If Crawford retired now would he be a hall of famer in your opinion?

That's why I wouldn't put him in just yet.

 

Crawford should just leave TR. All the big fights are in PBC and I’m sure Haymon would pay more too.

Is his loyalty to TR in part due to Bradley’s loyalty to TR? I know him and Bradley are very close and Bradley basically told Arum to promote the heck out of him.

I want to see him against guys like Thurman, porter and Spence.

I don’t know why he didn’t fight Mikey at 135/140 when he was stil at the lower weights.

 

He is the best active welterweight at this time.

 

He went with TR because they offered him the best money deal. That does not prohibit the PBC boxers from fighting him if they really want to prove themselves. However Spence would rather talk about a rematch with Porter or an over the hill Danny Garcia. As fare as Crawford and Mikey, the offer was out there from Crawford for over a year and if you look for the video you will see Mikey and his brother saying the did not want that fight. Crawford had all the belts all Mikey had to do was come get them

 

Follow along slowly here. The post was about someone holding all 4 titles in the same weight class. Has Prograis done that? Oh and do you really want to mince words about a 2nd round KO vs a 3rd round KO. BHAHAHAHHAHA.

 

Not at the moment. Skill alone doesn't get you into the hall, " fame " is a part of the pre requisite and Bud hasn't achieved that level of fame yet, plus his resume isn't strong enough to get him into the hall on that alone. I think Gatti is a great example of how one gets into the hall of fame. He wasn't the best, but he gave his all in exciting fights that got the fans talking. Yes Stallone and others are in the hall, but they are in the non participant category.

 

If Crawford gets in he might as well be.

 

Not a chance.

 

No way. Has he fought a top five WW since he moved to the division? No Spence, no Porter, no D Garcia, Thurman, etc. Does beating Horn get you into the HOF? Does beating a much smaller Gamboa get you in?

If Crawford called it quits now, I would be disappointed and he should be embarrassed for ducking top fighters at his own weight. He presided over a very weak JWW class, moved to WW and fought bums. Until he beats a top guy at his natural weight, he’s just a talented guy, former weight bully who mostly fought in his backyard. Not a HOF fighter by a mile.
