Excellent Article.

Congratulations to Lyle Fitzsimmons for making a strong point, one that there is not debate on this one. Great idea.

Disagree.

Crawford is a guy that needed dirty tactics to deal with Amir Khan.

Crawford is a guy that was almost taken the distance by a one legged man.

Crawford is a guy where this happened to him in his last fight

I'm sorry, but #1 P4P guys don't low blow glass jaw opponents and they damn sure don't get flush two-pieced, wobbled and dropped by unknowns.

Crawford is smoke and mirrors.

As far as Spence, he holds two of the three MAJOR titles. He went international to take the IBF back that Porter lost in the US. Crawford refused to fight Horn in Australia and to this day refuses to fight overseas.

That's why Spence is the top guy. He has challenged for major titles and took them fair and square, one of them in the guy's backyard. That's a warrior.

I've never taken anything away from Spence. He's the goods as well. But you're posting all these things about Crawford. In fights that he knocked these guys out! He almost this, and kinda that. Come on man! Manny LOST to Horn! (I feel it was a bad decision myself. But he lost). And most importantly, he looked like he got run over by an armored truck! And Crawford toyed with Horn! Destroyed him. But yet I assume you make an excuse for that? This is a ridiculous conversation to be honest. Almost the entire boxing world knows that Crawford is worthy. Using your logic i could say Mannys last few fights are a loss, a one armed fighter in Thurman, who hasn't fought in like 20 years (the one armed comment was as lame as your one legged comment), and a win over the biggest clown in boxing, in Broner? But as I stated the first time..... eye test is EVERYTHING. None of those fights mean diddly for future fights. I'm willing to bet Crawford actually BEATS Spence when they fight. Spence struggled with Porter, and Brook really (which neither is a bad thing. Both are tough fighters). Crawford is too crafty. And to clarify for all again, I don't root for Crawford but I do root for Spence. Apparently you judge by your heart.

And also, I wouldn't fight overseas either! Who gives a crap about that?! Plenty of fights here. That means nothing. You act as if that's important. And no one on earth "needs" low blows to deal with Khan. It's part of the game. It's a fight. **** happens. You're just using it because it happened and you want to turn a non issue into an issue

OK, then Ward clearly beat Kovalev twice.

I'm not even giving a real response to that. I'm not argumentative, and I have no reason to discuss two totally different fighters with different scenarios. I just know Crawford is good

They're not different scenarios.

You're making excuses for Crawford's blatant low blow and say "**** happens, it's a fight" - OK then, both of Ward's wins over prime Kov stand as legit.

You can't have it both ways, bro.

IF Ward was dirty and the win was BS = Crawford was dirty and the win was BS.

But I never said ONE word about my opinion on Kovalev Ward! You brought that up, and I gave no opinion. I'm not having it both ways. Fact of the matter is, when Crawford gets a big fight and wins, I'll just come back to this thread and talk to you then. Some of you guys here kill me. Undefeated champions or one loss fighters/champions "suck". And that makes no sense. Especially for someone who worships Manny like yourself. Who has almost double digit losses. I'm not making a case for Crawford having a better career than Manny. That would be a ridiculously false statement. But I'm just not one to judge fighters in a negative way, if there is no reason to do so. No matter your opinions, or mine, I'm being very reasonable here and not arguing like a fan boy.

Wow, dude. Talk about uninformed.

You just inspired a new thread, my friend.

Whatever that means.

I'm just saying that I feel like you're defending manny as if it's still the 2010s decade. While treating Crawford as if it's still the 2010s and he's still an up and comer

[MulaKO]

Revelated is the equivalent of wasted skin

Not hard to understand

Bud destroyed his boy Horn

See where the hatred comes from , there’s always a starting point
