    According to his IG bio, he has retired from boxing.

    Thoughts?

    He's been functionally retired for awhile. Good fighter, hope he enjoys his health.

    That $pence payday followed by the DAZN inflated purses set him up for life!

    good for Mikey
    Sitting out his slave deal,
    & leaving Old Bob Arum was ultimately a $hrewd bidness move.

    Crawford should have done this after the V Postal fight tbh.

    Now he is the perfect opponent for Benn then.

    Had a great career, but still feels like a wasted talent.

    He could've accomplished a lot more had he not "obesed" his way out of his proper weight. There's no reason he ever should've gone above even 135.

    Salute to his retirement though/extremely good boxer

    Eh, alright then, adios hombre.

    Mikey's heart was never really fully in the game anyway. He doesn't even like boxing.

    Kinda wish he and Roberto could have swapped heart/passion for the sport against raw talent. Not that Grandpa was untalented himself in his day but:

    Mikey = A- talent, D+ enthusiasm/spirit
    Roberto = B talent, A enthusiasm/spirit

    Crawford made over $21 million dollars fighting shot guys and cans. Crawford was extremely overpaid for his level of opposition.

    He got $5.5 million for fighting the shell of Amir Khan.

    :lol:

    Sounds about right. He should take fellow Garcia, Danny "Swift", with him to the retirement home.

    Just goes to show, you've gotta love what you do.
