A question why is no one calling out Crawford?

    I got much respect for Pac and his heart is as big as Texas but if he gets on national television and says that he wants to fight Crawford next, everybody on this forum knows that he won't have long to wait. That fight with Broner don't even come close to what he will see from Crawford. Crawford would knock him out and there is no doubt about it. The Crawford that fought Gamboa no longer exist, in his place is a full grown monster man that would tear Pac's ass up.

    Pac's speed and power might turn Crawford into a survivor. That's just a real possibility. You would have never thought that a guy who stood in front of Maidana and Mikey for 12 rounds would be running for survival and constantly checking the clock against a 40 year old VADA-tested Pac. Mosley also ran from Pac, but went on to go toe-to-toe w/ Canelo...

    Bud could very well put on those rollerskates once he tastes even a partially blocked left hand.

    Broner is not one fourth the fighter that Crawford is. Crawford punches hard with combos at arms length. He is also and innovative thinker in the ring. He adjusts fluidly and them bum rushes of Pac's would only get him knocked out sooner.

    i think youre more likely to be right, than you are being wrong. pacs current options make it smarter to knock over a couple of pins with a name before facing bud. if he beats up on danny, he has a better win at current welter division than bud does, which isnt good for a p4p top 2. people dont appear to have noticed how tight crawford-benavidez was, and how well pac can still perform. i favor bud, but i see about a 3 rd scoring difference for a win.

    Yes, a very unbiased source indeed.

    In other news, Donald Trump has assured us he is innocent of collusion with the Russians.

    Crawford had no interest in facing Pac and instead chose Khan. That might come back to bite him in the a$s Khan is faster and better than Crawford. Crawford ace-in-the-hole here is Khan's dodgy chin..

    lol there is a very simple test 're making fights and that's if it's on Twitter you can forget it altogether.Despite this modern thing of public negotiations on Twitter at the end of the day these fights still get made behind closed doors as it were.

    He did an Andre Ward on him,one of the most boring fights you could ever see.smart way to fight imo since I thought Postal looked amazing against Taylor and was robbed on the cards in a losing cause.
    can't bring myself to watch it again it was so bad.

    Nothing wrong with your assessment, I however don't think that the Benavidez fight was that close and neither did the judges. I think that Crawford knocks Pac out and it wouldn't be that hard. Crawford fights tall and I don't see Pac penetrating his defense with any real success.

    That wasn't really the point... Hate on Broner all you want, but he's durable and tough as hell. He stood in front of Maidana and Mikey, both of whom are heavy hitters.

    Why did he run from 40 year old Pac when Maidana and Mikey are both bigger punchers? Why did Mosely run from Pac, but fought a fire fight with Canelo?

    I'm just saying that Pac has a record of turning tough dudes into runners.

    The facts have assured us trump was innocent of collusion with the Russians. Kahn has zero chance.

    No hate, I talk boxing, Show me where Broner is any where near the fighter that Crawford is. In or outside of the ring. You are suggesting that because Broner and Mosely ran from Pac that somehow that means that Crawford will run. I beg to differ, Crawford's very makeup dictates an altogether different response. By the way, Crawford would knock Broner out.
