They Said Terence Crawford Would Duck Felix Diazinon

[-PBP-]

As shown below:

Crawford's trainer picked John Molina and not Diaz in his last fight because according to him, "he's tailor made for Crawford."

Just imagine if Sanchez or Roach said the same thing about their fighters' picks.

Crawford does NOT want that work.

this fight was an obvious duck for crawford and the main reason he didnt win fighter of the year..if he took this fight and won it he'd have 2 fighter of the year award in less than 3 years

carmben B, joe fraizer, ali, leanard, hagler, holyfield, pac, floyd...those are the only ppl on that list that he missed out on joining...HE DUCKED GREATNESS ..still a fan of his bc he isnt the only one doing it out here, but straght up duck no doubt

thenboxing business does not want this guy around. diaz
was a last
minute replacemt opponent, and dude knocked sammys mouthpiece outta his mouth 3 or 4 times. he beat the stuffinnout of sammy vasquez and the judges ruled it a draw. sammy is one tough dude but diaz beat him 9-1 and the judges scored it a draw. thank god the ref wasnt in on the fix--he made them deduct the penalty point that somehow they forgot about.

i dont see crawford havin much trouble with him, but the rest of 140 will lose. hard to say at 147. hes frickin good tho.

Better chance of hitting the powerball .. They won't put Crawford in against a virtual nobody with the talent of Diaz...doesn't make sense on a business level...

cRAWFORD IS ducking Felix Diaz, Diaz is a real fighter with skills and grit.

Prior to that, they said Crawford would duck Viktor Postol. We saw what happened there.

They said Crawford was unworthy of going to Scotland to fight for Ricky Burns title. They said, that should've been Beltran's title. We saw what happened there.


So how much longer, will you guys continue to doubt Bud. He fights the best, he fights the guys you say he will duck, and he dominates them one after the next.


At what point does a fighter earn the benefit of the doubt? To trust that media leaks are false, and he fully intends to take on the toughest challenges. He is building his resume off high risk and low reward fights.

What am I missing... I don't think Diaz is anything special? He didn't prove to be any better than Peterson, who hasn't looked special either.

Its a fair enough fight, but not sure why posters would claim Crawford would duck someone like that. At least Postol was the no.1 fighter at 140 when Crawford faced him, with an actual noteworthy win. All credit to Crawford for that masterclass over a very good opponent

That makes two of us. Crawford has no history of ducking but for some reason, these individuals thought Crawford wanted no parts of him.

I'm interested to see what they come up with.

Here i was thinking you were making a joke thread. But people really thought Crawford would duck him. Jesus Lord.

[HanzGruber]

I firmly believe arum wouldn't let it happen. HBO prob strong armed him

I don't generalize. When I make threads, I quote evidence.

Yup, me too. Arum actually tried to get Iman and HBO said no.

Guide to Boxing Scene:
1) Claim Fighter A will duck Fighter B.
2) Act incredulous when the fights gets made.
3) Find an excuse for Fighter A beating Fighter B (boring, clinching, headbutts, etc.) and pretend that Figher A's tactics invalidates their victory.

Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

Oh wait there's more!!! We calling names. You better not duck me thun!!!!!!

You better not duck me thun!!!!!

He doesn't want Khan fight, and he doesn't what Diaz fight, he wants no risk at all for his fighters

In this video Arum calls Diaz a boring fighter https://youtu.be/P-NXVLRLdeA

We know that's Bob's go to excuse when he doesn't want his fighter to fight a certain fighter. Postol & Molina were boring fighters too.

Diaz told Dibella he doesn't care about the money being offered. Just make the fight. Diaz & Dibella are waiting on a bout agreement from Top Rank. They've accepted all the terms.

Unified & Lineal champ Crawford should not be fighting Broner leftovers or a guy (Iman) who hasn't done anything to warrant the fight.

Is Diaz a boring fighter?

Fight a guy who just took an L instead? I don't agree with that decision but that's dumb.

Utter nonsense. Diaz is the better fight out of all of them and poses a very unique challenge for Crawford.

So he's gonna fight another one of Broner's leftovers? Not suprising.

Bud's career has stalled enough. Granados is a tough dude -- and he deserves a payday as he fought on even terms with Broner

But this fight would be nothing, pointless. Slightly better than Molina.

Do the Diaz fight

Wow and people call Danny a cherry picker smh

If Crawford is so good, why is he matched so softly? Crawford has no business fighting Broner's left overs.

it should be crawford vs diaz, or crawford vs manny, or crawford vs bradley....

Wow thats embarrassing, that guy who just lost to Broner? Way to ruin any momentum Crawford had.

**** Crawford if he takes that fight instead of Diaz. What does that say about him? Dude does not earn respect like that...

Crawford is ducking Diaz...if he fights Granados, it'll be another Molina-like fight...Diaz can and will hurt Crawford...he's a bad dude...

Why can't they make a deal with Felix Diaz? Not a good look! Granados deserves a shot because he beat Amir Imam, but I would much rather see Felix Diaz! Where's Rances Barthelemy and Amir Imam?

That sucks. Felix Diaz deserves a big fight and his gritty but intelligent style could test Crawford in a new way. Granados is solid but I don't think he has the style or attributes to make it interesting against Crawford

It ain't Bud Crawford anymore it's Bum Crawford for all the bums this boy has been fighting lol.

Oh for sure. I'm still puzzled as to anyone would think Crawford would duck Diaz. Crawford is going to be the heavy favorite in that fight
