he has earned the right to do so, yes! But without criticism? Cmon man. He still lives on planet earth…. Meaning there are repercussions for our actions. Especially in da eyes of da publico. he deserves a few light touches sure But all things being equal he does warrant negative feedback from hardcore boxing fans just the same. He is a product & so are the matchups he decides to make. that's life as an entertainer. Particularly at the highest level.
I'm trolling by point out the facts.... Ryan is Tanks biggest win?....... If Ryan retires today, he has ZERO accolades to keep him relevant. He's a one trick pony who was simply popular due to marketing himself and his Latin following. But that's Tank's biggest win? Kell Brook draining himself and fighting Spence after an eye surgery he sustained from GGG, but got in the ring with EJ just months later.... Weird how you count that as Errol's biggest win but was quick to throw a car accident that gave Spence zero major injuries, and another finder bender, along with getting punched in the eye by a sparring partner as an excuse as to why Crawford dominated him....Ignoring the fact that he beat 2 world champions since the first car accident in between the match up. And even without all of that.....Kell Brook is NOT more accomplished than Mikey Garcia who was an UNDEFEATED 3 division world champion. He was just massively smaller than Spence who started his career as a super welterweight before dropping to 147 to become a contender for a title.......nice try homie. Some of us actually pay attention to the actual sport and not just follow a specific fighter. Crawford fought nobodies in the since that they weren't household names but Postol was not a "nobody".... Gamboa was not a "nobody". Burns was not a "nobody".... These were accomplished fighters and the other guys were all highly ranked in the division with the exceptions of Lundy & Khan..... People fight the 'names' for marketing and $$....Crawford had LEGACY as a priority. He wanted Manny, Danny, Mikey, & Broner....but none of those guys were interested in fighting him because he was.....in your view.....a 'nobody' because he wasn't a big name.... And Loma did not move up because he was being avoided. Weird how you give him kudos for whipping on individuals who clearly was much smaller than him like Rigo but then turn around and call Crawford a weight bully for fighting in a division he had been fighting in his entire career, including amateur. Crawford did exactly what guys like Sugar Ray Leonard, Hitman, Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward, Floyd Mayweather, Manny, etc... did over the course of their career. They moved up as their body matured with age and hard work. Were they weight bullies as well..... How does one become a multi-division world champion without being a weight bully in your eyes..... Easy answer:....not be named "Terence Bud Crawford".......lol. Crawford didn't wait years to do nothing. Crawford PUSHED for a unification bout.... Your Man Crush was hoping he would just dismiss it and move up a division and we clearly saw why...which was exposed when they finally fought. Crawford called out Keith Thurman and Errol Spence Jr, before even fighting Indongo for his first Undisputed title......Spence & Thurman openly called out Jeff Horn after he won the WBO off Manny.... Crawford snatched it and immediately: -'nobody wants that belt' -'he on the wrong side of the street' -'he gotta prove himself at welterweight' -'he's not a real welterweight' -'he too light in the a$$' All of this said about a man who you now claim was a weight bully......lol. See why I can't take y'all seriously? And you feel he should have moved up to....do what?.......deal with the same situation because wasn't Harrison, Charlo, Castano, etc... all PBC fighters as well... Didn't Usyk weigh in at 227.3 lbs his last fight. Isn't the cruiserweight limit 200lbs..... Does this mean he was a weight bully because he's now fighting almost 30lbs heavier than he was before and having success? The same amount of weight Crawford moved up over the entire course of his career from the moment he started at 135lbs....... Be consistent. I'm trolling for pointing out documented facts.....but you juggling your opinions and scenarios like we at the Big Top.....
The casual who started this thread will either ignore this post or make some irrelevant childish reply. Book it.
Boy did Crawford whoop the entire stew outta Spence. I feel sorry for the Spence fans. Not only did they think he had a shot, they actually believed he was the better man. I understand some of the fans are still salty about that ass whoopin. Do you know anything about that salt ellerbe?
