    Crawford needs money.

    There is nothing for him in the US.

    Young Chris about to finally take his place as p4p number 1! What a blessed time to be a boxing fan

    Don't they have the same trainer? Or is Eubank back to training himself again haha

    Another weird fight. Crawford's CV is so odd. He's doesn't half like feasting on have-beens and never was.
    Eubank isn't a bad fighter but he's never really proved he's truly world-class.
    I'd rather Eubank risked a loss to win a world title.

    yeah it's a shame, we saw against Spence that he is by far the best of this generation, but because of politics, he missed out on having Danny Garcia, Thurman and some others on his record which would have made it even stronger, i guess he was gonna fight 154 Charlo for undisputed which would have been great but after he chose Canelo, i guess there isn't actually much out there for him now, Boots Ennis would be a great name but risk vs reward etc...

    Hope it doesn't end up in the same state as Eubank Jr vs GGG...

    Weird fight. Also a risky one for Crawford. Eubank is no joke, what he lacks in technical skill he more than makes up for in terms of athleticism and physicality.

    It feels like a weird one, but especially if it's in the UK, I'm totally up for it.

    Would be an easy full house at the O2 and Eubank is always great value in the build-up.

    I'm just waiting for Mr Self Awareness Conor Benn to come out and say they are only fighting each other because they running scared from him.

    People will **** on it just because it’s Eubank but as one of the recent “freak fights” that have seen match-ups between boxers from different weight classes this stacks up quite well on paper.

    Everyone knew that Canelo and Golovkin would brutalise Khan and Brook respectively. On the other hand, there’s no guarantee that Crawford would carry the power to knockout Eubank and it will be interesting to see how Crawford copes with the physicality of Eubank at 160.

    Crawford is huge too it’s not like there will be much of a difference if any come fight night. I like Eubank I don’t really get the hate for him on here. He has some really solid wins and he is entertaining and interviews really well.

    This is the finest post I've ever read on here. Take a bow, sir.

    Young CHRIS would absolutely steamroll this feather fisted little lightweight if they allow them in together.
