    And go to PBC to get the big fights made.

    His career has stalled the casuals/mainstream have never heard of him and at 32years old he is in danger of sliding into irrelevance

    Truth
    Bop Arum is single handedly
    KOing the kids career.
    Time to move on like all the other marketable & $uccesful ex-Arum fighters have.

    He's now on 2 fights a year. Do you want him to sign with the haymon to go back to once a year fights against maybe Pac or Thurman?

    Can he leave without a breech of contract?

    Inclined to agree. Postol is still his career best win, which is a plenty decent win, but he needs more

    Arum is the reason why his resume is weak and untested.
    But at his age he may not have a lot left even when he leaves Arum at this point. He may decline sooner than later.

    Because PBC has done such a marvellous job with its welterweight roster...
    Spence was supposed to be the next big thing after he beat Brook, but how well has that played out? His only meaningful fight since then has been against Porter. 1 top welterweight in over 2 years.

    Porter has had some big fights: Brook, Thurman, Cherry Garcia, Spence, Broner. But that is over the course of 5 years.

    Cherry Garcia fought Guerrero in 2016, Thurman in 17 and Porter in 18. So once every now and then we are given something to get excited about.

    Thurman has had a spectacular run but he has also seen ridiculous layoffs.

    Crawford would end up in a similar position he is now. He would not be guaranteed fights against the best.
    However Crawford needs to pressure Arum into making these fights, as they are winnable. Top Rank will work with others if the money is right.

    I think the point is, at least they're fighting each other

    Once in a blue moon, and we never get the nr 1 guy vs the nr 2.

    Wasted his prime years away by staying with Top Rank. Should have gone to PBC or DAZN.

    Pac, Thurman, Spence, and Porter all fought twice this year, which matches Crawford's output.

    PBC fans years ago - "All top rank does is in-house fights!!"
    PBC Fans today - "TC needs to move to PBC to fight those in the stable"

    :duh
