Comments Thread For: Charlo on Crawford: Sit Your Ass Down at 147! Humble Yourself, Go Fight Spence!

[MONGOOSE66]

I’m so shocked to hear this from Mell. While most fighters would love to get a pay day from Bud. This, “over the hill” veteran runs away. Pathetic. Keep fighting “no risk” fighters or even better. Retire.

In my opinion the reason I say I wont a winner right now is activity on Buds part. If he is gonna move up he should go ahead and do it or get a fight signed at 147 and stay busy until Charlo and Castano work out their fight. At his age staying out of the ring for a year and moving up to fight the top tier at 154 could bite him on the a$$ I do agree P4P Bud is bare minimum number 2 if not 1 and 1A with Canelo

Makes sense

Poor resume was my take away from your comment.
Crawford is a really good fighter but has the worst WW resume in the history of boxing.

Very True. Such a talent but nobody on his record

I agree with Charlo. Crawford is a great great talent but he isn't a PPV draw plain and simple. Lots of guys are talented but can't fill an arena. Spence has more belts, took less money to become a champion and it worked out for him. Spence has earned the right to call the shots and he is the A side. Crawford is the B side when it comes to bargaining. If Crawford took a smaller percentage to fight Spence then won that fight then the tables would be turned. Crawford has no bargaining power. Then to be arrogant enough to think that he can move up to 154lbs and challenge Charlo will be the same scenario. He doesn't call the shots.

Charlo is 100% right on this one.

[mjh1969]

Not when one fighter has 3 belts, and the other has only 1. Not to mention Crawford vs. Porter only sold 125K PPVs. Spence won't take less than 60%, nor should he!

Agree with you on this.

Well said Charlo

Charlo on scared street with Jr Spence

Bud won't get a Charlo fight, for the same reason he won't get a Spence fight! I wish he would sign with Mayweather! If he did, I bet he would get both fights! At this point, I don't even know if Bud could get a fight with Vergil Ortiz Jr.? The only fighter at 147 that would fight him ASAP, is Jaron "Boots" Ennis!!!

Ennis is young, strong and knocking guys out. That fight would be too much of a risk for Crawford.

Crawford easy undisputed at 147. PBC is a joke, has been holding up the division since 2015-16 when FMW tried to get Thurman to fight Spence. Ignorant boxing fans still support this nonsense.

Crawford can outbox Charlo since James has literally turned him into a slugger and he has forgotten everything Shields and Lara taught him but Crawford likes to get into exchanges. Not a good idea for a smaller fighter coming up against Jermell. That makes it a 50/50 fight I want to see.

Al Haymon blocks both undisputed fighters and ignorant boxing fans will co-sign the nonsense as usual

Do you want to see the fights are not? If not, why are you here? To fanboy.

Charlo didn’t mention Porter, who beat Garcia and lost a close one to Spence, bc it dont fit all the crap pouring out of his mouth. Crawford did what Spence could not - Ko Porter. All those veteran Pbc Ww are all pretty much on the same level - good but not great. They all already did their in house Pbc round-robin..all were close decisions …no kos bc Spence, Garcia, and Thurman all prefer to play it safe and are content with going the distance…Porter was the exception. And Charlo calling himself Ko artist is hilarious!

sounds like a duck to me
