Terence Crawford single-handedly ruined boxing

[Lonelystoner]

Terence Crawford will be the reason the next generation of boxers think it's okay to fight subpar competition as long as you're collecting belts while doing it.

This is an era where all you have to do is be in the right place, at the right time, fighting an overmatched opponent to get a belt. All of the belts he had at 140 were vacant not even 2 years before he went undisputed which says a lot.

The masses label this man top 3 p4p and he doesn't have one elite name on his resume but idiots think it's okay just because he's "calling them out".

People need to consider the fact that people say **** they don't mean all the time so "calling an opponent out" means absolutely nothing if you don't end up fighting them. The next generation will follow in his footsteps.

Terence Crawford created the perfect blueprint for boxers to rob fans out of their money while pretending you're doing the best you can do.

Who is your favorite fighter?

Really? It wasn't the guy who had the most influence over how fighters negotiate purses, PPV cuts, preserving undefeated records by being risk averse?

that never stopped him from fighting elite fighters did it? Crawford literally signed to a promoter that had no elite fighters available for him to fight and uses it as an excuse

[PRchamp]

He beat Indoungo to become undisputed at 140 hahahaha I remember how much hype that fight got on ESPN and Indoungo was bad man.

Sad thing he will win another belt at 154 against a foreign top rank champ and then claim he’s a 4 division champ......HOF hahahahaha

[Vasyl’s dad]

It was Floyd if you want to be real about it.

And for those that don't believe what the OP is correctly saying - from right here on BoxingScene:

Crawford: Frustrating Not To Face PBC Fighters, Nothing I Can Do

Yet...

https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/...-soul-get-them

"It all comes down to money, you know, who's gonna be the A-side? Who's going to get the higher percentage," Crawford says.

Crawford believes he has proved more in boxing than Spence and deserves to be the A-side.

...

Crawford understands the biggest knock on him is the lack of marquee names he has fought. His biggest "name" wins so far -- Amir Khan, Jeff Horn and Yuriorkis Gamboa -- leave much to be desired.

So basically, he's pricing himself out of fights he COULD have. Meaning there IS something he could do - which is accept his place as the B-Side and accept lower money for legacy. He's refusing. On record.

He's widening the very street he says doesn't exist.

Well, he never fought any of them at their best, so in a way yes.

Crawford cannot possibly be blamed for ruining boxing when he has very little clout in the sport. That distinction belongs to Haymon.

ive always liked bud and thought he was really good and rooted for him

but him and his promoter basically just committed one of the most egregious backtack/attempted ducks ive seen by a so called top level guy in recent time

the way they were saying porters name before the mean machine fight "were looking at porter after this"...then right after the fight they said the same...as soon as kenny porter said they had the blessing and could be called both guys did an immediate 180 and bactracked saying it wasnt something on their "radar"....

they can talk about how they want spence all they want....but before the accident porter gave spence a FOTY candidate type of fight.....and porter said they could be called to make a crawford fight and team crawford wasnt interested one bit even though they have nothing as good or better in front of them

these guys had pac under the top rank banner and didnt even try to make the fight...now theyre howling about how they want a pac fight lol
