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

[coghaugen]

Truth is spoken. Back in the day, Tommy Hearns fought all the time, prime Tyson, prime Toney, Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn in Europe, Chavez (100 fights?), etc

Crawford is already past his prime years and only in recent times even came on the scene

People forget Floyd was at the top of the sport in 1998 in terms of actual boxing. The last 10-13 years have been just freakshow events for him.

Bradley was a feather fisted boxer with solid skills who faced Alexander (in his prime), Marquez, Pacquiao three times and Provodnikov in an absolute war. If anything, he overachieved! Who was he suppose to fight? The guy had little power, no fear and trained his ass off to be able to outwork his opponents and avoid getting clipped with heavy shots.
Just curious, what have you achieved in your particular field of interest?

Oh and add Witter, Holt, Campbell, Peterson just for good measure!

I've had enough of Canelo cheating and getting away with it but you can't always get what you want can you?
A tune up fight in 2020 is better than no fight in 2020.

What does Alvarez getting caught cheating have to do with Crawford beating club fighters.

When people can't answer a subject directly is because they know the don't have arguments to back up the main point of the subject, sorry if I brought out the emotions of you my friend.

Enough is enough keep watching a great talent in Crawford fight "Tune-ups" for the rest of his career and you be happy about it.

Regards.

What were you a coffee runner on Desperate Housewives of New Jersey?

I know you weren't anticipating that anyone on a message board was actually highly successful in their field.

Lesson learned.

He is forced to fight. There's a number of fights on the contract. Problem is, those fights don't guarantee him title shots unless he moves up or down. Haymon has 154, so he could move down and make waves. But he refuses.

Make no mistake doe.
I agree with Tim Bradley here, which is not only "time off is time wasted,"
but it puts an athlete's body in a dormant, ill-suited state which makes it
hard to recover as time passes.
Like I always say, this pandemic will not be over anytime soon.
So I'm predicting all these greedy bastards will eventually beg for fights
and take paycuts.
