Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford: Welterweight Division Can't Avoid Me Forever

Its hard to defend TC at this point.

And i notice that everyone else is feeling the exact same way.

He chose money over legacy signing with Arum.

Why re-sign after Manny left??? Makes zero sense. Unless it was about securing the bag over career options.

So PBC is ducking Crawford and publicly saying they wont fight him because hes "on the wrong side of the street". Errol Spence and Keith Thurman have literally said that exact thing on more than one occasion.

And your takeaway is "TC chose $$ over legacy by signing with Arum".

Arum and TC have fought other promotional companies. PBC has worked with Arum before (Fury/Wilder, hello?). Its just that the PBC WWs dont want to fight Crawford.

Are you slow or something ?

Who else at WW went after the WBO belt after Horn beat the man, legend Pac? NOBODY, except your P4P #1 T Crawford....his first fight @ 147...stopped Horn, Pac couldn't..

Crawford refused to fight Horn in Australia.

Crawford delayed the fight over a phony hand injury, which threw off Horn's camp.

Manny did neither of those things. Manny fought Horn prime and ready on his turf, like a warrior does. It's too bad he DUCKED the rematch, because I think he would have taken it more serious and won.

The only man walking with a legit win over Jeff Horn is Michael Zerafa.

You cant make up this level of ******ity. Its borderline insane. Makes sense when you think of what a dive America has become...because its filled with these deplorables... XD XD XD

Crawford has been publicly asking for any/all PBC fights. Offered career high payday to Danny Garcia (before PPV incentive) and Danny refused and fought for $1m flat against a journeyman...yet TC is the one ducking??

TC been calling out Spence for years and Spence bee publicly downplaying the fight and complaining about not being able to fight him because hes with a different promoter...

SPENCE HAS NO PROMOTER. HE IS NOT CONTRACTUALLY BOUND TO HAYMON...what a joke. And the saddest thing is how many people drank and keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

Ignorance might just really be bliss

What does this have to do with Crawford and current welterweights at PBC? Take some ritalin and focus. This isn't about Horn. As far as I'm concerned, Pac beat him and was robbed in Australia. Crawford was right to not fight there.

I'm getting a bit tired of all these fighters at 147 and 160lbs.

[wrecksracer]

He couldn't even get the big fights on his own side of the street.

When Arum couldn't get him Pacquiao, while they were under the same umbrella, that should have been a tell tale sign.

Brook is out there. What's the hold up?

All this hype around Crawford like he's some boogeyman. He'll be 33 in September. Who has he beaten?

Crawford cleaned out 140, and Haymon had no problem having his fighters face Crawford at that weight. What is different at 147?

[Jaydizzle]

Too much talking for Crawford..shut up and box good fighters and get exposed..

[Boxing56]

Regardless of Crawford resigning with Arum.

He only started to call out Spence very very late in the game. Was not interested in fighting him. Happy with fighitng easier opponents. Its his responsibility to cal out and shame fighters.

Ultimately, both Crawford and Spence have missed their chance to be truly great fighters, who will be remembered. Waste of careers.

Spence isnt much better, caling out every welter except for Crawford. I think Spence wants to fight him even less than Crawford wants to fight him. They missed their opportunities to realy take the sport by storm.

This is why UFC is taking over boxing. Why would you watch a sport where the best matchups commonly never happen? Boxing has just become a complete joke. Garbage fight after garbage fight.

I agree with all of this.

That's exactly what is was about. He took that Tim Bradley deal, the exception being Bradley was at least able to secure the Pac fight and also JMM cause Arum had options then. Now, not so much

Arum had a stable of decent fighters at 140-147 then because he was always looking to bring in guys for Pacquiao to fight completely in-house.

Nowadays, his stable at 40-47 is so nonexistent that they still have Pacquiao listed in their roster on Top Rank's website. https://www.toprank.com/fighters/

Crawford is off on a remote island, angry that no one comes to visit.

Are you slow or something ?

Then why TC aint fight Brook when he called him out? Who did TC fight instead?

What was TC excuse for not fighting Porter?

Please explain what sense it makes signing to Arum who has no options at 147? Re-signing after the only other option left and signed with PBC who also had a issue finding good fights.

And Dont insult me just cuz you don't agree with me....little Btch

I mean.. they can. They have. He's gonna be 33 in a few months, he'll have a tuneup 1st fight back, another decent ~top15 fight next spring, and then he's 34. For a fighter that relies on reflexes, that's in a decline. By age 35, he wont be nearly as dangerous.
