Comments Thread For: Timothy Bradley To Terence Crawford: Time Off is Time Wasted

[Ray*]

Crawford might not take kindly to what his mate just said here. He always seems very defensive about everything.

“These guys have to sit down, speak with their promoters and find a plan to come back,” Bradley said. “Because they are being lost. You don’t hear the name ‘Bud’ Crawford anymore."

Yes we do, Tim. That's not fair. We hear Crawford's name all the time complaining about taking pay cuts.

Wow. Really ? He dropped or stopped his last 13 opponents, 4 of which were reigning and defending champions. I know he is lacking some marquee names on his resume, but damn. That’s kind of harsh. Dude has skills and is a finisher in the ring.

He has a boring style though in my personal opinion and I wouldn’t miss him at all. But hey some people enjoy some styles others don’t it’s all gravy

He's right.
If the market changes you don't necessarily make the same $.
same in any trade

[NachoMan]

You know that is exactly what he's going to do.

I always felt that Bradley's career was a disappointment, based off of the potential fights we didn't see him in.

Bud is going to eclipse that.

TC fan, but he's got lots of catching up to do then.

It's painful to see sometimes the haye that Crawford gets. He hasn't fought the marquee names that everyone wants to see him fight, but to make it seem like alot of the guys he's fought are bums is ridiculous. He'sfought some of the most solid contenders/champions available in his divisions to him and he has found ways to make them look lesser than what they really are and stopped most of them when they have never been stopped or undefeated. The man's IQ and skills are amazing and it's undeniable watching him solve everybody he's fought up to this point. Just hoping he really gets a marquee matchup done sometime soon just like everyone else.

Boxers often don't appreciate this is a career that's burning daylight til their in the evening of their career. Most of the legends of the sport were past their best at 32 years old. Idk that most folks in the game think about that or perhaps even realize it.

[theface07]

Completely agree with Bradley, but if Crawford never fought again, he wouldn't be missed.

Speak for yourself ignoramus. Bud is one of the most skilled boxers out there. Most self respecting boxing fans want to see Bud back in the ring, if not with top competition right away, then with some sort of tune up fight for a bigger matchup.

As a fighter, at Crawford's age, you should know that there's Network/PPV money and gate money. If you take away one of those sources of income, how can the fighter be paid the same?

[HandsofIron]

Very true mayne.
