"The Illest nikka in Nebraska Part III" Crawford/Jean, Brook/Chavez on Sho&hbo Fight Thread

[Axum Ezana]

little g 33 tho. t craw needs to move slowly just not that slowly but hell t craw already got a better resume

i understand but would craw really get much praise from beating postol?

seem like nikkas would find a way to say postol wasn't all that in the first place/one hit wonder who beat declining lucas.

im hoping this law suit shyt is over so he can fight peterson/broner/iman....etc. after postol/jose/hererra.


plus pac man still has to choose crawford according to arum.

I disagree.

A win over Broner gives Crawford the hip-hop casual fanbase that he doesn't currently possess...kinda like when Floyd beat Judah and took it from him (alot of people forget Floyd wasn't as big as Judah was in the hip-hop community when they fought.). Crawford doesn't have the popularity amongst casuals that Broner does, but if he beats him, that all changes.

The fight would never happen though unless it was on PPV

okay u right ...im talking about international worldwide fame.

i want broner but i hardly say shyt cause of the stupid politics /lawsuits.....

[seemorecizzy]

you my breh but stop it if pac a bum why is he mayweather's best win BY FAR

Never said pac a bum
But he's not the same fighter and
I don't think his heart is into boxing anymore, (especially after the mayweather l)
Dude wants to be a politician
On the other hand you Have Crawford who is is extremely talented and extremely hungry
Really hope this fight happens

And if you think pacqusio is gonna lose to Crawford and not making excuses afterwards u giving him too much credit

I think Khan still might have a chance at

Bradley "beat" N it didn't make him into a superstar or a draw

This is Pacs last fight ever N Khan will sell that PPV

yep, but politics . i never got the situation on whether khan can fight without consent from allah or not.

yep and marquez beat pac and i still don't think he is as big as pac...even with mexican fan base.

would be a good p4p win though for legacy and better pay day.

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

So it looks like arum ready to cash out on manny?

I think some of yall are severely underrating TC tho, I give him a good shot against manny IF he fights a "boring fight" like krack said, TC has good timing and speed to catch a KD counter on Manny as well

anyway... I like Crawfords attitude tho its mad old school...

if TC does get the fight with Manny, who would Postol fight to defend his title? or would he wait it out?

What they say is Khan got Haymons blessing...Al advises Khan, helps Khan but he can pretty much do as he pleases now that his Showtime contract is done

I give Crawford a good chance vs Manny...especially coming off "surgery", his biggest payday ever N one foot out the door

HBO might want it over Khan cuz Bud is their guy...then you got the whole did Crawford resign cuz he was promised Pac thing

But then you gotta think Roach is smart N he got Manny's ear....Roach knows Crawford is a bigger threat N less of a draw for PPV

If Khan can stfu he might end up getting the fight still...but that's a huge if

Postol got a mando in Imam...im sure he could have a voluntary defense before that tho

Prolly end up fighting someone like Antonio Orozco, Humberto Soto, Herrera, Provodnikov

 

[Champ_KW]

Crawford not ready . I've seen this movie before. The HBO talking heads lamenting about offense and attitude, as if that's the reason for Crawford getting hit so much by a tomato can. The same with GGG. The "he knew he could knock him out early so he let him hit him for the fans to get some excitement" narrative. Being a "mean guy" or "old school" doesn't mean you disregard defense. This guy was slow and loading up on one shot....and it kept getting home. TC would get buzz sawed by even a declined Manny. He's too straight up and down, no special effects. Doesn't move his head at all.

plenty of alll time great fighters weren't quote unquote "ready" and they still won
