Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Terence Crawford Is A Better Wrestler Than McGregor

[Curtis2]

No ******. Without submissions, a stand up fight.

He would literally smash Crawford from pillar to post.

Why then isn't Mcgregor accepting the 2 fight offer, octagon first?? He knows damn well T Crawford would disfigure his face & head with 4 oz. gloves then, he'd get severely punished in the 2nd fight if, after the first beat down, Mcgregor even showed up for 2nd fight. If you're not recognizing the differences in skill set, T Crawford P4P #1 vs pure trash Mcgregor, MMA style or box, you need to get checked!

Probably because Dana White hates Bob Arum! Remember Bob Arum and Oscar De La Hoya did their best to trash Mayweather vs. McGregor, even asking the fans to boycott "the circus!" Also, let's not forget that McGregor has stated that he and Pacquiao are in talks too!

T. Duckford beats down in the boxing ring easily.🥊In the cage he actually can win that too. Now it Conor takes it to the floor then it's a different ending.

I think Bob means grappler

Nah it’d be wrestler but realistically maybe not even that even if Bud has a background of it. Conor isn’t a black belt in BJJ but I think he’s not far off..brown belt iirc. Conor most definitely is the better grappler it’s not up for debate.


Imagine Arum lets bud go into MMA and dude gets utterly destroyed and his face caved in.

Wrong! And the gap is as wide as the Atlantic ocean.

By all accounts Crawford is very good, very strong.

Many types of wrestling and grappling in this world, don't conflate Bob's line with the UFC or MMA.

Bob just stop clout chasing McGregor already. Just put Crawford in a good fight and everyone will sing his praises.

You are not sending the number one P4P fighter in the sport to fight in the Octagon. If this is real Terrence is lost for even entertaining this.

I would certainly watch it but why? Bet Loma won’t be going over to the Octagon. No this is the special Crawford treatment.

[A-Wolf]

Arum is willing to do anything and sacrifice anyone for a slightly greater return for his money.

[rocktop]

Arum is desperate to make this fight, I guess he thinks it makes huge money and an L in MMA wont really hurt crawfords earning in boxing.

I wish Arum made as much effort to get Crawford a PBC fight with any of their top 5 guys. There is nobody left in top rank for him to fight at 147.






MMA stand up and boxing power are different. Conor had zero power against floyd. I was surprised Conor took floyd's shots as well as he did.

In boxing, Crawford sparks Conor out easy. In MMA if he is looking for take downs and whatever else and isnt throwing with the same power then who knows if the power would be the same and that is assuming he lands. Reality is conor would just submit him regardless of whatever wrestling Crawford did 15 years ago.

But punch for punch, crawford punches waaaay harder than conor, doesnt matter than conor is 170. Conor was around 170 for mayweather and had zero power.

Mcgregor threw none of his power shots all he did was pitty pat punch so that isnt a fair judgement of power. Plus there's some former mma fighters boxing and there knocking out plenty of boxers.
