LOL Lepinets was in tough with a Japanese regional fighter and you honestly think Crawford is/was afraid to fight him. Lepinets only has 11 fights, nobody of note on his resume. Crawford would be a fool to take a fight like this! He would get 0 credit for beating Lepinets, none! Lepinets needs to put in more work against better opposition to even be considered for a fight with Bud! Troll thread!
This. I could name 5 other people at 140 that would take that title from Lipinets without even naming Crawford. Lipinets should consider it an early Christmas present that Crawford dropped that IBF belt.
Crawford would knock lepinets out but he wouldn't get 0 credit because Crawford got credit for all the other trash that his fought I mean people have him p4p and he hasn't fought any elite fighters
First of all, there really aren't many "elite" fighters in boxing, let alone at 140! Secondly he's beat decent to good opposition with ease! That is the reason people place him very high on the P4P list. One can make the same arguement about G and his resume, up until his last 2 fights. But you and I both know and understand that G is a damn good fighter and keeping him out of the top 5 P4P would be ridiculous. I feel Crawford is a top 5 P4P fighter as well. Both great talents!
Lipinets will likely face Broner next, and Broner will likely take that belt from him. If Broner can keep making 140, he is in luck. There is no one elite there.
Crawford will move up to 147, he did not want to fight Lipinets, not because he was afraid, because he wants to big fight names at 147..................he will beat Horn, Thurman, Spence will be good fight..............
Crawford is so brave that he will fight a person who can't fight at all, Horn is a total fraud and is a set-up for him at 147, Spence, Thurman, Porter would beat the hell out of him................let Horn go fight a baby kangaroo, hell, I would put my money on the baby kangaroo!
There was nothing left at 140 for Bud. Really can’t expect him to sit around hoping smaller guys come up. Let’s see what 147 holds for him. I don’t think it will be a cakewalk like 140 was, but he didn’t duck anyone there. May not be the case at 147, we’ll see.
