porter would dog crawford that's why that fight never happened. He even gave errol all he could handle.
Make no mistake about it,, If prograis and Ramirez were players when Crawford was at 140 he would've beaten them to. Taylor becoming undisputed is very noteworthy but don't act like who Taylor beat there makes him atg status. The fight with prograis could've been scored a draw and the rematch needs to happen next year.
Just like Phil lo Greco would dog Spence to right? You said he would, stand behind your prediction like a man you ****ing pussie agenda having ass troll.
Terrence Crawford’s career is a flop… his age is now becoming a factor and he’s not getting the fights he needs. I don’t know who is really to blame hear him or Arum because at the end of the day the fighter can tell the promoter make this fight happen and really the fighter and trainer have the last say. Shawn Porter would have fought him and he didn’t want the fight. He’s ok financially but legacy wise his window of opportunity is getting smaller and smaller.
One of my favorite fighters. I love how he kinda feels things out right handed. When he sees something to exploit he goes lefty and the fight is over shortly after. Calm cold spiteful. The way his career has panned out not only pisses me off but it’s sad as well.
Crawford UD's Postol (his best win) and now he 100% beats two better fighters in Prograis and Ramirez? That's not how boxing works. You don't get to be a mythical h2h champ and "make no mistake about it" beat better fighters than you've ever beat. You have to get in the ring and beat them.
If you think Ramirez who's there to be hit and a hot and cold Prograis can beat a complete boxer like Crawford then I don't know what to tell you. I understand fights aren't won on paper but we do fantasy match ups like this all the time and Crawford would be rightfully favored over both. Neither are anything special.
If you understand fights aren't won on paper then you understand there is no "Crawford definitely beats ____" when ____ is better than his best win. I favor Crawford in both those matchups at 140. Have we ever seen a favorite in a fight get beat? Have we ever seen an elite prospect drown in deep waters? I've never seen Crawford in a dog fight but there are a lotta guys I would bet to take him there.
I can see Crawford losing to an elite guy like Spence for instance but not Prograis or Ramirez. They're not elite they can't outbox him and neither have great KO power.
They're better than his best win. That's the whole point. He can be a favorite but doesn't "Definitely beat" fighters better than his best win. You don't get to coast off a great performance against average opposition. How did Mayweather vs JLC look on paper? All this does is prove my point that Crawford is a 34 year old fantasy matchup fighter. Elite Prospect
PBF was moving up in weight to take on the champ of the division in JLC. That's a completely different scenario. If Ramirez and Prograis could have fought Crawford he would have been the champ at 140 and he wouldn't have been moving up in weight like PBF was. Crawfords is not a elite prospect he's a multi weight champ and top 3 P4P fighter.
Mayweather was a big favorite against JLC, as Crawford might be against Prograis or Ramirez, and the result of that fight speaks for itself. If boxing were left to people of your opinion, we would vote on who would beat who and move on. Crawford is better than Prograis and Ramirez so we'll give him wins over them. Him and Spence are 50/50 so they each get half a win. This is the fight game. You have to fight people to get clout. Crawford's best win is Viktor Postol. There's no getting around that. P4P should be based on what you've done lately, Crawford hasn't done anything but look good against the Postol's of the world.
He was undisputed at 140 and then spanked the guy who just took Pacquiaos belt in his first fight at 147
No he's basically looked good against everyone he fought since Postol. I get it you don't like Crawford but what's funny about it is that if the fights with Ramirez or prograis could have been made you wouldn't have put a dime on either to beat Crawford and that right there tells you everything about what you think about their chances. Elite prospect you say? More like elite p4p fighter.
