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

[rickJen]

Oh yes they can avoid you forever.
Even if they can't, you have to wait years.
Meanwhile, who are you going to fight while waiting?

Kell Brook is the only one without promotional issues at this point.
Either you fight him now or you'll end up waiting for PBC guys for 2 or more years.

It's funny how many people on NSB whined about Ward going borderline low on Kov and discredit those wins, yet Crawford goes BLATANT low on a guy with allegedly a glass jaw and people make excuses.

I said it before, I'll keep saying it.

Terence Crawford is smoke and mirrors.

I guess time will tell. I'll say this much, if Crawford beats one top PBC fighter at 147, he beats them all. It would seriously undermine Haymon's decade long round robin at that weight. The fact that Pac beat Thurman makes me think Porter, Garcia, Thurman, and Spence aren't as good as advertised. It's the PBC fighters at that weight who are using smoke and mirrors. See how they only fight each other?

Pure delusion and a clear hatred of Al Haymon fueled that post.

Nobody ducking Bud. He just wants people to bend to his every whim. Thats not how it works.
He has to give a little. He don't wanna accept B side terms. But he also don't wanna sign to anyone else but TR.
TR has its business plan for its fighters & PBC has its business plans for its fighters. Just because TR is weak right now and hurting for great matchups, don't mean PBC has to throwaway their whole business plan to help them out. It's business and leverage is leverage. Bud chose to re-sign with Bobby who no doubt wants his chunk of revenue generated from any fights. Making negotiations extremely hard to finalize. Bud chose the security of the paychecks a desperate Bobby gave him, rather the risky make-it or break-it legacy fights at PBC.
Nothing wrong with that BUT that decision comes with the addendum that fights with other brands are now harder to make, that includes PBC. Arum ain't giving Bud +3 million a fight for no reason, he expects his share of profit.

Too bad he's too ****** to accept the Porter fight, because winning that clearly with no asterisks would elevate Crawford.

Exactly as I thought - no substance to anything you say. Just a politically correct coward and probably a race-baiting, self-righteous sanctimonious Mangina.

Oh, and by the way: Your #1. "things to remember"...1. Single moms are the laziest, most destructive creatures on earth. Another perfect example of your ignorance....did you get beyond the 5th grade in school? I doubt it!

last i checked you resigned with a *** who has no star-fighters in his stable at ww and whom everyone has said is a con artist and liar instead of signing with a black man who is well-respected by every fighter who has worked with him in haymon. Stop crying about not having opponents when you've wasted your career fighting mediocre opposition your entire career and now you're pushing your mid-30s will be there before this covid-19 pandemic dies down and live crowds come back.

stop trying to justify the other ww's ducking him just because he didn't sign with haymon.

Porter is on record 2 weeks ago saying "I don't know if the Crawford fight makes sense right now". Who's too ******? This is Porter 2 weeks ago.

I like plenty of Haymon fighters, just not his ball-less welterweights.

He's talking about COVID - unlike Crawford, he knows the money won't be there without fans.

Let's talk about what Crawford said BEFORE COVID:
