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

[Jello Biafra]

Felix Diaz is advised by Allah Haymon (Imam too iirc)...a fight vs Crawford on HBO would've also thawed the ice too.

I would have preferred Diaz as an opponent but let's be real here it is not like the choice was Adrien Broner, Mikey Garcia and John Molina. Diaz wasn't going to move the dial in terms of this being a big fight. Most people would give the same amount of fukks about Crawford/Diaz as they do Crawford/Molina despite Diaz being guaranteed to be a tougher fight.

And after the way Imam got KTFO he would be less impressive to me than Molina's mediocre self until he does something to redeem himself in the ring more impressive than beating Wilfred fukking Acuna. Imam need to run that back with Granados (as embarrasing as that is) before his name can be tossed around as an impressive opponent for anybody.

So basically all of Crawford's choices were meh to begin with. Where is the problem.
This is not optimal but its also not defending the world heavyweight title against a part-time English teacher level of bullshyt matchmaking either.

I think there is a lot of overdone bytching in this thread about the Crawford/Molina fight. True it is a mismatch and not a fight that anyone would ever have actually asked for but its also not the worst bit of matchmaking in boxing history; its not even the worst matchup this year. Boxing is a "what have you done for me lately" business and if Molina was coming off of that shameful performance in his fight with Broner then this would be a much bigger insult of a fight but the fact that Molina is coming off of a win in an entertaining fight against Ruslan Provodnikov makes him being Crawford's 3rd opponent this year easier to swallow.

And if there is not a collective groan from the boxing media where they shyt all over this as a mismatch it is because of the significance of Haymon and Arum working together to put on a fight. That is the news that the boxing media cares about, the actual fight between Crawford and Molina is a bit of an afterthought in the grand scheme of things because this could be the precursor to Top Rank and PBC fighters actually getting in the ring together on a more regular basis.

yep that's the only good thing that could come out of craw fighting these c fighters. glad someone gets the bigger picture. as much these nikkas complain bout hay/arum beef u would think they would at least acknowledge that.

I can co sign this, that and he just unified with Postol. I'm just happy Crawford gets to fight a third time this year.

Oh yeah TR/PBC openly working with each other is a good sign of things to come as well.

edit Sugar John isn't PBC

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

I didn't watch the Schaef dog clip, does he say much besides that?

Not really basically just that and that Canelo isn't scared of anyone. He fought Floyd and Trout when people on his team didn't want him to. As well as he thinks that Canelo has a good chance of winning vs. GGG.

 

[JDee323]

so he fighting two guys at the same time

Good to see he's preparing for how many Ortiz's he's gonna be seeing in the ring after he gets hit.

he still advised by haymon tho right? lol every major newstation saying this has patched things with bob n al. so it still just as good.

craw leading the way for the unholy alliance.

that's what u been wanted say since the beginng of time u aint slick I been had ur number.

no u take u take yo L cause u cant prove resume wise that either choice for craw any better. yall just on some" lets gets crawford for what media doing "bullshyt

Ain't nobody got nothing against Crawford...you tripping and in your feelings right now it seems breh.

and yes Crawford been in the cherry picking club breh breh cause no one hes been fighting is on his fukking level.

I mean, when you have a toss up between a blown up/undersized Yuriorkis Gamboa, Ricky Burns, or Viktor Postol as the best fighter you ever faced....

and since we love ring ratings so much we shouldn't be arguing about whos better. craw is no6 p4p which automatically means hes better than any fighter he could ever face in the future at 140-147-154.....no need to respond back cause Crawford is cleary beter than broner cause ring mag said so. #consistency

There's 0 consistency in what you said, bc I never said that

You must not have read this part:

However, RING Rankings =/= what level fighter you are. Its just the #1 rankings source for fighters by the Boxing Media.

There are no rankings in Boxing which hold more weight to the Boxing Media than RING Magazine's ratings...that's why Crawford is sitting all the way up at #5 P4P and being highly touted by the Boxing Media, when his best 3 wins are Burns/Gamboa/Postol...not exactly Murderers Row tbh, while someone like an undefeated Danny Garcia's top 3 wins of Khan/Matthysse/Peterson cant even get him a sniff of the P4P list.

Relax breh...you made this easier for me than it was for AB & DeMarco to beat Molina:aboutbillions:

Exactly. He's aligned with Haymon the same way Imam & Diaz is.


Most hardcore fans should be able to agree that Terence Crawford vs Felix Diaz Jr is a good matchup because it's high risk - low reward. Terence Crawford vs John Molina Jr is a low risk - low reward fight.

That's why I wanted that fight, bc it's a good one for short notice.

You must not have read this part:

1. no one has anything against craw in here(which ive said a million times) but people constantly say the media don't judge fair. so I guess yall gonna "right" that in these thread discussions?nope u would need to get a media platform and call out the biased media/craw camp or anyone u got a problem with. bytching online aint getting the job done my friends.

2. which is why I don't like the list. they should have a seperate one for skills then a separate one for resume.

even then shyt would be fukked up. I don't give a fukk bout no ring rating or any kind every since they put that ronrousey mma man on the cover....they aint been legit in a long time imo.

ive said myself way back I didn't think craw belonged on ring rating resume wise....im actually the only one on here that's not part of swift camp that has put danny in a p4p top 10. but im the biased one in his feelings. okay im done.

#we forget.....weeee forgettttt

 

[#SOG_soldier]

told yall. the whole fight is a farce.....nothing how it would have been a 1 year ago. dude has been out of the ring to long...its just a whole cluster fukk.

Yup Walters got outta line now bob bout to reprimand him. how can u beat a top 5 p4p nikka off a year long layoff ?

 

[Newzz]

When Lomachenko beats Walters (like I always known he would)...I hope we can get Loma vs Tevin Farmer at 130
