Crawford put on blast by REAL boxing fans

[Fists_of_Fury]

Asking 50/50 means they don't really want the Spence fight. No unified champion that draws more would give 50/50. Crawford has the ****tiest WBO belt and is no draw. Team Crawford are pathetic clowns. Ducking Porter and pricing themselves out of the fight they supposedly want. But Crawford's dumbass bunboys will continue to bark for their clown.

No, what you and others here who should know better are ignoring is Crawford's rankings, #2 lb for lb and #1 welter. Opinions are irrelevant, rankings rule. On that basis 50/50 is a bit more than fair for Spence.

He's not #1 welter, bro. I already covered this.

ESPN: Errol Spence #1 Welterweight, Manny Pacquiao #2

Boxrec have Crawford as #1 welter mate, rankings of course vary depending on the source but Boxrec should be impartial not being directly boxing media involved.

You know better than that, dude.

Boxrec once said that Jeff Horn was #5 P4P in the world, Luis Nery was Top 10 all time and Terence Crawford was higher P4P all time than Aaron Pryor and Alexis Arguello. They only have Crawford that high because he beat Horn.

ESPN is much more notable - because ESPN is aligned with Top Rank. Which means they have zero reason to fake it. They know the truth that others deny.

If ESPN rate Packy as #2 welter then I can't give them much credit, sorry. Packy has been ducking the best because he knows where he stands and at this stage of his career is just chasing the $ for the least risk. It will be interesting to see if Packy now thinks that Spence may be damaged goods and is worth the risk.

Looks like we are going to agree to disagree.

You know why Manny's #2, right?

You realize that not 7 months ago, Keith Thurman was the consensus (among media heavies) #1 welterweight, right? The only guy who beat Danny AND Porter? Used to be unified until he was stripped of one of the belts? Still emeritus champion which means he's entitled to fight Spence?

And while Manny struggled with him, "at the end of the day", Manny Pacquiao holds a win over the guy the media called #1 welterweight. That's why he's #2.

You can't feasibly call Terence Crawford #1 or #2 welterweight when the guy hasn't fought anyone worth mentioning yet - and those he fought, there are all asterisks next to them. All of them at 147.

At least with Manny, he has no asterisks next to any of his wins outside of Marquez and MAYBE Clottey.
