few years ago EVERYONE would be wanting to fight him.

Classic case of right place at the right time for Mayweather Jr. and wrong place at the wrong time for Crawford.

If Crawford really wants to fight the best, he would not sign up with Arum, would he? Now Arum decides who he fights because Arum is his master, he will fight nobody but Top Rank fighters. What a fool!

Crawford is the goods, but what he’s saying here is straight dumb.

We all know that Horn was a one hit wonder. Beating Horn means nothing.

Do you not know anything about Ring/Lineal boxing titles?

“The man” refers to The Ring and or Lineal champion of the division.

Pacquiao was neither of those when Horn beat him.

When calling someone an idiot, at least be sure you know wtf you’re talking about.

Yes, Pac was the lineal champion before the Horn fight but Horn didn’t get it because the powers that be didn’t think Horn beat Pac without getting help from the judges and referee.

Pacquiao is high risk for all these guys.

Yes, Thurman found that out the hard way! 40 years old, past his prime and part time boxer and still kicking butt.

This is a refreshing bit of nuance. Someone having good boxing skills doesn't always mean they have good arguments.

WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford is hope to secure the other top names in his weight class. On Saturday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City, he dropped and stopped undefeated mandatory challenger Egidigus Kavaliauskas. Crawford is having trouble securing the other names - because nearly all of them are promoted by Premier Boxing Champions, who have exclusive content deals with Fox Sports and Showtime.

I would agree he is the man to beat, as all the others except Spence have already been beaten
