Comments Thread For: Kell Brook: Terence Crawford Wants The Fight, Arum Does Too

[LAchargers373]

Great fight which 4 years ago Kell wins easily. The lay-off should make it closer but if brook is on he wins on points

this fight restores my faith in boxing, the best fighting the worst

Did you ?
Give it a rest bro.
If you have a different opinion than mine post and we can discuss.
But if you're one of these guys just trying to hate on a certain fighter / promoter. I'm not interested.

Crawford is the belt holder. That means if he wants to fight someone who doesn't have a belt, it's up to him, NOT the challenger.

Which means, the primary reason he's not fighting Danny or Shawn is because HE doesn't want to.


We already know Spence doesn't want to fight Crawford, because Crawford is not a draw. He only matters in the boxing inner circle. Porter was a draw; thus why Spence fought him.

Danny is not enough of a draw for Spence, but he draws more than Crawford. He's also the mandatory for Crawford's belt. Which is why Crawford should fight him. A, because he's mandatory, B, for your own damn legacy.

FFS, the dude (Crawford) went ON DAZN AND OPENLY ADMITTED ducking Shawn Porter.

Sure Arum and Crawford want that fight. They always look for the mismatch. Now the skill level is prob even. The heart with both is prob even. The lopsided advantage which is why TR and Crawford like it so much is how easy they can have their so called judges manipulate the outcome is enormous. Who is going to complain except in England. I won't start with the reasons this matchup is so rediculous but leave with a question. Why is it so hard to get a quality matchup in a division that has two of the worlds so called p4p leaders? At 147 how can anyone make that claim as best p4p. Who are they tested against? The mismatch king finally faced an opponent that he couldnt manipulate and got ko'd. Although alcohol and a car won't qualify. But at least he's dipping his toes in the deep end of the pool for a change. In other words the welterweight division is a joke because of the lack of courage by the two overhyped, overplayed and cajoneless self propogated unworthy champions that don't deserve to be all they pretend to be. And I'm not talking about the WBA champ who actually does deserves the title.

Danny isn't enough of a draw for Spence? Dude they were slated to fight before the accident. A fight it didn't seem like anyone asked for

So Crawford and his fans were saying that there's nothing to gain by beating Porter when that fight was being thrown around and Crawford turned it down. Now your going to tell me that Crawford has something to gain by beating Brook? Brook hasn't been relevant in years, hasn't beat anyone of note in years, and hasn't fought at 147 in years, he's washed up, and now a washed up fighter is going to drain himself to make 147 and I'm supposed to believe that it's going to be competitive?. Your fooling yourself if you think this fight is dangerous for Crawford, Porter is dangerous for Crawford and that's why he ducked him.

When did Crawford turn down the Porter fight? I'll help you. He DIDN'T. Both Crawford & Porter publicly said they didn't want the fight. They both have the same stance on the fight.

Everything about your post is wrong. 1. It's not up to Crawford, a person doesn't have to accept the fight if Crawford's team makes an offer. He can only fight people that ACCEPTS the fight. For record he offered Danny a fight and Danny turned it down. The Porter he doesn't want, but Porter doesn't want it either. They have been saying it for a long time because they're close friends.

2.Shawn was not a draw. I don't know where you got that idea from. Errol didn't think he was a draw either. "Shawn Porter couldn't sell out a family dinner" Errol's word BEFORE he fought Porter.

3. Errol was going to Danny BEFORE Danny became mandatory. Or did u forget that fight was pretty much set up to be Errol's next fight right after the Porter fight? That fight was cancelled after the accident.

4. Cut the BS about Crawford not being a draw. Spence/Crawford sells more PPV than any other fight in the Welterweight division that doesn't involve Pacquiao right now. Crawford might sell a lot on his own but with the right dance partner he be just fine. Just like GGG cant sell. His PPV numbers suck unless he's fight Canelo. Same situation with Bud/ Spence. It's the fight on the top of most boxing fans list.

Sure buddy... Get your facts straight. Crawford the 🦆 turned it down, not Porter. If your going to come at me, do your research, not just talk non-sense.
