Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter: If Terence Crawford Is Willing To Say Yes, The Fight Will Happen

[peplz]

———————

Crawford has had 5 fights at WW. He got the belt from Horn so not going to knock on that but he goes on to fight guys like Khan, Brook, Kavaliuskas and Benavidez.
We’re these guys lighting up the WW division?

Can you respond without harping about Spence’s foes? Focus on the names I just gave you, especially Khan, a bonafide BUM

I’ll give you Khan. Especially because of the way that fight ended. And Benevidez did have a bad knee. But he is far from a bum. Kell Brook was not coming off of a loss and a near career ending injury when Crawford fought him. Its not at all a coincidence that Brook got the same injury on the opposite side when he fought Spence. And Brook was not coming down from middle weight when he fought Crawford. Spence fought a compromised version of Brook. Crawford fought an older version of Brook but a healthier version who was coming off of three consecutive wins and not fresh off of a debilitating loss as he did with Spence. Kauvalaskis was undefeated when he fought Crawford. And Crawford is the same guy who ran the table at 140 and dominated at 135. As much as some of y’all want to subtract his previous divisional accomplishments from the discussion you really can’t do that in a fair debate. Everything he has accomplished counts.

This thread is a out Porter v Crawford. Go cry somewhere else. How about Crawford focus on somebody that actually wants to fight him(porter) since its apparently set in stone that Spence has ducked him.

Go fight my cousin first... lol You don’t gotta read my comments bruh. Fast forward if ya don’t like it.

Here are my two cents about the names you just gave:

1. Amir Khan: I wouldn't say he's completely shot but he's definitely past his prime. He is a name who's talent is probably top-25 in the division. It's a decent win in that Bud handled him easily but not overly impressive

2. Kell Brook: Similar to Khan but Brook is probably top-20 at this point at 147. This was another decent win because I do believe that Brook was locked and loaded that night. Bud handled him like he handled Khan so another decent win.

3. Kavaliuskas was a top-10 win (top-15 at worst) whether people can pronounce his name or not. I look at this as a "best of the rest" sort of win.

4. Benavidez was a top-15 sort of win in my eyes. I know about the issues with his leg but Bud handled him as expected.

In summary, Bud has decent but not overly impressive wins at welterweight. He's handling a certain level of opposition and we need to see him in with top-5 level opponents.

I would love to see Crawford face Yordenis Ugas because Ugas wouldn't care about being the B-side and I'm sure he would gladly fight on ESPN if the opportunity presented itself.

Crawford just needs to go to Pbc. His career is so lackluster at welterweight with Top rank.

True. He won't get Spence until he does.

PBC vs Bob Arum is the phoniest argument that y’all stand on. They do business together when they want to. But for some reason Errol Spence fans love to use the other side of the street argument too. Ain’t Shawn Porter across the street? And which obstacle is it? Is it the other side of the street or is it the money split or whatever might be Spence’s next excuse? This is the exact same argument that GGG used when Andre Ward was calling him out and y’all actually support this nonsense. Why?! Stop actin like females pocket watching and tell ya man to bring his demands to the negotiations table and out of the media. Terence Crawford pulled up on him TWICE and he’s still talking about he doesn’t know why. One guy seems to be about that action and the other guy is about that debating and scheming. And its clear as day which one is which. He could at least leave the lame money split debate/excuse out of it and say he simply has other things on his horizon. What he did is intentionally throw cold water on the whole notion of the fight happening and tried todegrade the value of another top fighter in the process. Which is really some top grade sucka sh1+. And yall joined the chorus of hatred and started degrading him too. I hope at least some of y’all aint black. Because I hate to see us behaving just like them.

This is prizefighting. The prize for Spence is Pac May 2021
at Texas Stadium which would do an easy 600K PPV's or more and be Spence's biggest payday ever. After Spence wins then he fights Bud if he signs with PBC after Oct 2021.

I’d like to see what Spence would do against Khan. Styles make fights.

It would be interesting if it's prime vs. prime but it's a one-sided beatdown if it happens now.

Khan's best trait is his handspeed, however it's not quite as blinding as it used to be and Spence is relentless.

I could see Amir looking great in the first few rounds before Errol starts grinding him down. My prediction would be Spence via TKO in 7

Spence is playing chess. Everyone else is playing checkers.

Spence is chasing Pac,Bud and then Canelo in that order. Khan's chin is soft like butter and he has no belt. please stay woke folks.
