Comments Thread For: Arum Outlines Crawford Quintet Of Foes: Pacquiao, Porter, Ugas, Brook, Thurman

[Fangedgrowl]

Crawford is ranked #53 at welter by BoxRec right now and is out of the p4p list

i just dont see Crawford - Pac. I think we would see Spence -Pac first. Tell Crawford to fight Boots Ennis.

Porter would be a good fight too. But doesnt it seem like Porter is becoming a really good gatekeeper. Every fight is close and he never dominates opponents.

World class gatekeeper (if there is such a thing). Thought he was a bit unlucky in the Spence fight tbh and he came up against a prime Brook.

Be interesting to see if Crawford could do a better job than Brook, Thurman and Spence. He certainly won't be having it all his own way.

Just got a horrible feeling it'll be Brook next with Brook taking the bait and gassing again in the 2nd half of the fight. Arum's not daft, he knows Crawford only has to stay in contention upto the half-way mark of the fight.

Brook is not prime Brook who beat Porter. He is done. He can't make 147 anymore, will be drained too much.

Crawford vs Porter or Ugas would be interesting.

About Pac vs Crawford... It didn't happen when Pac was with Top Rank. Why?

Crawford been waiting in line for years and you want him to fight some nobody?

Crawford about to get paid with Thurman, Porter, Pacman.

Boots needs to stay busy. It don't matter who you fight - just fight.

If he cant get Pac then it should be Ugas. Brook cant make 147 healthily and he will just overprice himself anyway. Porter and Thurman both think they are PPV fighters so they both should be dismissed until they come back to reality.

come on.....everybody knows Oscar was the clear A-side when he fought Pac. Manny didn't drain him down to 147. That was Oscar's choice.

You are right. And Manny went up two divisions, from lightweight to welterweight.

Completely agree, for someone like Oscar who gained a lot of popularity by insisting on fighting the very best it was a strange move. Not the bravest of choices and how it backfired!

Ugas or Brook

The fight that makes is easier to make will be Ugas ..you can pay him less money and pay Crawford his 3million..you can do this with no fans in seat... Brook will take less money because he has no leverage..Porter, Thurman and Pac will cost to much to make the fight happen without any fans... I think everyone will fight B class fighters until there are fans allowed to watch fight from ringside...

[Calibaloc]

The last line in the article is a straight up lie. 1st of all if that was true why didn't Bob mention that last piece in the Article. 2nd Crawford already came out publicly and said he wants Spence to have a tune up fight first after the car accident. Some of these writers smh

arum got done telling us, not long ago, that porter "isnt on the radar"...lolol...this after telling us, before the mean machine fight and also right after it, that porter was their target.......arum is full of rubbish...throwing around the pbc names now again....
