    Or will he remained locked in a cage under Bob Arum's desk?

    The biggest waste of talent I've probably seen in my 12 years of following this sport in my opinion if not.

    He only has 2/3 years left in him.

    Edit: Looking doubtful.

    Crawford is young and in his prime. He's got a good 5-8 years if he doesn't get brutally KO'd.

    All downhill from 32 years old & onwards. Can't get physically better.

    Might as well wait around and hope for Pac payday I guess and wait for Spence to get too big to make 147 which is very very soon.

    Shot to pieces Thurman maybe?

    Hopefully Spence. But are we we really so sure he'd win it?

    Watch Ennis or Ortiz become his mandatory, and watch Crawford duck.

    Hard to say. He isn't all that active in pursuing the big fights. A lot of talk but no realization, which could all be Arum's fault.

    Sad to say, but this is the perception of him. If youd have asked me 5 years ago I would have said it would have happened by now but here we are still waiting for his career defining moment. I cant tell if its him, arum, or both - but something needs to give.

    I doubt Pacquaio fancies the fight. How's Spence recovering from his car crash? His win over Gamboa at the time was pretty big at the time and he's beaten numerous world champions over 3 divisions but probably no greats that define the era. We basically need Crawford-Spence ASAP

    I remember watching Crawford fight Ricky Burns at the beginning of 2014 and thinking he’s gonna be in some good fights in the next year or so.....

    It’s really a shame he isn’t getting the big names.

    Ennis is just hype at the moment,he's done nothing to suggest he's ready for a Crawford fight.
