Canelo fights MANDATORY: NSB upset. Crawford avoids mandatory: NSB smiles. Legit

[Combat Talk Radio]

Seems legit, NSB. Just never change.

I mean, if people are going to get on fighters' cases for fighting their mandatory (look up the definition of MANDATORY) especially when said fighter is fresh off beating the top guy at 168 (whether YOU think he was or not) and has been on a pattern of championship chasing (unlike Crawford), you start to wonder...maybe if the belts weren't in the picture it'd be a better place.

Maybe we should just do setups of random guys fighting each other in tournaments all the time, no choice of opponent, with an odd number of rounds to prevent draws unless there are knockdowns.

Maybe that's the only way to see sanity return to the sport.

Crawford has maybe 2 fans on this site

No way. I'd measure that roughly 75% of NSB thinks that Crawford is the top guy, that Spence is ducking him and that nobody beats him, not even prime Floyd.

im not defending canelo but the sad thing is someone of the level of yildirim would arguably one of the best fighters crawford has fought.

What mandatory is bud ducking?

Mandatory is a 75% split in favor of the champ. The opponent gets 25%

Its a simple take the offer or purse bid.

Not gonna lie, I laughed when I read "NSB smiles"

What mandatory is bud ducking?

Lowballed Swift, then gave damaged Khan twice the amount.

Went on DAZN and ducked Porter, then when Shawn asked for the fight, told him to "wait" while fighting the ghost of Kell Brook who was UNRANKED.

I have videos on my yt channel attacking both, Canelo is the reason Yilidirm is mandatory he requested him back in September cause he wanted to fight him for the vacant title, and Crawford should fight Porter and a made a video attacking Crawford for not taking the fight, so really fvvk both of them, anyone who doesn't fight the best, Spence is a bvvch as well for avoiding Crawford and wanting to cash out already

Do you really think those people are his fans or just people who hate Spence & PBC? You and I both have been on this site for a while & I don't remember all these Crawford fans when he was at 140. But these same Crawford "fans" have been hating PBC for years

Stop you sound ridiculous. Crawford has beat an Olympic gold medalist and a 2 time Olympic gold medalist and he beat Postol while Ramirez barely squeaked by an old Postol and many thought Postol won. Yildrim got stopped by Eubank Jr ffs
