Comments Thread For: "Strength Of Schedule" Is The Only Knock Against Terence Crawford

[gdub27]

Arum did the same thing with Crawford that he did with Pac. Rarely putting him in with anyone not in top rank’s stable. He could’ve made a deal with Garcia, Thurman or Porter by now if Arum wanted to. Both Spence and Crawford want to build their clash into a super fight so they can make a big purse. After their next fights they should do it, because I can’t see the fight getting any bigger than it is. And both of them would fight Pac before anyone else, because he is still the money man.

Crawford Gotta prove it

I’m a big fan of Crawford but I think he’s letting his chance to see how great he really is go down the drain.

Thurman was the one who was making excuses, saying Crawford didn't deserve a shot until he proved himself at 147. Yet he knew all the PBC guys at 147 were too scared to fight Crawford.

When has anybody in the entire we division said they were scared of Crawford..?

And crawford STILL hasnt proven himself at 147

There’s one problem with your statement.....Bud would be lucky to pull even 3 million with ppv of 50-60k against Postol and 150k against Khan. He can’t pay an opponent 3 mil with numbers like that. He’s B side against any top WW

Exactly, idk where some of these dudes get their figures from but where exactly is crawford or Tr gonna get 3m to pay an opponent and pay Crawford on top of that? Especially on ppv where they would actually have to sell to get rev.. he barely sold when Khan was the biggest name he has fought and khan prolly got paid more than him for that **** show lol

Exactly arum is the one known for keeping things in house and not working with other big promoters so he can keep the revenue in house.

This is probably out of TCs hands but it was in his hands knowing this before he signed again with arum

[Roadblock]

That’s a pretty major knock though

Basically saying you look great but haven't fought anybody.

Bud wasnt paying anyone, Arum and Debouef were.

And this isnt "my statement". Its on the internet. Danny and Angel were offered the fight at $3m + ppv and they turned it down.

For the record I believe Khan wound up getting $4m + ppv...

"Since the Postol fight, Crawford has faced the following opponents: John Molina Jr., Felix Diaz, Julius Indongo, Jeff Horn, Jose Benavidez Jr., Amir Khan, Egidijus Kavaliauskas. The latter four have represented his ongoing title run in the welterweight division."

That part! That is why Canelo should be seen as P4P #1 Boxer in the world!

Why? Because he fights old age home opponents like Kovalev and GGG? Cancer patients like Jacobs?

Don't even want to mention Rocky Fielding, Liam Smith, and Chavez jr smh!

[Doubledagger]

Second that. And before Lopez fight, many put Crawford above Loma. Compare the resume - its mind boggling.

Who are these great fighters in Loma's resume?

[Cobratu]

Crawford looks like he has to take a fat shiattt in that article pic. Lol

[Oregonian]

I think Danny Garcia had a better run than Crawford at 140lbs. too! The "eye-test" is deceiving. Just look at Lomachenko! If we're going by the "eye-test," then Teofimo Lopez is #1, Tank is #2, and Berlanga is #3! Lol!

I’m going to agree yet again.
The sad thing is, I think Crawford can hang with these guys but he just chooses the easier (PAC) route.
PAC had the tools to beat almost all the top guys at WW but he chose to go after Broner, Mathysse, Horn, Algieri, Vargas etc.

Wikipedia page has Loma's fight record. Note the number of a fight and against it "won xxx title" or "retained xxx title". Compare with Crawford's and come back to me with report.
