    I'm not, I've criticized him about it before... Just because I don't go by your inflated ridiculous notion of what a bum and go full hate mode doesn't mean I haven't critiqued him in the past for fighting opponents like Monroe and Adama...

    Crawford is in his second division and so far not a single good fight, I wonder if you'd be so kind to GGG if he was doing the same thing:lol:

    They both top level fighters, one doesn't get a pass just because he's younger, when you step up to top level you're expected to face good fighters.

    Yep, as long as you're fighting top opposition in a division I'm good.

    If an old dude that has yet to leave his dead division gets a pass...then SURELY a younger guy that has already moved up qualifies for one.

    Nop, firstly I'm not giving GGG a pass when he actually fights a bum and age doesn't come into the equation, I've criticized Loma and Brook for the exact same reasons as Crawford here..

    It didn't even take 1 page for a completely unrelated thread to wind up right back to GGG.

    Anyways, I pin this on Arum moreso than Crawford. With Manny leaving and Bradley running out of mileage, he needs to develop another star and Crawford is an easy choice. I don't think Crawford is the ducking type, but more of the "I'll fight who my promoter puts in front of me, no questions asked" type. Arum just doesn't want him to face Postol for the same reason Garcia's team avoided him like the plague- high risk, zero financial reward.

    It's all politics and money! When there is a guy like Crawford , who is on the brink of s****om, it isn't very wise to put him in with a guy who is 3 inches taller, has the reach advantage and is a mover, such is the case with Postol. Postol is a tough gig for anybody in the 140-147 ranks I believe. What he did to LM impressed me. I would love to see this fight and I think it will happed but Postal needs to get more popular before they risk putting Crawford in there with him.

    postol should be patient, let the interest build up so both end up getting a ****load of money.

    C'mon now, he probably had ZERO say in if he fought Pac or not. That was an Arum special all the way.

    well there is zero excuse for Top Rank, I heard that Crawford contract with top rank is up soon.
