Comments Thread For: Crawford Responds to Errol Spence Injury: 'Last I Can Recall We Definitely Get Our Eyes Checked Before Every Fight'

[A.B Counterhooks]

When is the last time u seen a guy who can pump jabs in ur face that u can't block or get away from and slip and counter all your shots at the same time, from both orthodox and southpaw stances? Someone who knocks ppl out with every punch in the book? Someone who dominates everyone put in front of him and doesn't even lose rounds in the process. A guy who can fight 12 fast paced rounds and stand up in the corner between rounds and barely breathing hard at the end? When u say Boots isn't proven, thats disrespectful to all the pros who trained hard and got in there and tried to do something with him. U act like they aren't professional fighters. U say they ain't nobody but any one of them could turn a regular street dude into a vegetable. Boots makes them look like nobodies but they are tough pros, not the bums everyone likes to call them. Custio Clayton was just one example. An unbeaten Olympian with like 20 pro fights under his belt. U don't go to the Olympics if u can't fight. Boots smoked him in one round. Van Heerden very experienced pro, Lipinets hard nosed.experienced pro, Dulorme experienced pro. I believe he challenged for a title once. These dudes all got smoked by Boots easily. And its the way he does it. Its different everytime. Different shots, different combinations. The right shots at the right time. He knows exactly what he's doing in the ring. He's facing everyone put in front of him and smoking them in devastating and creative fashion. And he's calling out all the top guys by name, and has done so for a couple years now. That proves he's completely confident in his skills. That proves he has heart. No one with a name accepts his challenge or says they want to fight him.That proves that boxers see something in Boots that the critics of Boots' resume don't see. Boots is very proven at this point. 29-0 with 27 ko's? His record proves that ur chances of taking a nap if u face him, is very high indeed

Whoa whoa pump those brakes my guy I would never call any pro fighter a bum or a nobody no matter how good or bad fighter is, Im perfectly aware of Boots skillset and abilities, Im just saying he not that proven yet at the very top of the ww division thats all. Good thing is, As the poster above pointed out correctly, Boots just 26 so that means he just entering his prime years so yeah, A LOT more to prove still but for now the best ww on the planet is named Terrence Crawford that is til he decides to move north in weight of course. Let me ask you this ,lets say Bud decides to make one last dance at 147 against Ennis next, who would you pick to win honestly? Based on what we've seen from both guys so far.

[Oregonian]

Fair enough. Boots just entering his prime years so im sure we still yet to see his best version at 147 maybe even 154 no doubt about that, thing is 38 yo Bud claimed is no longer that easy for him to make the ww limit plus he seems to be more interested moving up to conquer a new division ,right now realistically speaking his best option is to fight Tim for sww belt or one last scrap at ww against Ennis. Personally I prefer TC to test the waters at new weightclass.

If Bud moves to 154, the Boots fight is essentially over.
That aside, Bud will make Tim look like and amateur. He’ll still collect a huge paycheck. Perhaps more than if he fought Boots.

Guess who mostly everyone considers the top welterweight now? It’s boots. Shot yourself in the foot there buddy

First of all, ignorant F**k.....you simply proved my point but you are too idiotic to see that. I pointed out that you simple mfers were wrong by just suggesting a guy is the top dog simply because you don't want to congratulate Crawford. And look what y'all are doing again.

Second....nobody but you clueless bums think Boot is the top welterweight. And what y'all think is about as important as the precise moment when dog **** turns white. Jaron Ennis can't even sell out a high school gymnasium. He hasn't even had a purse that more than half a mil.... The mfer has yet to even headline a major card. On top of the fact that his resume isn't worth of wiping the sweat off Crawford's face between rounds with.......but y'all consider him to be the top welterweight?.......lol. The title he currently has was given to him via email. He didn't even fight for a vacant belt..... You don't even realize how silly you sound.

[Str8.2.Da.Point]

Lol my thoughts exactly. Boots Ennis has so much yet to prove its beyond absurd to even put his name on same paragraph as those legends.

Exactly....

As far as possible opponents for bud at 47 boots is the top dog regardless if it hurts your feelings or not. Dumbass

[Str8.2.Da.Point]

Don't take it from me, read Bud's own words.

“Errol Spence is a great fighter, but there’s no comparison. When you compare Errol Spence to Terence Crawford, there’s no comparison. I’m already going to the Hall of Fame. If we retire right now, he’s not going to the Hall of Fame."

Yeah, that's really 4 Kings status

I'm going to need you to pay attention before trying to respond with such a clueless quote......

I pointed out, WHAT THE PUBLIC was considering. It was you Spence fans, social media clowns, YouTubers, etc....that was labeling Spence the big dog and suggesting that Crawford feared Spence somehow. Claimed that Crawford NEEDED Spence to be his ticket to the Hall of Fame..... Crawford was a 6x world champ, 2x Lineal, ESPY Award Winner, 2x Fighter of the Year, Former Undisputed, etc.... before Crawford. That was y'alls agenda......

Crawford's quote here, was apart of a specific conversation during the press conference. You tried to cherry pick specific quotes to fit your current argument...... Your energy was different when Crawford was making the quote... A lot of y'all looked at Crawford sideways and called him delusional.....Now y'all agree with him that your Man Crush wasn't as great as y'all campaigned him to be...... FOH.

All everyone is stating is for Boots to get a shot at Bud. Pretty simple. He gets beat, he goes home.

Bud is responding to Teo’s nonsense and now everyone prefers Teo over Boots. I’m guessing Teo is anyone’s “Ray, Duran or Hearns”?

People are suggesting a little more regarding Boots than you are saying, but I get it.....

Teo is an a$$ clown... Dude lies to himself, calling himself Undisputed. Most recently questioned his own abilities, but then have the nerve to try to belittle some else's accomplishments. Especially being that he himself is trying to do what he did and even claiming to want to get in the ring with him. Teo is acting like some throw away chick at the school dances trying to twerk extra hard hoping the boys will surround her.

If Crawford doesn't rematch Spence (which I wouldn't mind if he didn't), the only fights I personally want to see him in is Boots if he stays at 147, or move up and challenge for a title at 154.

Try as you may, you're not going to dance around Bud's own words. And Spence is still the biggest name on his resume.

Speaks volumes, don't it? Talent aside, by Crawford's own admission he has never faced a Hall of Fame level fighter.

Maybe the both of you should just be quiet?

[-Kev-]

The wheelchair is a nice touch. Perhaps the addition of a neck brace would have been the chef's kiss to illustrate the fact that he was an injured fighter going into the Spence fight.

Spence got beat down comprehensively and stopped. We didn't hear these excuses prior to the fight and we wouldn't have heard them had he won.

In reality, Spence had actually warned Crawford in an interview, that due to his car accident injuries, he doesn’t have much time left in boxing. This was when Crawford was using the “I don’t need Spence” card and Spence was basically telling him to hurry up and make the fight as he’s almost done.

So it was certainly there before the fight.

[OnePunch]

so Boots is the new boogeyman now?? FOH.....

Boots pops was offered the Crawford fight, and his response was "nah, we good"


I'm calling it now. If somehow Bud vs Boots gets made, after Bud ghouls him, then people will be like "well Boots was too green, Bud fought him before he was ready", and other ish like that......
