Comments Thread For: Arum Confident Crawford Can Hold His Own With McGregor in UFC

[Beercules]

I like Bud but in the octagon he would get his ass kicked.

[MulaKO]

Its a good offer, A prime WC Boxer in the cage with a prime UFC star, its very intriguing.

In a boxing ring Connor will be stopped.

You saying Bud won’t get stopped in the octagon
I bet you he gets stopped in the octagon faster than Bud knocks him out in the ring

Wtf?! This is a really bizarre era of boxing. YouTubers boxing, MMA vs boxing, can we just respect both sports and not do this crossover/circus fights!

Pure bullchit
It’s a disrespect to either sport and to the fighters who train a lifetime to achieve their goals
And kind of getting old real quick imo

A 200 pound catchweight, and I will buy the PPV.

Last week, Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum made plenty of headlines when he detailed his desire to match WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford in a cross-sport clash with UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

... "Crawford would not be lost in the octagon because he comes from a wrestling background. He is, I think, a world-class wrestler.", Arum said...

I don't know what Arum meant by "he comes from a wrestling background. He is, I think, a world-class wrestler." Wikipedia, for instance, reads that Crawford started boxing at the age of 7...

Does anybody here know more about his supposed "wrestling background"?...

JR. High School wrestling. That’s like saying “I played ball in High School” so that qualifies me to take down LeBron in 1 on 1. His level of “wrestling” and grappling is juvenile compared to pro ranks and he’d be absolutely destroyed in the Octogon

[TheReadyTimeBoy]

Calling Bud a world class wrestler cause he wrestled in Jr High is hilarious. There's world of difference between that and the guys in the UFC

[JonDP]

Arum has no way of making Crawford relevant due to the lack of top rank-viable opponents so he's making this crap up. Never going to happen.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Crawford consistently packs 10K-15K in Omaha and has had some of the highest rated fights of the year since Top Rank joined ESPN. If people don't know who he is, you've set the bar at a level that only 1-2 people in boxing can reach (Canelo, Joshua) so you're not really dissing him as much as you're dissing the sport (i.e. the top fighters in the sport are irrelevant to the public at large).

Crawford should be bigger than he is but I put that on him.

I,ll take that bet, did you miss where Arum says modified rules, if Bud has a chance to punch he might KO him in the cage too.

Either way Im up for watching it.
