Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Crawford is Pound-For-Pound Best in Boxing!

[UNBANNED]

He isn’t ducked, he’s in a promotional company with a shortage of 140-147 fighters. In boxing, unfortunately, it’s hard to make good cross-promotional, cross-networking fights unless there’s a lot of money involved. When it comes to Crawford, he is not a PPV fighter, so the big money isn’t there. Pacquiao left TR so that fight is off the table too and Pacquiao ain’t fighting Crawford over Mikey Garcia, a fighter with a bigger fanbase.

Wilder vs Fury II was lucky to get 800k PPV buys and even that didn’t cover the fighters guarantees. So the chances of Top Rank/ESPN and PBC/Fox making another cross promotional fight after that are slim for the time being. It would take a big attraction and i’m sorry, Crawford isn’t that. He is very good, one of the best fighters today, but not an attraction.

Making excuses for PBC fighters choosing softer opponents doesnt make it NOT a duck.

A duck is a duck and Terrence is like a Duck Herder XD XD XD

He's got all the cowards lined up mumbling about red lights, stop signs, and crossing the street. Which kinda makes sense since Spencer almost killed himself cause he cant read road signs XD XD XD XD XD XD

Yes, Kov was pulling his punches. that fight was rigged.

I'm a HUGE Canelo fan, but you cant be honest with yourself if you believe Kova was 100%

The ONLY possibility was Kova being burned out or over trained as he had 1 month off between fight and camps

Just because of his resume, I would have to say Canelo is P4P #1. However, if Loma beats Lopez, I'm going with Loma! Terence Crawford vs. Shawn Porter! MAN UP BUD!

Well said! I think Crawford vs. Porter could be done on ESPN without the cross-promotion, if Arum wanted to pay for it! It doesn't have to be crazy cash, but it definitely has to be more than Amir Khan!

Five division world champion Floyd Mayweather has tabbed WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. Mayweather was regarded as the pound-for-pound king, until he retired from the sport back in September of 2015, following a win over Andre Berto. He came back for a single cross-sport bout in August 2017, and stopped UFC superstar Conor McGregor. Mayweather would once again retire afterwards.

Mayweather acknowledges that Crawford is not only P4P but also the best skilled fighter in the Sport.

Most people know this whether they want to admit it or not.

You just knew Floyd had to pick a Brutha.

... Of course that Floyd picked a "brother"...

... the "news" is that he didn't pick Spence or Davis... etc...

Find me another elite prizefighter that can dominate top level competition in the orthodox or southpaw stance like the #1. P4P. Terence Crawford is a master of the sweet-science.

Terences feet drip off the mat, the slippery footwork that is so elusive that it not only serves as a defensive tool but also exposes his opponents to 'Buds' extensive arsenal ; which Terence combines with multiple styles that accommodates/adapts well to any opponent. What profound ring-intelligence! its a pleasure to watch you 'Bud'.

The ATG, 'Money' Mayweather has cosigned as should you.

We have always said this. Crawford is pound for pound numero uno and all the guys know it. Pacquiao wouldn’t fight that negro yet he fought Horn. Spence won’t fight Crawford because he knows what’s up.

[Doubledagger]

Damn Mayweather sided with a Top Rank fighter. That’s how you know he really doesn’t get along with DLH, and doesn’t give credit to a fighter on his own resume (Canelo). He rather side with the guy with a lesser resume and who’s under his long time enemy Bob Arum.

Imo, Canelo is better than Crawford and has been through a much tougher resume.

That's because you don't know the meaning of p4p.

P4p literally means pound for pound, as in, if everyone was in the same weight class, who would beat who.

In other words, if Canelo and Loma were natural welterweights (not drained or ballooned up respectively), would they be able to defeat Crawford. It's who has the better skills in head to head or who beats everyone in head to head.

It's not a resume competition.

Yes, resume is considered, but it ends there, it's not a determining factor, more of an influential factor.

since there is talks of pac fighting spence, he's down playing spence now... watch if pac fights crawford instead, all of a sudden, crawford will be seen as a normal fighter to floyd and nothing special.

[Knock knock]

Crawford...pound for pound based on what? Cause Errol Spence your buddy...exposed Tyson Fury cheating & you bet on him? O makes sense considering the timing & the flip flop....I guess floppyness comes with cheating!
