The sad reality of Terrance Crawford’s strategic ducking

[JohnCastellanos]

The sad thing about this situation is he has so many excuses that all he really has to do is stay fresh fighting bums meanwhile everyone else either takes the damage, moves up to 154 or retires and then like a vulture he can swoop in and Cherrypick Undisputed in another weak division, then he can do the exact same thing @ 154. I mean realistically Spense is damaged goods and is too big for the division, DSG is so
inactive he’s gotta move up, Shawn Porter will get robbed like he always does and Pac will be retired soon. Terrance Crawford chose Top Rank because he knew he would be protected. Why should any of us respect a coward like that? Why should he even be considered a top P4P fighter?

actually the real sad reality is that the LDBC don't like Crawford because he's over at Top Rank. inconsistencies with their agendas.

Crawford didn't want to be put through the gauntlet like the rest of the PBC welters and decided to stay with Top Rank. Their whole plan is to wait and only fight a top welterweight once they all get done fighting each other. He's getting paid millions to fight subpar opposition and just to wait, so he doesn't mind...

He also knew that the Media would defend his strategic ducking because he's a Top Rank fighter. If Crawford was with PBC and the rest of the division was with Top Rank, the media would be on his ass about not fighting the best guys in the division.

It was a genius move because now Crawford has a bunch of proxy fans who only defend his actions due to him not being affiliated with PBC.

True I don’t know who’s worse LDBC or the YTBC

Absolutely if you analyze his career it’s like he weight bullied Gamboa then he moves to 140 when Danny Garcia moves to welterweight. Brilliant plan and nobody puts the pressure on him

Stay tuned for the next episode of PBC fanboys.

Yeah awesome work

[KillaMane26]

I think its Arum..... And TC is okay making money taking minimum risks

This is vintage Arum.... Did the exact same moves with Manny and Bradley. And look how their drawing power plummeted .

Its Arum

[ShoulderRoll]

I think Arum's plan is to wait for Spence to unify all the other titles then move up.

At that point they will have Crawford try to pick up the vacant belts.
