“My my how the tables have turned,” undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford tweeted on Tuesday. “@DannySwift you @keithfthurmanjr will never and I mean never get a shot at the top dog and that’s me. Y’all hoe assess didn’t want no smoke when I wanted to fight member. Now y’all want to fight so bad go keep fighting each other like b4.”
Crawford, who just lately dominated Errol Spence in a summer season tremendous combat, is clearly remembering a time when he basically fought on the margins of the welterweight division. Crawford has by no means fought beneath the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) banner that divisional notables Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman have fought beneath. That means it was presumably simpler for PBC fighters to conform to combat each other than it was for somebody outdoors to get a combat with a PBC fighter (although it should be mentioned that Spence himself is a PBC fighter who was, and is, clearly keen to face Crawford).
Whether the assertion is true or not, or whether or not Crawford truly believes it or not, it’s clear the fighter referred to as Bud appears like Garcia and Thurman needed no a part of him whereas he was nonetheless on the margins because the WBO welterweight champion. “It’s funny how all these fighters want to fight now,” he continued, “but back then all they could say was I haven’t fought nobody. Now they begging looking for a check. can’t make this up.” But Crawford wasn’t near completed.
“All these fighters that was claiming to be they own bosses was hiding behind the term “call Al” (PBC boss Al Haymon). Now they speaking like they will combat who ever they wan. Boy y’all some pawns go sit down.” For Crawford, the time to face him within the ring has come and gone. “Y’all created a whole term “he on the wrong side of the street”. When in boxing have you ever ever heard some sit like that until I moved up?” He’s on prime of the world proper now, however it’s clear Crawford felt alienated inside the sport for fairly a while.
“Did me dirty. Had all these people that don’t know anything about boxing all trying to discredit my accomplishments. He haven’t fought nobody. Lies. But not one wanted to be that so called somebody tho,” he continued. “They say the cream always rise to the top and it looks like I’m the last man standing. I know y’all mad about it but its not my plan this is Gods plan.” Having simply defeated Spence a number of weeks in the past, Crawford has but to declare who he’ll combat subsequent.
