Terence Crawford v David Avanesyan 10/12/23

[TitoFan]

Ok.

So we know that 147-pound Crawford can beat David (who?) Avanesyan.

We know he can beat the toothy Shawn Porter.

We know he can beat "damaged goods" Kell Brook.

We know he can beat glass-chinned Amir Khan.



And now... I guess now we'll never know whether he could have beaten Errol Spence, because the damn guy just had another car crash.

So...



So basically we're left with millions of pages of writing by boxing experts and fans alike... with reams upon reams of babbling social media... opining about a fight that will NEVER happen.

In fact... a fight that was probably never going to happen in the first place.

Why? Because boxing today is all about "the talk."

It's about the Ryan Garcias of the world, who... with ONE good fight in his resume... calls himself King... has a billion Instagram followers... and gets more free press than fighters who have toiled in obscurity for years.

It's about Spence and Crawford and their mythical matchup.

Bloody hell. I'll bet there's been better physical brawls between followers of these two... than they themselves will EVER have.



Sometimes this sport makes me sick.

Don’t leave out Tank being “the man” at 135 even though he isn’t a champion and hasn’t fought a championship level fighter in the division they campaign except once, against Jose Pedraza 5 years ago. But it’s okay because he may fight an Instagram star next year.

There’s little more disgraceful than what has happened at 135. And the guy that did the right things has to run around begging, carrying all the belts and begging

I’m really struggling to maintain the love
