    Anyone who votes Crawford is a hypocrite. Just saying.

    The DOMINANT conversation around Crawford is based on what he did at 140, for the most part.

    Adrien Broner is a 4-division champion. I know it's hard to remember at times, but he is. He's way more DECORATED than Crawford. He's made 8 figures (according to Floyd) on at least one occasion, so he's made more in a single fight than Crawford. And when you talk about selling the fight, few can sell like Broner can.

    On paper he's the CLEAR A-Side.

    Here's the problem and why I say you're a hypocrite.

    Broner's 147 run has NO signature wins. Paulie is the best you can call out and Paulie's resume spanks Crawford's, but Paulie was not elite, both Paulie and Broner got dusted off by Porter, and Danny Swift sparked Paulie out.

    So at 147, Broner has a crap resume just like Crawford.

    So...I question why Crawford is given #1 P4P for unifying one division in the past with crap current resume, but Broner who held titles in four divisions in the past with a crap current resume...

    Anyway, it's moot because PBC would require Broner be the A-Side (properly so). And Broner has said he doesn't want it.

        Love how everyone giving emotional answers based on dislike for Broner.

        We know he doesn't deserve a big payday and etc etc. But Broner would be the A-side his name would be the driving force behind the fight being a drawing success. Not Crawford obviously

          If TC won't accept being B-side to Spence, what makes you think
          Crawford would accept being B-side to Broner?

          That's why this is a useless thread.

              If one of the clauses was that the winner gets Manny/ WBA title shot, Mr. Bud would be signing up to be a B-Side with the quickness.

              Since Broner would clearly lose due to not letting his hands go, the best we can expect is Broner to take Crawford the distance like what happened with Porter.

                I would have to say Broner. Even though, Crawford is the better fighter.

                  Broner hasn't even headlined his own PPV,
                  and Crawford has, twice, regardless of the result.
                  So what has happened to such argument TS been espousing?

                  I guess it's always about whatever suits the agenda.

                    Dumb thread. To even make Broner vs Crawford theory requires what prerequisites? If Haymon wanted Crawford on a PBC televised fight for Adrien Broner what would be his MINIMUM?

                    Or, for Broner to cross to ESPN, what would ESPN give him?

                    This theoretical matchup for who is A side doesn’t make any sense. If Broner or Haymon NEED Crawford, they would have to pay...

                      Obviously Crawford is the A side and should get much more money than Broner. Crawford is a champion and high on all p4p best lists and has a pleasing fighting style. Broner has looked terrible in recent fights and has a disgusting fighting style of running, cinching, holding, dirty fighting, throwing very few punches and just being awful to watch.
