The Official Terence Crawford vs Raymundo Beltran Thread

[Gizza]

I agree with you. Doug Fischer spoke on this and about Crawford's last 3 opponents (Ricky Burns, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Raymundo Beltran):

Burns was clearly on the decline going into their fight. Though I favored the gutsy Scotsman, I thought (like most) that he deserved to lose his draw with Beltran, and then “the Rickster” lost his bout right after the Crawford fight. I know Gamby had a lot of hype being an undefeated Cuban and all, but I gave the hyperactive midget very little shot of beating Crawford given his inactivity and gross technical flaws. Bottom line: Gamby was overrated and not a real lightweight.

Which brings us to Saturday’s performance: Crawford was brilliant. He once again proved that he’s a complete fighter. He can box and attack, and he can do it coming forward or moving, from southpaw or orthodox stances. He’s smart but he’s tough and he’s got heart. That combo was too much for Beltran, who is good enough to beat lower-top 10/fringe contenders and prospects, but not an elite talent in his prime. I thought Beltran was robbed against Sharif Bogere (as well of Burns, of course) but I thought his loss to then-prospect Luis Ramos was legit. And Ramos wasn’t a blue-chip prospect or talented enough to really establish himself at 135 pounds.

My point is that yes, Crawford is hands down the man at lightweight, but let’s not go crazy and call him a pound-for-pound player and future hall of famer just yet. And let’s not make him a huge favorite to stop every junior welterweight standout in the game.

I have no doubt that Crawford can compete at 140 pounds but I don’t think he would dominate Garcia or Matthysee. Both guys have the power to hurt Crawford and both possess the skill/experience to land their bombs. I’d love to see those fights

so thats what it is...you wont give him his props because he's an arum fighter who's not disgruntled and/or has a bone to pick with him to anyone's knowledge...you could have said the weight thing bothers you and you want him to move up...dude doesn't need to go to 147..140 is fine for him....that kid has solid solid boxing skills and is a disciplined fighter.. something in the past which you've claimed to admire..you're over in other threads complaining the hate berto and broner get is disgusting....however those 2 nikkas have 10 cent boxing brains among other glaring flaws...i dont stan anyone by their promoter breh..never have and never will...im not that skj cat who stans blindly any fighter that signs with haymon...if i was a top rank fanboy id be the biggest stan of jr who i think is the biggest undeserving bum in boxing who happens to be an arum fighter...i dont even stan crawford but he got my respect as a fighter...you need to check yourself

I don't dislike Crawford at all breh. Just speaking the real. Dude does not have to tarnish his reputation by saying on a weight class he does not belong but you're right about me not supporting a Arum fighter. He always uses propaganda for his fighters which I can't agree with

I just can't rock with Crawford. He's a good dude and his Jab is a fukking spear, but hIs style isn't fun to watch.

I hope he blows up tho, we need more anti floyds in the boxing world.

The other anti Floyds ain't cutting it

Bradley is good, but 20 years from whose going cop a poster with his face on it?

I want someone to be the opposite of Floyd but Crawford ain't the one.

I don't get the Bradley hate man, if half of these fighters had Bradley's attitude boxing wouldn't be in such a shyt predicament for the last few years.
