    What ego? The guy is a fighter and is a top level fighter, so he should carry himself with confidence. That's what Crawford does.

    Everyone wanted to fight Pac, including Spence.

    Neither Postol nor Benavidez were easy fights.
    He also wants to fight Taylor or go to 154...nothing easy about this.

    You asked why he was hated.. I told you.. your statement above is about the future. He's not disliked for what he wants to do. He's disliked for what he's already done.

    Postal was FIVE years ago, with a lot of nonsense garbage fights in between. I love Bud, I really do and my past posts reflect this but Porter is going to be his first legit fight in years.

    If you don't see 'ego' pouring out of his stance on the Spence fight, then I don't know what to say. Being ok if you don't fight your chief rival and number one at the weight is an ego problem.

    I know Pence wanted to fight Pac, this threads not about Spence.

    Being fine sitting in the cruise lane but get amped to target a 40 year old Pac is lame.

    Excuse my ignorance but what does milking fans mean?

    For the time he's been in the public eye his career has been pretty underwhelming, I can understand the PBC politics against him but last year when the supposed fight with Spence never came to fruition due to money split issues and conflict on who'd be the A-side , that's when the general opinion on him flipped big time and people stopped giving him a pass.

    I can think of many occasions when I decided to rewatch a Crawford fight and then got put off after remembering that he hasn't been in any intriguing fight other than Postol or Gamboa and even they weren't the something out of the ordinary.

    What else would I expect you to say? You think every black fighter sucks is overrated or a bum. You're a pos.

    It doesn't matter how he'd beat Porter, there'd still be complaints lol. I do agree though, that he doesn't have the best WW names atm, but a dominant win over Porter is something no one else has that he's capable of producing.

    I rate him but he's got a chip on his shoulder about everything. He overreacts. Like if I guy says "I'm going to beat you" he's like "wtf, really? I'm really ****ing you up now, how dare you".

    Not saying your lying but the only way I can see him getting beat up at school is if others jumped in. The guys been boxing since he was 7 and has a wrestling background

    I don't think many people hate him. We all just want to see him fight better fighters.

    When your career defining fight is Gamboa and Postol, you have a problem.

    It means over hyping fights where one guy stands no real chance of losing it. He's milking fans out of their money.

    Didn't a mechanisc take his money and not give him his car back? Is that the same mechanic? Are we talking about the same guy?
