    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.
    Wow, your life is in a bad place if in your eyes those things make you think "we'll be back right with the world". Have a drink, get laid, spend some time with your kids. You're taking all of this too seriously.


    What exactly did Crawford do to cause all of this venom?

      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.
      Arum is who is paying him 3mil per fight. So he is gravy whether he gets big fights or not.

        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
        Red - Sad.

          Not true. The Haymon Protection Plan has prevented the Charlo brothers, GRJ, Tank, and until recently Wilder and Stevenson from taking on the best and most competitive opponents. They offer top cover to the welterweight division they got on lockdown and keeping them away from Crawford.

              Crawford resigned with top rank in fall 2018.

              His competition since the contract renewal:

              Benavidez
              Khan
              Kavaliauskas


              He renewed with top rank KNOWING pac's imminent departure and Spence, Thurman, Porter, Garcia all with PBC.

                lol we got a grade A idiot over here folks.

                PBC fighers have all been fighting each other. PBC has 6 of the top 7 welterweights and they are all fighting each other.

                Who is the odd man out again? Arum is protecting Crawford. Look at his resume. Also crawford could have moved over to PBC in 2018 but renewed KNOWING arum's history of not making fights with haymond fighters.

                Most people dont know **** about boxing and you are one of them. lol at using a black and white avatar like it means you know anything. you are a grade A idiot.

                    People see what they choose to see. They won't recognize that Crawford's 147 is a textbook case of being protected from threats.

                      He fought the best guys available at the time. It's not his fault that Taylor, Prograis and Ramirez weren't world level until after Bud left.

                      It's not Bud's fault that Al Haymon runs 147 and 154. These guys are Al Haymon drones.

                      He calls them out, because he's hoping they'd stop letting Al Haymon control their every move. It's not easy to make fights, when you're dealing with men, who put all their faith in someone, who prioritizes his business over the legacies of his fighters.

                      Get a load of this guy . Spence admitted, on camera, that he ducked Crawford for Porter. Garcia was handed a title shot under the WBO, and said they were trying to make him look like he was ducking. Thurman said he had no interest in fighting Crawford, without explaining why. Pacquiao didn't even wanna fight Crawford, when they were stablemates. Apparently, Bud and Porter are in talks to fight.
