Terence Crawford single-handedly ruined boxing

[MulaKO]

You say one is not better than the other yet I know who has consistently given us good matchups and good fights in recent years.

It sure as heck has not been Top Rank.

Are you insinuating PBC

Are you insinuating PBC

PBC and also DAZN have put on good fights consistently, compared to Bob Arum.

It must be racial, because no PBC boy is in the top 10 but Spence. Oh the unfairness. Woe is we.

Mehhhhhhhhhhh

[just the facts]

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.

Crawford's star isn't bright enough to ruin boxing. It's just that simple.

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...

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.

What's with your weird negative obsession with Crawford? You turn most of your posts into a Crawford bytche session even when the thread you're replying to doesn't have anything to do with Crawford. Why?

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

he says a fight with porter doesnt make sense and then has the nerve to negotiate with josesito lopez. i hate that bastard

I do nothing but share - or supplement - factual information in my quest to help NSB come around to the truth about this dude.

Him acknowledging that he has a weak ass resume is a start.

Him admitting that he's asking for money that he doesn't deserve - and thus causing the fights not to happen - is progress.

Him stating on record that nobody at PBC is really ducking him, they just don't think he's worth the money he wants, is a step in the right direction.

Now, only two things are left.

1: NSB accepting that this guy hasn't fought anyone that makes him worth equal billing to Errol Spence, thus he is a B-Side at best; and

2: Crawford accepting a fight against (with lower payday appropriately) and CLEARLY beating a top fighter with no asterisks. No low blows, no phony hand injuries, no one-legged opponents, etc.

Once those two things happen we'll be back right with the world. Then we can start talking about a Spence matchup assuming he doesn't lose his tune up.

Mehhhhhhhhhhh

It's just facts, bro.

Look at the last few BWAA Fights of the Year for example.

2019: Inoue vs Donaire, DAZN
2018: Hurd vs Lara, PBC
2017: Joshua vs Klitschko, Sky Sports/Eddie Hearn
2016: Vargas vs Salido, Golden Boy Promotions
2015: Matthysse vs Molina, Golden Boy Promotions

Who gave us Spence vs Porter? Andy Ruiz vs Joshua?

It is what it is.

[just the facts]

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.

Boxing was already in a serious downward spiral before anyone ever heard of Al Haymon. Haymons not anymore responsible for good fights not taking place than Arum or DAZN.
