Why isn't anyone in the boxing community holding Crawford accountable?

    Crawford would beat the living crap out of Spence so no reason to duck him. He just wants to get paid a good amount of USD for doing it and i have no problem with that. Stop calling this a duck. I agree that Crawfords resume is paper thin and he lacks the urgency to give a **** about money and go for legacy but i don't blame him anymore.

    Sure Terry's resume is very poor. When your best wins in 38 fights are Shawn Porter, and a Porter who'd undergone double hip replacement surgery, Postol, and tiny Gamboa which was a grotesque size mismatch between a natural 147 pounder and a 130 pounder, how could it not be?

    But to be fair, it's comical when the Errolsexuals try and discredit Terry when their boy has literally forged a career of cleaning out 147 of as many career 140 pounders and 135 Mikey as possible, which was also a grotesque size mismatch, and has literally only fought two career 147 pounder world champions in his entire career and he struggled badly against both. The first being a damaged goods Brook way back in May 2017 and the only other being Porter over three years ago. So since winning his first world title against Brook he has only defended his belt against a career 147 pounder world champion once. Every other champ he's fought was was a career 140 or a blown up 135 pounder Mikey


    Peterson
    Mikey
    Danny
    Ugas

    Brook
    Porter

    The only other career 146 pounder he defended against is Ocampo

    Terry was always a natural 147 pounder. Look at him glugging down the liquids here in his third division. He was a huge weight bully at 135 and he was usually the bigger man at both that weight and 140 and even at 147 he's at worst fighting opponents his size

    But, unlike one weight champ Errol who is a natural 154 pounder, he is a three weight champion and we've seen him completely dominate career 135, 140 and 147 world champions many times which Errol has never done once.

    And both Errol and Terry have fought very few legit punchers, let alone ones their own size and on the few occasions they have they've been hurt or dropped.

    And who is Errol fighting next? His vicious punching athletic phenom mandatory and huge 147 pounder Super Boots? No he's fighting a Thurman who has only fought once in 3.5 years :facepalm:

    Go on then, tell me his best win (at the time) and before u say Porter he was semi retired pre fight and fully retired post fight.

    Personally im just used to it. Back then I said he was at fault for not getting fights because he'd rather resign with Arum than jump in with the big names on the other side.

    But now that he's out of Arum he still hasn't done ****. Basically confirmed what was I saying back then.

    Crawford has gotten more discredit over the last few years than ever. I'm one of his detractors and feel like Crawford is letting Spence clean out the division by fighting the contenders, while Crawford stays fighting the pretenders. Thing is maybe Crawford is waiting for the right time to finally take the fight. Right time being Spence being in too many tough fights where it starts to catch up and he starts to look more vulnerable than ever.
