Should fight Jaron Ennis next. Offer Ennis 25% of the purse. Take it or leave. Let the young man bet on himself. Again, take it or leave it. Then move up to 154. Nothing really else is out there at 147. Thump Tszyu and then Charlo to become a 4 weight champ.
Crawford alrdy offered Ennis the fight and Boots turned it down. This is not disputable - Boots and his team turned the fight down. https://3kingsboxing.com/team-ennis-loyalty-showtime-rejects-blk/ Boots is a good fighter and all but him and his people know Bud hurts him and ruins his career
It's time for a Big Doodle to face up to a Tszyu. It's pretty lame seeing Doodles calling for Budrick to face a Junior Doodle who hasn't done squat to deserve it. Face up to King Timmy & let's see if Budrick really is the P4P #1 that many claim he is. I just hope he doesn't suddenly turn Charlo on us. Party in the TsyzUSA!
He needs to fight Super Boots who is clearly at worst the second most talented and dangerous fighter in his division. Who in complete contrast to all the featherfists, average punchers, leprechauns, C and D level plodders and cripples he's forged a 40 fight career feasting on, is a power punching athletic phenom who can match him for size and reach and also possesses blazing hand speed and good skills. Crawford knows damn well the risk of him getting KO'd is infinitely higher against a power punching athletic phenom his size like Super Boots than it is against these featherfists, average punchers, leprechauns cripples he's fought. Klimov Postol Burns Indongo Beltran Jean Lundy Horn Diaz Dulorme Khan - shot Benavidez Porter Brook - shot Avanesyan Molina Egis Gamboa Spence Clenelo is shamelessly ducking Benavidez for the same reason even though unlike Crawford he has fought some legit bangers and savage punchers his size or close to. He's dragging up very inactive 154 and 160 pounders with mental health issues and looking in every nook and cranny for much easier touches rather than manning up to face the power punching hungry young lions in his own division like Benavidez and Morrell and his surrogate father Bivol in a rematch because he knows the risk of him getting his ass whooped is infinitely higher. Fight the killers in your own division if you claim to be the king of it instead of tucking tail and letting them chase you out of it Marvelous Marvin is turning in his grave. RIP
It's for a world title! How many guys are there who would JUMP at the chance to make that kind of a payday, knowing that they'd probably lose? If he's scared to lose he needs to get into another line of work besides fighting. Sort of like a football player who skips this weekend because the other team is better and I might get hurt.
You say Amir Khan and Brook was shot when you also say that Riddick Bowe wasn't shot when he fought Golota with brain damage.
With Spence out of the way - and seemingly not interested in a rematch, the WW division is pretty dull RN as there isn't anyone out there Crawford has to prove himself against. Yes, Ennis is good but he hasn't really beaten anyone worthy of a Crawford shot IMO, he needs that Barrios or Santillion fight. I doubt it will happen, but I think the best fight would be Crawford against Haney at WW, if Haney fancied it. However, I expect Crawford to move up to SW to fight Charlo which is a bit meh but Crawford doesn't have too many options. If this is the case, hopefully we see Crawford/Charlo winner fight Tszyu/Thurman winner.
