Comments Thread For: Arum: Thurman's People Called About Crawford Fight, But Money Demands Are Crazy

[ptek]

I think even if you have solid points, it's still sad. Here's why. Even with Thurman not looking the same(I say that is more because of inactivity since he didn't look bad vs Pacquiao), even if he is a shadow of who he was when he beat Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter, he's the toughest fighter Crawford ever faced. Crawford is about to turn 33 and has few significant wins yet he's ranked as a p4p? Based on what?

I find it crazy when I looked at a guy like Andre Ward. He had significant wins but really didn't get the recognition until he beat Kovalev at the end of his career. I get he had promotional issues. But before he beat Kovalev he had a few significant wins in his career. Abraham, Kessler, Froch to name a few. Crawford doesn't have those names. He believes his best win was Ricky Burns. I think it was Gamboa who gave him one of the toughest fights. But we all know Gamboa never lived up to his potential. Crawford beat Postol, a good fighter that no one else knew at 140. There's not one significant win on his resume that says p4p. Sad because he's very talented and I'm sure we won't see him fight any significant fighter while in his prime. He took his secure paydays. I aint mad at him. But his legacy is going to be questioned.

3 Division World Champion, 135 WBO Champion, Undisputed unified World Champion at Junior Welterweight, WBO Welterweight World Championship. Sorry my friend but I think you'll find Crawford's record is Concrete and rock solid, he is already a Future Hall of Famousness....
Anyways know 1 wants that work until they have nothing to loss and everything to gain, follow the PBC money to find all the correct answers.

Nah I doubt he fight anyone on that list. He came out and said he don't wanna fight Porter. Apparently Thurman is asking too much. And I'm not sure how interested Pacquiao is of fighting Crawford.

I don't think Crawford mind's to much if he sits around until next year for a legit fight , he wants to unify and NOTHING BUT THE REST OF THE CHAMPS WILL DO, and I don't blame him, this will expose Al Haymon and PBC, and I'n the end Al Haymon will offer Crawford a huge contract to fight someone from his stable just to take the world's EYES and HEAT of him and his shady business principal's and PBC's Bull**** business model.
