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

Crawford has done nothing with the hype and popularity he got from that Spence win....2 years later and all he doing is begging for a canelo fight....dont Think i seen a boxer waste that much hype ever

no, Fundora doesnt get him in. its the start though. if he beats him and thats a BIG IF....then he would need at least a couple more STRONG wins at 154 or 160. all of this is wishful thinking anyhow because Spence is finished. does he have another good fight in him? I believe so...but a good 4-5 fight run, naw. I actually like Thurman's chances better. He can beat Tszyu and he may stop him. then he is only a couple strong fights away.

To put it simply, if Spence can get another belt, he gets in?

 

[patscorpio]

this is def a soft touch....this dont even look like its going to be broadcasted on blk prime or dazn....straight up indie card

 

[patscorpio]

im not surprised crawford is downplaying spence now....i remember that shyt they did prior to spence catching his asswhoopin to rate each other skills...crawford was respectful in his answers but spence was on some other shyt...karma bit him in the ass on that one lol

To put it simply, if Spence can get another belt, he gets in?

No. He needs a belt and maybe 3 good defenses, 3 noteworthy opponents. What I would love to see would be him and Keith both get titles and unify but 154 just ain’t no cakewalk atm.

If you had the hype what would you do with it?

I wish he would have kept this more of a”idk” people gonna say he coming for the person who gave him his best win but he is right.

Spence wins over Brook, Mikey, Porter, Danny, and Ugas are high quality but not enough. I don’t think beating Fundora will do it either but would put him closer. A strong 3 wins at 154-160 gets him in.

The Spence/PBC brigade are the only ones who discount Crawford's resume. Anytime a fighter fights Crawford, they immediately become a nobody. It's absolutely amazing


Tank Davis fights Gamboa: "Damn, that was a tough test for him "

Crawford fights Gamboa years prior: "Bu bu Crawford ain't fight nobody "


Boots fights Dulorme: "Damn, that was a tough test for him "


Crawford fights Dulorme years prior: "Bu bu Crawford ain't fight nobody "



Boots fights David Avanesyan: Damn, that was a tough test for him



Crawford fights David Avanesyan years prior: "Bu bu Crawford ain't fight nobody "



Virgil Ortiz fights Mean Machine: "Damn, that was a tough test for him "


Crawford fights Mean Machine years prior: "Bu bu Crawford ain't fight nobody "


Danny Garcia fights Benevidez: "Damn, that was a tough test for him "



Crawford fights Benevidez years prior: "Bu Bu Crawford ain't fight nobody "




Bredies Prescott beats Amir Khan: "Damn that's a dangerous fighter, stay away from him "


Crawford beats him easily: "Bu bu Crawford ain't fight nobody "



Victor Postol beats Lucas Matthysse: "Damn, that's a dangerous fighter, stay away from him "


Crawford beats him easily: "Bu bu Crawford ain't fight nobody "

I dont think dudes understand how bad it looks on him when they keep downplaying Spence....somehow Spence wasn't that nice but he is your best win and you supposedly an ATG like what type of babble is this

He isn’t downplaying him really by saying he isn’t a HOFer. He isn’t. He was a great WW of this era but not an ATG or HOFer. He had 5 wins against some top WW but none of them are HOF either. Mikey is the closest to HOF that Spence ever beat. Just like Leo is closest thing Tank ever beat.

That 1:00 min mark is easily one my favorite Lennox Lewis moments . Straight laughing at Briggs, then knocking him out

2nd greatest Heavyweight of all time

Bud talking about accolades and etc when Spence is still the biggest win on his record. If Spence is downplayed then Crawford's resume is even weaker than it presently is, and he lost against Madz. He'll beat Canelo but that isnt saying anything either since Canelo has slowed/is borderline washed.

wrong thread?

I put Bud over Manny. The same Manny with his trainer Freddie Roach shamelessly ducking Bud after they were a "little too impressed" on how he dismantled Victor Postol. Freddie flat out saying it wasn't a good matchup for Manny

I'll never forgive those two for robbing Bud of the superstardom he would have gotten had he beaten/stopped Manny

Nah.. we not gonna do that... Bob Arum himself admitted HE killed that fight.. Manny was with the shyts and if it wasnt for Errol getting his ass whipped by his sparring partner and backing out the Manny fight we probably woulda gotten Bud vs Manny for undisputed
