Comments Thread For: Crawford: The Critics Will Give Me My Credit When I Retire

[Squ□redCircle34]

Doesn’t matter, like it or not, Bud will be in the Hall of game and could go down as one of the all time greats at 140 or especially 147 if he can get Bob to stop being cheap!

[OPS]

I'm a huge Crawford fan, but I'm not sure what Bob Arum sold him to resign with Top Rank. I think Crawford is a phenomenal talent, but not promoted well. The best need to fight the best for supremacy. Crawford definitely did what he was supposed to against his last four opponents, however they were all less than stellar Welterweights.

Who is the best fighter bud has defeated?

[GlassJoey]

He needs to rectify his Amir Khan fight first. Khan left the ring conscious which might as well be a loss

[QballLobo]

Right now the critics will barely remember Bud when he retires.
Now or never for him to get a signature win while he has prime years left.
He should look at Deontay Wilder to see what happens when you don’t make the big fights until you’re mid 30’s.

Crawford

You will never know how good Bud
really is until he fights the best 147
Lb fighters. He looks real good fighting B level talent. Kell Brook may just upset the cart if Bud even take that fight.

Well, according to Crawford, "The man that beat the man", meaning Jeff Horn.

Bud look at your career in comparison to pacs. Pac s been doing it since 19 years old. He's doing more at 41 than you even.

I give him credit now, he is a very talented boxer, yeah he MIGHT BE the most skilled currently at 147 BUT sadly because of his BOSS Bob Arum, he is declining Rapidly on P4P Rankings and rightfully so because of his level of competition and that you blame on not PBC Fighters but not on your Promoter/BOSS Bob Arum!

It is Arum and Top Rank Job to find Crawford better opponents, it is not F^cking Haymon and PBC Job to send a guy opponents that is not signed to or affiliated with them. Haymon and PBC are doing their job for their fighters: Spence Jr, Porter, Garcia, Thurman, Pacquiao...hell even Ugas and Lipinets are getting better fights than Crawford!

So stop accusing of everybody ducking and hating and instead put pressure on YOUR BOSS! Arum is in the Money Making Business, he don't give a sh^t about your legacy and who YOU want to fight. Arum makes the fights that make him and Top Rank Money and having Crawford instead fight the winner of Ramirez vs Taylor Makes Him more money than going "Across The Street"

Yeah, I'm not so sure.

BoMac went on record saying they didn't want Kell Brook and that the "writers" were lying about that.

Yet BoxingScene just put up an article with quotes from Brook that both Arum AND Crawford were "up for it"

Major news outlets are reporting that a deal is close.

So who's lying? Signs point to BoMac.

But then why would Crawford allow his guy to go out and straight up lie about it? Unless Crawford was in on the lie and blowing smoke against the mirrors while calling out top names.
