    If Crawford had walked "Chicken Dance" like Judah did when Tszyu knocked him down then I would have called the ref. stupid to not make a count. Besides, I don't think that he got clipped in round 3 has anything to do with his reluctance to call out anyone.

    I swear when Errol Spence was hit vs Porter there was tons of post saying he’s overrated and Bud beats him.. Bud got dropped and hit vs a guy who received a gift from Ray Robinson..

    So one guy received hate from having a tough fight vs a guy who was every top guy toughest opponent and he received insults.. the other guy had a tough outing vs a low ranking opponent and he doesn’t receive that same criticism..

    At least when GGG fought low level guys he showed that they didn’t belong in the ring with him..

    Let's be completely honest, Crawford has called out every WW under the PBC promotional conglomerate on multiple occasions. It's clear that for the time being at least, neither Arum nor Haymon are interested in anything cross promotional concerning the WW division. I'm not going to blame any of the fighters (Crawford, Spence, Porter, Thurman, Pac, Garcia etc) for this cold war. I'm certain all of the fighters are interested in making it happen.

    The closest Manny will get to a fight with Crawford is sitting in the third row in his next fight, Pacman doesn't want anything to do with him at his age and I don't blame him.

    Baffling. I also thought Kavaliauskas won the 4th round as well. It was close, but that just shows you anything remotely close they were giving to Crawford.

    LOL I never said the KD did not happen! I said it was a missed call that, in the end, had no bearing the outcome of the fight. That's a fact! You haters are trying to make it out like a big deal, when there's nothing to really complain about.

    Doesn't matter that much, but he should have make a point. Even if the other guys are across the pond, it gives fans something forward to look to. People don't want uncertainty, they want fighters to put pressure on their opponents to make something happen.

    Lomachenko has stated that he wanted to unify the division and then fight Davis at the end of 2020. Davis as we all know is on the other side of the pond, but calling him out sets up expectations for Davis and the fans.

    Whose he going to call out that is a realistic fight..? PBC has ruined the WW division. Arum sounds willing to sign Bud to fight any of the PBC guys but this Haymon doesn't seem confident enough to play.

    It would be nice for him to actually finally fight a top level opponent. His last 3 fights have been against the one-legged Benvanidez, the disgraceful defense against Khan, and a guy who drew with a B-level fighter his last time out. I don't wan to hear anymore excuses, he needs to fight an opponent at his level. Even Floyd wasn't this bad....

    Who did you give 8th round to? Oh yeah, the fight got stopped in the 7th. Score cards didn't matter, yours, mine, the judges, doesn't matter. Besides, if the fight was fixed, why would Crawford fight the way he did? Giving Kava a chance to hurt or stop him?

    I am not a hater, who told you that? I stated a fact and you branded me a hater? I did not contest the outcome of the fight which you continuously points out.
    Truth is, you are just a Lover and a Hugger that does not want any criticism.
    Enjoy your day. No need no reply no more, not from you.

    You accused me of denying the knock down and promptly called me a nut hugger. I merely pointed out that, I did not deny the KD. So, what's with all the hostility? Just talking a little boxing!
