Comments Thread For: Sebastian Fundora wants to prove hes No 1 by fighting Terence Crawford

Forget Spence and go for Murtazaliev if belts are so important. Then with the 3 belts, you may draw Crawford in.

Good suggestion but also a very dangerous one. The way Martazaliev iced Tszyu I am not sure Fundora could take those shots. He also does not bring money to the table so high risk, low reward fight. I think Fundora wants to milk this for as long as possible and make as much money as possible before someone knocks him out again.

Someone suggested that Crawford could be one fight away from getting old in the ring. I have a feeling this might be true and is likely to happen very soon. I really like Crawford, but his inactivity really worries me. Fighting once per year for several years is like retiring multiple times and then coming out of retirement again each time. After a few years of inactivity like this, you are no longer an elite fighter, but you don't know it yet. We saw that in his last fight he already slipped a little. He could not get away from that right hand all night and kept getting nailed. The younger Crawford would have made an adjustment, but his current body could not do it.

I have to admire and appriciate a 6' 5" young fighter calling out an aged killer like Crawford but don't let it get yo A*S*S kicked!

Well it is prizefighting after all, and everyone looking for the biggest prize. But I don't like hypocrisy.. For the rest, I' m not sure Crawford as aged that much; I just think he fought a really good 154 pounder, so he was not as dominating. I still thinks he beats Fundora fairly easily, because he aint Tzsyu.

Sebastian Fundora needs some better wins on his resume, before challenging Terrence Crawford 'Because right now? Even thought Sebastian Fundora is the WBC, and WBO 154 pound Champion. His resume is lacking the overall accreditation which rates him as a Elite level fighter'.

Fighters such as Terrence Crawford and Errol Spence Junior 'Are at the level in the sport, where it is not the titles they have won which indicates their level. It is the fighters they have fought and beaten throughout the years during their career, which gives them accreditation as Elite level fighters'.

Errol Spence Junior has only been beaten once in his career vs Terrene Crawford I 'The fight was a fair and equal fight, but? Many people within the sport, suspect that making the 147 pound weight limit, had just became too much of a task for Spence Junior. And this requirement had markedly decreased his overall boxing game'.

I have always been adamant that both Terrence Crawford and Errol Spence Junior were really suffering at 147 pounds, at that point in their careers 'They were both weight drained, the only difference between the fighters was? That Errol Spence Junior was suffering more severely with the negative accumulative effects of using such detrimental long term fight preparation methods'.

Note: Errol Spence Junior would be the best fighter Sebastian Fundora has ever fought. There would also be a direct comparison, people within the sport of boxing could make? Between Crawford and Fundora, in their performances against Spence Junior'.

It is straight forward match making in my opinion, that makes a lot of sense for both fighters. Errol Spence Junior wants to potentially re-establish himself as a Elite level fighter, and Sebastian Fundora wants to solidify himself as a Elite level fighter beyond any doubt.

If Fundora beats Spence Junior in more impressive fashion than Terrence Crawford 'Then this can be a part of the promotion, theme and narrative which builds up his challenge to fight Crawford. Sebastian Fundora vs Terrence Crawford would be an even more significant fight, beyond the titles'.

To conclude: So, in my opinion Sebastian Fundora should fight Errol Spence Junior next 'With the ambition of winning in impressive fashion vs a version of Errol Spence Junior who will be less weight drained at 154 pounds, than he was during the latter stages of his career at 147 pounds'.

For both Fundora and Spence Junior 'That is the match up right now, which makes the most sense for them. Terrence Crawford is not aiming to be in fights, where he is the favourite to win at this stage of his career. Crawford has made it clear, that he wants to confront and climb mountains and be involved in fights were he is not favoured to win'.

That is why Terrence Crawford has the ambition to fight Canelo Alvarez in the Super Middle Weight Division etc

Didn't Crawford say he wanted this Fundora fight? He even expressed irritation on Spence saying Errol should fall in line. Then WBO ordered the Crawford/Fundora fight and he backed out. Crawford is becoming a nuisance in this sport. Just retire man.
