    Crawford should leave selfish old Arum and sign with Haymon, before he gets much older.

    Then he could have some meaningful and lucrative fights before he retires.

    Par for the course for him, he loses all of his biggest attractions in a similar manner.

    If Spence beats Pac, as he likely will, Crawford won't get better than 30-70 in a fight against him, if he gets the fight at all.

    Spence hasn't fought Thurman.

    Mikey hasn't fought Thurman, Porter, or Danny.

    Same will happen if Crawford goes to PBC.

    It took FOREVER for Thurman/Danny/Porter to mix it up.

    Canelo moving up and fighting titleholders in his devision ain't taking risk?

    Maybe, who knows, but he hasn't done anything to prove that. If he convincingly beats Porter then there might actually be some basis for calling him the best WW, but Khan and Brook just aren't big enough challenges to establish anything.

    Thurman would have been a good fight if he hadn't wasted some of his best years even worse than Bud has. The current WW division is pissing away its potential even worse than the HWs. There at least there is a genuine will from the two top guys to meet.

    Let me check if I understood right.

    The old man says that nobody is interested in crawford vs porter?

    Ok, boomer. Whatever.

    And I dont want to date margot robbie because she's not pretty enough for me. (same level of truth, more or less...)

    I do think Crawford lacks the natural charisma to be a huge PPV star. There's nothing wrong with that. There's some great boxers that have faced similar problems, e.g. Winky Wright.

    Arum is silly, he is the PROMOTER. Promote.

    Not like Pac promoted himself either, he was just lucky he had a country behind him. But during Arum years, Pac had 0 personality and only repeated rehearsed lines in interviews.

    he’s a lot livelier in interviews now.

    Crawford comes off likeable and has a great style. Watch his confrontation with Spence, he has personality.

    I remember Hearn saying whenever his spoken to Crawford his a funny guy and didn't understand how Arum could say he couldn't promote him.

    That’s what being loyal gets you these days. To me, It was understandable at first. Arum invested in Bud when noone else did, helped him become the lineal at 135, undisputed at 140 and a titlist at 147. But It’s time to move on. He may never get Spence who’ll probably be demanding 99/1 split if he gets past Pacquaio, or might decide to move to 154 if Crawford signs with PBC, but It’s definetly been time to move on for a while.

    Crawford is old now. After his win against gamboa he could have tested himself against some great fighters. But he chose to pick on scrubs and injured opponents. He wasted his prime, now he's out here getting dropped by toilet cleaners from Lithuania. Hopefully virgil ortiz takes him out behind the woodshed and gets rid of him for us.

    You normally call his opponent as toilet cleaner?
    He had been ranked by boxrec as top 8 and had been feeded to fight vs Terence.

    I wish that you had balls to tell this in the face to Bob Arum. :p
    You will never have balls for this.:nonono

    More than this, you never in your life will have balls to tell anything bad to the toilet cleaner in dark backyard without CCTV.

    You normally are bum, idiot and just noise in internet.
