Why can`t Crawford be the next Mayweather?

[GrandpaBernard]

Never say never. He could shine extra bright if he reels in the right opponents, and fights successfully until 39-40, but it has to start now!

This could work for either Spence or Crawford

1) take torch from manny by beating him hard

2) whoop Crawford or Spence

3) Become the man at 154

Mayweather was fortunate that Mayweather didn’t exist before Mayweather arrived on the scene. Guy’s fought back then.

Well, to be fair, at the moment, it seems like PBC is actually trying a little harder to make some fights during these quarantine times.

What the ***** does this even mean?

hate to break it to some of you...but crawford wont be fighting till hes 39-40 and winning....against elite/named opponents unless they are other 39-40 year olds still hanging around...id bet just about anything on it...i know you guys will talk to me about shane, bernard, pac etc......crawford is good but hes not that good....if you think crawford will be 39-40 and beating a very good 30-32 year old id say youre a bit looney

I was wondering the exact same thing.

What the ***** does this even mean?

its just another backhanded shot at the pbc....who by the way has like 4-5 WWs that all have better resumes and fighters on their resumes than crawford....weird conicidence isnt it?

isnt it funny how kenny porter said "call us we can make that fight" and a week later bud was on camera saying "porter isnt on our radar"...this after bob kept mentioning porter as their future target?

then the pbc haters claim that thurman called bud with a ridiculous demand for money....yet it was never bud coming to thurman with any offer...and even when thurman did contact them they didnt come with a more reasonable counter?

arum has no real interest in making fights with garcia/porter/thurman...they arent big enough for him to make money and theyll all represent some risk level ....arum will say their names hoping they remain silent and he can hoodwink a segment of fans that want to believe the pbc is ducking bud....those of us who arent blind can see it

arum says it all when he said "i dont wanna make bud/spence till its a big fight...a big ppv fight" a couple of years back......bob can make pac/floyd cause its a huge ppv fight...he had no problem making wilder/fury 2 because it had a huge buzz and was a good ppv fight.....bud vs danny/thurman/porter arent that...and he cant pay them their fair market and still make money....if he got them on a discount or got them signed to TR he would do it(and neither of those are happening)

It means that Mayweather never fought the best when the best were available and instead chose to fight them on his own time.

I.e. beating guys after they got beat, threatening to retire to not fight guys and using the facade of TBE before he was even retired.

Mayweather was a great boxer in the ring and a better businessman outside of it. Had Mayweather taken meaningful fights when they were available his record might not be 50-0. That is what that poster was suggesting.

I used Cotto as a good example of this and a lot of Mayweathers opponents, especially later in his career fall into the same category.

A fight that was marinated long past its due date to so Mayweather would be able to pad his resume with a big name with himself having most if not all the advantage.

Take a look at how Canelo has copied this exact blue print.

Everybody wanted Mayweather during his time. We can't say the same with Crawford. Even worse with TBE was, the best available fights were in his own promotional house and he chose to avoid them. So big difference.

[Fanofreason]

Crawford has zero personality much like Spence

No disrespect but... Sounds a lot like Pac man to me.
