Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Done Called Out The Top Welterweights; No Need To Do It No More

[Bandman]

can Bud fight Boots Ennis at least?

[wrecksracer]

I know all the other top WW are busy with fights but you could give me a call anytime you want...

Sincerely,
Shawn Porter

Porter is Crawford's mandatory. Porter just needs to enforce it. Call up the sanctioning body and demand it. Why hasn't he? He can get it anytime.

I just read an article where Porter acknowledged that he had the "green light" from Al to make that fight happen! He also recently said he wants the winner of Spence-Garcia, but he's still interested in fighting Crawford too! They need to make that happen if Pacquiao goes a different route!

of course he had it! if he didnt kenny wouldnt have said "call us we can make that fight"......it showed al and crawfords cards though....cause they were shouting porters name and as soon as they heard kenny it was bud on camera a week later shooting down the fight

arum and crawford love talking about the pbc guys when they know al has other plans for them and they dont think theyll respond....the minute someone responded and said "call us we can do that" they did a quick 180

You're crazy.

If Crawford beat Porter CLEANLY (i.e. no low blows, no holding and hitting, etc), CLEARLY (i.e. not a debatable draw) and without trigger ref assistance, it would instantly warrant 50/50 for Spence.

Why?

Because Porter has never been beaten with all three of the above being true.

Ugas: could have been a draw

Thurman: could have been a draw

Spence: could have been a draw (had he not gotten dropped)

Brook: excessive holding


If Crawford did to PRIME Porter what he just did to washed Kell Brook, he's instantly in the conversation. Period.

Hell, if Crawford stopped Porter, even if it took 11 rounds to do it, he's still in the conversation.

Crawford beating Porter, like he just beat Brook, would be a major statement in the welterweight division. The manner in which he just beat Brook is a major statement, Crawford was losing that fight until he caught Brook. I think that vicious Crawford uppercut, would bust up porters face prior to be knocked out by a follow up hook, or overhand right. Porter likes to come in charging low, head down, throwing windmill punches, and wild hooks. He appears to be the perfect type of knockout victim for Crawford's lethal punches, let's make that fight happen next. Porter is a bit of a dirty fighter using his head to inflict cuts on his opponents brow, and to lump them up. I also don't like the way he throws himself into his opponents bodies like a football player, to knock the wind out of them, tire them out, and to mug them. So seeing Crawford knocking Porter off, would help clean out the division some what.

Pac vs Crawford can and should be made. Although Pac has diva status, he needs the money just like Crawford because they both got pimped out by Arum for last decade. Make the fn fight!!

[Drew Bundini Br]

That, if given the pick, Crawford's choice for next fight would be Pacquiao, is telling.

$$$$$$

The smartest most lucrative. Somebody's belt has to go.

... I don't think that there will be big money fights in 2121... no gateway money, no PPVs... and Bud is getting old...

I think Pacquiao goes with Mikey or McGregor! Crawford should be telling Todd Duboef "Get me Shawn Porter on ESPN, or let me go fight Spence on FOX PPV, or just let me go!"

Crawford is NOT stopping Porter with single shots. Porter ate numerous No Look Hooks™ charging Danny and wasn't dropped. And it took Spence more than 6 rounds to get a significant shot off - which still didn't stop Porter.

NOBODY makes easy work of the Linebacker. NOBODY.

Which is why it's the fight Crawford should be going for. Because it will give him the chance to prove he's what appears to be.

Running from

This guy is so transparent wants a 40 year old next who has been knock out, not the undefeated Spence who has never been knock down professionally. Been chasing Pac Man for 7 years now and still crying. Take him off the p4p list till he does something meaningful at 147!

[MrShakeAndBake]

P4P right there...
