Comments Thread For: Porter: Best Must Fight Best When We Come Back To Contend With NFL, NBA

[Combat Talk Radio]

I don’t believe Crawford has that much power. Top Rank announced on September 5th, 2018, that Crawford opted to renew and sign a multi year contract with Arum who had recently partnered with ESPN on a 7 year deal around the time of that announcement.

Which was him choosing not to fight any top welterweight, because he knew none of them were under Arum.

forget warming up. Forget, ‘i need a comeback fight.’ forget that. All that’s done in the gym, and you know it. If you’re doing it the right way, your training is your warmup, and this fight is the fight everybody’s supposed to see

exactly!!!

You really believe fighters who sign with promotional companies have power and can pick and choose who they want to fight. Really? Come on man, you know better than that. A lot of moving parts and things have to work in unison together. Especially Top Rank fighters. You really think Crawford can ask to fight Spence, Thurman, Porter, Garcia, or even Manny, and it just happens like that. All parties concerned need to be comfortable financially and protect their best interests. And everyone ego trips all the time. I wish it were that simple for fighters to say who they want to fight and then fights get made. ALL fans wish that. But it’s a lot of BS behind the scenes. NO fighter is afraid to fight another fighter. They would have never signed up for the sport if they were afraid. But it’s really a bunch of hands in the same pot. You really want to know what a fighter is similar too? A puppet President of the United States that is controlled by Congress.

Bud is there for da taking (no hom0) Craw is aging, Porter could smother him, Danny would left-hook Terence if DSG got a heart after da quarantine yet I think Keith Thurman would be the only 1 to drop Crawford on his rear-end!

You missed what I said.

All of the top welterweights are on PBC. Crawford did not sign with PBC even though he knew that's where the top welters are AND his buddy Bradley told him that it would be hard to get a fight.

That means Crawford didn't want those fights. If he did, he would have signed with Haymon to get them.

That’s actually a good point.

I agree with Porter, when this is over, boxing needs to come back strong.
