    Crawford has loads of examples of how Arum plays his hand and he should consider moving away from the Top Rank organization.

    Why? Haven't read the thread, but if Horndog gets past Old Man(ny) in the rematch, Crawford will be at the front of the queue for a shot at him. And probably in the US.

    Crawford was dumb to ask for 7 million and pricing himself out of the fight. Fight would have happened if he would have taken 3 million or so and would have been a career payday and would have put himself on the map for big fights if he won. I don't think Bradley ever got over 3 million for fighting pac.

    Not sure where you got your information but Crawford and Pac never talked money. There were virtually no discussions after Postol fought Crawford and Freddie Roach got to see Crawford first hand. Even if the fight had taken place it was a no win for Crawford. If he beat Paq he was supposed to and Paq was old. If he lost than he was never as good as people thought.

    Some would speculate that Arum getting Horn the win is Arums way of getting Crawford a title at 147 with little risk.

    It appears to be so obvious that Arum wanted Pac to lose the fight to Horn..................can't believe he thinks Horn won the fight, he is the only one other than Horn fans............

    The reason GGG pursued Froch was because he was telling anyone that was willing to listen that he would batter GGG along with mentioning the fact that Golovkin would be a possibility if he were to come out of retirement. Froch was always making disparaging remarks about his resume, mentioning that he needs to fight credible names and stop picking on smaller men.

    Any self respecting person isn't going to stand for those kind of disparaging remarks and GGG rightly was more than willing to get in the ring to show Froch just how credible he is. So we can see there was good reason for GGG wanting to put Froch right

    Whereas Manny has not said anything to antagonise Crawford or make him believe that he is concerned about his career for him to become so obsessed about getting in the ring with him. It's all on Crawford's own back for his pursuit of Manny, banking on that fight to define his career

    As for Postal, don't be so bloody stupid. Not everyone was claiming that fight would be proof of P4P no1. Whoever was making that statement needs to stop watching boxing altogether.

    Remind me, who are theses great men that both these fighters fought, between them? Give me some formidable opponents that either Postal or Crawford tore to pieces?

    The only "obsession" is your hatred for Crawford. Idiot columnists on this board complain that Crawford won't fight the likes of Paq and idiots like you call Crawford out for asking for the fight. And of course you will be bitching about Crawford not fighting Thurman or Spence, even though he is not in their weight division.....yet. Meanwhile I don't see you pushi
    The only "obsession" is you and your hatred of Crawford. It would not make any difference who Crawford beat because you would find some excuse to not give him credit. You can hate all you want but you are going to have to live with Crawford as champion for a few more years. Learn to live with it :)

    Remember when Ward was talking about Golovkin too, so much that Golovkins "team" wrote some stupid letter to Andre Ward? Then Ward contacted them about a fight in 2016 at 168? And k2 fired back in a half hour "NO" so they could fight Dom Wade and Kell Brook?

    Meanwhile hes been chasing a fight with a guy that has 0 wins against middleweights?

    Sure ya dont....

    What a bunch of sad mugs.
