That's like saying Roy Jones Jr. was ducking Sven Ottke. Hell, Ottke had faced better opposition than Crawford.
When will Crawford fight a top tier welter? Horne and Benevidez aren't that. Khan damn sure isn't. Crawford chose to get back with Top Rank, knowing Arum and Haymon don't get along. So would I like to see them fight, sure. Am I mad they aren't fighting? No. Spence has options, Porter rematch, Garcia, Pac, Thurman, Williams etc. Crawford fighting scrubs, doesn't make a fight with Spence any more mouth watering for me. Crawford fighting Porter, and beating him legit, would.
Dude... enough with this picking sides on this. Neither TR or Haymon should be doing this ****, because it's us fans who lose out for ****'s sake... Are you just some Haymon fanboy or something?
I'm not picking sides. I'm laying some of the blame at Crawford's feet. He knew he wouldn't have access to PBC's welters, but instead of signing with PBC, DAZN, or becoming a free agent, he decided to go back to the place where he wouldn't have any viable opponents.
And yet here you are, perfectly fine w/ him being frozen out because of promoter issues. It doesn't matter who a fighter signs with. If PBC doesn't want him to face their WW's, it's them who are being unreasonable.
This quote makes sense only if Spence moves up, he does have options at 154. But at 147 there's only 1 fight we all want to see.
I just want to see the fight. However, I’m interested to hear why YOU think Crawford needs to leave Top Rank for the fight to happen, while making no mention of Spence needing to leave Uncle Al. Both guys, Alpha males at that, are happy with their respective promoters. Either way, I look forward to hearing your rationale.
