Speed can make a guy look like a killer against scrubby opposition... even Hector Camacho Jr blew away a few patsies on the way up Russell hits a speed bag more impressively than Crawford but that's it
I agree Crawford is better but Russell has faced the tougher competition. I don't think Crawford has beaten anyone as good as Diaz.
Russell's competition, short of getting shut out by Loma, has been horendous. Guy has one of the weakest resume of wins in the sport. The Crawford hate on this forum is outta control. This is a forum where Loma and Spence are loved, yet Bud is despised. For fucking WHY is my question?? Who TF has Bud ducked or avoided? I'll wait. Your boy Porter is scared shitless of Spence. Bud isnt.
Ill believe he isnt scared of anybody decent when he sign to face one. Its easy to yap on the sideline, and so far porter had shown he isnt scared to face the best, while bud hasnt done anything to suggest he isn't And russell wasnt whitewashed by loma, not even close
How quickly people forget that Crawford had the balls to fight and dominate Postol just after Cherry Garcia had pulled a duck job of Postol. It was only AFTER that Postol was called a bum.
Nah, i always said postol sucked. It was obvious for anyone who knows anything about boxing. Average stiff euro bum who fights with a broom up his ass. And at garcia ducking him.
Just keep in mind that everybody's God, Loma, will be facing Crawford's leftovers ( Beltran) in his next fight.
I'd agree with you a month ago. But Diaz was a good opponent. That leaves two guys Russell has faced better than anyone TC has faced. I personally don't think it's his fault but TC's resume is crappy.
Diaz is nothin special... at all. Probably no better than Felix Diaz, with the difference being, Crawford dismantles guys that level... while Russell struggles.
yea what makes jojo diaz better than felix diaz? felix diaz was a better amateur and has better pro victories also, including the fight vs peterson where he was robbed
The fact remains that the Diaz (the one Russell beat) has done nothing and beaten nobody. Just cause Russell struggled with him doesn't make him quality.
