    Crawford KOing GGG, wouldn't that be something. I'm not sure GGG fans would be able to deal with something like that. The fact that we're even talking about Crawford KOing GGG seems comical. One would think that the two possible outcomes are either Crawford outboxing GGG or GGG catching Crawford with something big. Could a 37 year old Crawford beat a 42 GGG? Could he outbox him? But Crawford KOing him, I don't know, that sounds a little far fatched.

    Fair,
    but if he takes it… there is our answer.

    it does but
    That is the only way public demand would soar to force the Canelo fight.
    Which is why the thought of this fight is even being entertained.

    Ridiculous fight. Mismatch at this stage.

    Crawford is p4p number 1 and Golvokin is about 10 years past his prime.

    I remember Canelo twice losing to a past prime Golvokin and that seems ages ago now.

    Golovkin is ancient in boxing terms. I highly doubt this happens.

    This is a completely unsubstantiated rumor. No point in getting frustrated with Crawford until there's something validating the gossip.

    Yeah we went over this Lance - scroll down a bit
    he will be approached with Saudi Money if this Rumor has any validity- at which point only a fool would not consider it.

    Most rumored or 'potential' fights tend to not materialize.

    Even if we really want them to?
    I’d pay good money for Crawford vs GGG!

    Is Crawford really shameless enough to fight a Kazakh energy drink salesman? I wouldn't be surprised.

    I really hope this fight doesn't happen. I'm a big fan of Crawford, but Golovkin is a legend to me and he is way past his prime, in my opinion this won't be a good look on Crawfords resume.

    I don't think Crawford needs to fight GGG to justify fighting Canelo though. The Crawford Canelo fight sells itself. If Crawford does fight GGG though it has the potential to derail the Canelo fight.

    Why is he trying to drag the corpse of GGG back when he can fight Boo Boo? I know he doesn't have the same name value but if Andrade can safely make 160 then I think that's a much better fight helping Crawford go where he wants to go.
