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

[Greenfield02]

LOL...of course he wouldn't be missed by a complete idiot that doesn't understand what the hell he is looking at when it comes to boxing....Lololol...smdh....morons everywhere

so much information... Must be the true boxing expert talking...

Bradley is right, but it is not completely Crawford`s fault.

When Thurman was away, Crawford and Spence should had fought at least once.

Thurman was away nearly 2 years. I a meantime, Spence and Crawford were losing their primes against irrelevant fighters.

They both lost. they could be huge compared to Thurman, but they are not.

Let Bud stand on his own. Spence has nothing to do with this. There's plenty of fights he could've fought, that would've been more meaningful than the guys he chose to fight. While Thurman was away, Spence was busy becoming a unified champion.

They are both bigger than Thurman what's you on about? Lol, acting like Thurman is Floyd Mayweather or something.

Pac is the only one at the weight bigger than Crawford and Spence. Thurman is irrelevant. Nobody misses him.

I mean no one is fighting right now....Well, at least the big names. This doesn't just apply to Crawford or Lomachenko. If he's saying that Crawford should be willing to take bit of a pay cut and get back in the ring later this year, then I guess his statement is fair.

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.

I think highly of him, I do think he is a terrific fighter, I admire his skills, his IQ, his dog in him, I don't think he is afraid of fighting anybody, the problem that I got with him is that he put money over legacy, he knew that resigning with Arum wasn't going to enhance his legacy. I don't care what anybody says Haymon and Arun doesn't have a good history of putting fights together sin a long time ago.

He's fought Haymon fighters before but let's be real, Molina was on his way out, Haymon didn't have a role for Molina anymore on building up his top WW's.

Haymon is building his fighters up and he don't have the need to put Spence right now vs Crawford, Spence can have 3 belts at WW and can move up to collect belts at SWW. ,

Crawford is gonna be known as the great talent who never fought an elite guy, sad situation.

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.

I've had enough of watching him fight tune ups.

Well said! He can't plead ignorant, or maybe I should say that "it's incredibly sad to see Crawford so incredibly ignorant?" Floyd, Cotto, and Mikey preceded him! Floyd bought out his contract in order to fight De La Hoya @ 154 when Arum wanted him to fight Margarito @ 147! Floyd got the De La Hoya fight! Cotto got the Mayweather & Canelo fights! Mikey already had 47K fans @ AT&T with Spence! When Arum didn't give him Pacquiao, he should've had an exit strategy! I think he thought ESPN would crush FOX/PBC, and everyone would leave the PBC for Top Rank! He didn't see DAZN coming! He might be refusing to take a pay cut, but it seems Crawford is locked into his own bubble...virus or no virus!

Lol....what's the difference in your resume being better when you LOST nearly every one of your top fights....which is the case with most of the welters at the ***** boy club...pbc in case you missed that...lol...I know boxing fans aren't exactly the brightest bulbs.

The difference, dumbfck , is the LEVEL OF OPOSSITION , aint that hard to figure out . When you lose against the top of the world fighters it does nothing to diminish your brand, pacquiao, Muhammad ali, sugar ray leonard, roberto duran all those guys lost Top fights And are still considered legends. Crawford is staying undefeated fighting C level fighters...not to mention he got dropped by a nobody in his last fight smh hypocrisy at its best is your dumbass talking about boxing fans while on a boxing website run by boxing fans themselves hahahahahaha

[Oldskoolg]

Boxing has done this to itself with these ridiculously inflated purses due to a couple of promotions trying their best to outspend the others. Now their fighters constantly argue about money they think they deserve. I don’t see good fortune ahead for the sport of boxing in the USA....the ridiculous contracts, Ppv, and apps have taken it to a place along with the Rona where it just may not recover unless it simply adapts.

[wrecksracer]

Boxers have a short window of opportunity to make money. If Crawford chooses to sit out because he feels he should be paid more, then he is choosing to not get paid. The years he sits out, he will not get back.
