Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

Man, fukk why everybody says, I’ll always ride for Keith. Dude legit my fav dude at 147 from that generation. Lots of heart, humble, passionate and student of the sport. Dude beat porter and Danny back to back BEFORE Spence but somehow Spence ended up getting all the accolades for it.

I really hope Keith gets a fight soon and squares up with the likes of boots, and the other cats coming up. Would lbs great to see him beat these young guys and then fight Bud.

If the rumors are true, y'all are really gonna like Keith's next fight

And when he wins, y'all gonna out some respect back on Keith's name

Crawford vs Porter...Tank vs Ryan
...Wilder vs Fury 1 proves your statement to be some bs thát bên debunked again and again.. them nikkas were ducking pussies and feared getting they ass put in the dirt like Bud did Spence.. the only reason they would fight Bud at this point is they desperate for a check

Of course there are exceptions. Promoters are willing to make fights once all options have been exhausted, and you know that.

This is a business. These guys aren't scared of each other.

I really don't like being objective and talking about business on this forum, because a lot of nyggas are just STANs of fighters. Y'all are really weirdos. How can you be on a boxing forum and not understand boxing is a business first, sport second.

Didn't take a deal on the table for undisputed, where he could write his own checks afterwards if he won, breh is talking too much at this point.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Nah I am not really feeling this. Crawford should know the game. If you want certain fights, you have to sign with the promoter that offers those fights. The man resigned with Top Rank back in 2018.

Beating Spence does not change the fact that his opposition has been lackluster. However, it all worked out in his favor. He's going to retire with a lot of money, his health in tact, and at the minimum undisputed in two weight classes despite the fact he has one of the worst resumes I have seen in an all time great.

If I were a fighter. I would love to have the same career.

powerful posting.

See this is that shyt because when he came back and beat the shyt outta Ugas, wasn't nobody talking about him not being the same. Cats was saying he was back.

Y'all doing too much switching up.

Yall were saying he wasn't the same/having glitches and etc Crawford got the victory but don't be mad that certain circumstances may/could cast a shadow.

When 2 people really wanna fight then the fights happen regardless the promoter.. Its no exception.. Its the rule.. yall nikkas just like to excuse ducking and accept fighters hiding behind the politics

A lot of nyggas on here are trying to rewrite history, while we were watching in real time. Top Rank gave Crawford a deal where his minimum was 3.5 million to fight anybody. When you're making that type of money, there is no incentive to pursue tougher fights. Like I said it the past, I thought it was smart to stay with Top Rank. However, by staying with top rank, you don't get to say "this guy ducking me blah blah blah."

It doesn't work that way. The value of signing to specific promoters is having access and being able to fight that promoters stable of fighters. Of course, there are times where promoters are willing to collaborate and make fight. I really shouldn't have to explain this in a business driven sport like boxing, but a lot of these guys really Stan these fighters, that you can't speak logic to them.

The thing is that I like Crawford, so I am not even dissing him. I am just speaking on the reality of the situation. I actually thought the way Crawford handled his career was brilliant. It's all about making as much money as possible while minimizing risk.

How can you say there was no incentive when Crawford had them literally put in the contract that they had to attempt to make a fight with Spence or I get paid an extra million... How can you know what we know now and still make a statement like this?

Porter was gonna duck that had Bud side not came to a monetary agreement But let yall tell it Bud only signed with TR for "easy fights" ironically Spence was Bud easiest fight since hitting 147

This conversation is over. I am a grown man in my late thirties discussing the business of boxing. You're a lil kid in your early twenties that Stans and worships fighters like Pacquaio, Crawford, etc.

What do I look like going back and forth with a little kid? It doesn't make any sense.

Facts and the last few sentences are paramount, but it's to the point now you can only be a Crawford fan if there is no criticism to apply or nothing objective to say even, it can only be one way/one feeling

 

[NormanConnors]

Some jewels dropped here/not all of it is correct but Keith the politician knows how to get his point across. And he is a live dog/high risk fight.

 

[Black_Jesus]

What a bunch of fukking pussies a lot of you have become you Spence fanboys have nearly destroyed this boxing thread with your hurt wet vaginas..

 

[FreedMind]

In retrospect, Bob was only telling the truth when he said that he could build a home in Beverly hills with the money he was losing on Crawford BUD GOT CASHED OUT GODDAMN

Until Spence..he was fighting chumps and lesser versions. No one ever heard of Mean Machine..overpaid a washed Amir Khan..brought back a limited Kell Brook instead of answering the Thurman call out...Boots called him out viciously when Spence and Ugas was announced.
