F--- boxing

Bud embarrasses a pretty great fighter, Kell Brook.

Is Crawford the best fighter in the best division in boxing?

Sure looks like it. And he still hasn't fought Spence. Or Pacquiao. Or Porter. Thurman. Ugas. Danny Garcia. Mikey Garcia.

So many matches to make, but no one wants him.

 

Crawford is better than Floyd ever was. More weapons, more combinations, more fearless, more courage. He's beaten everyone except Haymon's welters who are all protected from losing to him. Arum and Crawford want Spence first and foremost and will not bother with Porter. Why give Haymon and Porter the payday and the chance to rig the judges? Crawford is too good for his own good. He has beaten Spence without needing to land a single punch. Haymon and Spence have no confidence to challenge Crawford. Did you know Haymon's record vs Arum fighters is 1-13? The one win being the rigged Floyd fight vs Pac, which the judges were rigged to give it to Floyd. Floyd knew it and knew he only had to box careful and last the distance and the robbery was for him.

Crawford is superior to Floyd in every category. But of course Floyd would have ducked him forever, blaming Arum and PPV #s or falsely accusing Bud of using PEDs. Floyd was a fraud pretender who has even admitted twice to being a coward and being okay with it. It's on video.

Crawford is too good for his own good and is scaring away all the best names, this happens to certain great fighters. Paul Williams, Gennady Golovkin, Angel Vazquez, were also cheated out of big fights they deserved and earned.

 

I thought Brook won the first three rounds and Crawford turned the fight around with a right that might have traveled six inches.

The postfight bullshit after Franco-Moloney was a joke. Thirty-plus minutes to review three minutes of action? If you're going to use replay use it correctly. Moloney was right to be pissed. He should be a champion today.

 

I thought Bud won all the rounds and then dropped the nuclear bomb at precisely the right moment. Now Spence and all of Haymon's protected fraud pretenders will continue to run far far away from Bud Crawford who is clearly better than Mayweather.

Crawford Is Better Than Mayweather

 

Kell Brook hasn't been a great fighter in years. He's had his face broken twice and was probably on water and dry tuna fish to make 147. Brook, to his credit, takes any challenge. He fought GGG when no one else would, but he's a wasted fighter.

As for Crawford. Bob Arum's thoughts after the fight tells you exactly what HE thinks of Crawford so Crawford needs to leave Top Rank ASAP and go somewhere else...anywhere else.

Crawford's problem is he is too good for his own good. Mayweather ruined boxing mentality in American, now almost all Americans run from danger and handpick easy low risk opponents. The American public does not realize how great Crawford is, many suspect he is another fake fraud pretender like Floyd Mayweather, who was so blatantly a fraud, that he even called himself a coward twice on video, TWICE! Crawfout rd is suffering the backlash of the post Fraud Mayweather era. Sports fans just don't trust American boxers now after Floyd's boring fixed career. Wilder was 41-0 but he didn't sell either - because he was a fixed fake fraud finally exposed by Fury.

It's a shame, Crawford is truly extraordinary and sensation but his career is in the wrong era, the worst era to be a great America boxer.

Mayweather did a lot of damage to the sport of boxing and it's integrity and image.

 

The sport changed with or without Mayweather.

Boxers fight less often. So rivalry fights are made less often.

As much as I'd like to see Golovkin fight Alvarez five times, this isn't 1950.

And 'undefeated' records have been suspicious since long before the days of Jem Mace or Tom Cribb. That said, it's not very hard to get a talented fighter to 20 - 0 without fixing anything.

 

Stipulated. And agreed.

 

No, Floyd ruined boxing. He embodied business first, cowardice and handpicking not daring to be great. He was rigged to be the franchise face of the sport. He was rigged to fake counterfeit success. Now most young American boxers are following the same fraud blueprint. It is ruining the sport in America. Outside of Crawford there are no great fighters. There is not a single good American heavyweight. Eastern Europeans are producing the best fighters now. That's not racist, it's a fact, the truth.

 

The American boxing blueprint set by RoyJones and Floyd is build up a good record, then have corrupt manager secure a long term guaranteed TV contract, then handpick low risk easy opposition while avoiding the best, to inflate fraud record and secure the next long term guaranteed network contract. The losers are the fans and history who get cheated out of all the best vs the best fights. Instead you get Mayweather vs hired patsies, handpicked tomato cans, UFC novices and bought off divers.

 

Floyd was actually in boxing to make money and not get his ass kicked. He did see it as a business. Boxing was built on a lot of poorly educated people, mostly people of color, that didn't understand their value and took a lot of unnecessary trauma for less money. I'm not going to debate Floyd's book smarts, but he understood his value and put himself in favorable positions to gain the most with the least amount of risk. More power to him. They call 'em prize fighters, not free fighters.
