    Crawford always needs an advantage. He will never engage another man in hand to hand combat unless he's got the upper hand. That's his personality and that's why he will continue dominating overmatched contenders and paper champs.

    His best win is a Featherweight. He unified the weakest division in boxing. And now that he moved up to WW he's fighting Jeff Horn and Jose Benavidez. Yes there are guys like Spence and Thurman for him to fight, but he won't be able to bully either of them in the ring. So it's unlikely he will fight them. Especially Spence.

    Crawford's had some legal and temper problems in the past. Notably his criminal assault on a ****ing mechanic. Which he was able to negotiate into reduced jail time for probation. LMAO, dude picks a fight with the local mechanic FFS. If that mechanic in there was Joe Smith Jr. and he squared up on Smith Jr. Crawford would walk away with his tail between his legs like a little scared puppy.

    So Crawford has great talent, but lacks courage.

    What part of he can't fight Spence and Thurman don't you understand? Spence and Thurman are with PBC and Crawford is with Top Rank they rarely do business with each other. I have no doubt that if the fight with Spence could be made easily Crawford would be all over it.

    He can threaten to leave Top Rank and get into a contract dispute. Pac did it with Murad Muhammad. FMJ did it with Arum.

    If you can't get any fights with your current promotor then it's time to shake things up.

    I'm not a fan of Bud... But he is a REAL KILLER. It's clear to see even if his opposition isn't elite.

    But Bud will destroy Spence, Thurman, and anyone else at 147. They will duck him and blame different networks, promotional companies, etc..

    One time for Bud!
    Horn's a pretty big dude and he handled him with ease. If fights aren't being made, I don't think it's on Crawford, it's the promoters.

    Crawford is imho the #1 pound for pound. He bullies because he knows how to fight, not because of his size. The way he bullies is not related to his size, and you wont see him bullying anyone untill he gets into "bully mode", i.e., he has figured out the other fighter, exploited his weaknesses, and is next to being done. Is then when he starts the bullying. A bully "by size" doesnt figure out **** in the whole fight, he just bullies, that's not crawford by any mean.

    Only a sucker who has never stepped in the ring says something like this. Get off the forum and come back when you have something worth reading.
