    “If I could fight all the fighters, you know, and then walk away, Pacquiao would be the number one. Spence, he’ll be right after that. Danny Garcia. Keith Thurman. And that’s it.”

    If he wanted to fight the top guys he should've never resigned with Arum.

    He signed a new multiyear deal back in 2018. That screams duck to me. Even non champs in 147 has a better resume than him.

    What if Brook's corpse manages to roll back the years and de-Good Boy himself just long enough in order to detonate a chocolate brownie finisher on Crawfy's suspect mandible section?

    And I thought Andre Ward's retirement was met with a collective shrug. (LOL)

    If Crawford really wanted any of those fights at least one of them would have happened by now hence why Bud is collecting an easy payday against a shot, shell of a fighter next.

    Danny had a contract for 3 million and refused to sign. Crawford has called out Spence for over two years but Spence would rather fight Mikey Garcia, who went up 2 weight divisions, and Danny Garcia. Tell your boys from PBC to fight him and quit bitching

    That is BS. All you have to do is make a fight REGARDLESS of whether you are TR or PBC. It took Danny 3 years to get a fight with Spence. If you want to slow play it you can regardless of who you sign with. IF PBC thought they had someone who could beat Crawford they would have been knocking on the door to fight him. So far only old man Porter has offered up his son. The same guy who told Crawford there would be no fight with Shawn until Crawford "had a belt". Pay back is a *****.

    Spence has no reason (0.0%) reason to duck Crawford after this fight with Garcia if he wins.

    This HAS to be the next fight. Pac is chasing McGregor and Mikey Garcia , which are good matchups for him at 41yrs old. He's fighting neither of these guys and that's good.

    Spence vs Crawford has to happen next.

    If Garcia beats spence, and he very well may, then he'll try to avenge Porter and Thurman. Crawford will have to settle for Ramirez/Taylor winner.

    He didn't say he wants 4 more fights, he's saying he wants to fight those 4 in particular before retiring. How likely is those 4 would be consecutive?

    If he beats all those guys and retires that's a pretty damn good career anyways. This thread is reaching for the stars

    My boys lol. If he wanted the fights so badly he should've left top rank.

    You may as well ask: What if he grew to ten feet tall and landed an NBA contract. Neither will happen and I’m pretty sure the boxing one has less of a chance after that horrific beating GGG gave him.

    P.S. If Brook somehow manages to win is it bigger than Lopez Loma in terms of upset or are we headed even deeper towards the AJ Ruiz territory?

    Yeah being Good Boy'd is a death sentence for your career

    Not sure but it would be huge

    Those 4 are a decent lineup although his history tells us the liklihood of him achieving that is very low.

    If he fought one of them it would be a momentous occassion.
