Man he’s all alone at Top Rank At least Spence has fought 2 legit champs in Brook and Porter Crawford got a belt beating the limited Horn who robbed Pac-Man We all know how arum is he keeps his fighters in House giving us Pac-Man vs Bradley 3 times lol Crawford needs to join PBC otherwise his legacy will be Lundy, Gamboa, Postol and Indongo
Hopefully soon. I think he's the best of the bunch, but its not going to matter if he never fights anyone
To get a tough fight you need a tough opponent realistically available at your weight class. And TR literally has none of those for Crawford. And Crawford knew it when resigning with them not so long ago... So, to answer your question: in a couple of years? Never?
For how it looks now, their fight with Spence might never happen at all indeed. Because Errol can outgrow the welterweight faster than Haymon will run out of available PBC opponents for Spence to fight.
Bud should try to get Broner in the ring and be the first to KO him Spence wont fight him for at least 2 years and I suppose Porter wants that rematch with Errol first
Rumor has it that he is just waiting for Benavidez to get shot in the other leg before rematch talks resume. In all seriousness, Crawford may be the best fighter in the division, although I am sticking with Spence by decision. It comes down to Manny and Spence as the two best in the division based on their resumes and Manny has no business attempting to fight Spence at 41 years of age.
I hate the "he can't fight him and him because they are on that or that network or with that or that promotor" in the US. Can't they just make a deal and fight, like grownups?
I think theres a couple of Top Rank fighters, a fight against Besputin would not be easy. He wasn't great against Ray Robinson but Egis Kav ( not gonna try and spell it !) at his best might land a decent shot or two.
I think it's clear that the pbc guys are happy to avoid him and they can get away with it or justify it due to them being able to make legitimate in house fights.He could wait years for this to change in all honesty.I would never recommend someone move to the pbc normally but he's not getting Spence if he doesn't.
Top Rank have attempted to make the Crawford and Spence fight. Seems to me Haymon is doing his usual of keeping the 147 divison in house and has no interest of risking his fighters against the best in divison in Crawford. Similar to what Haymon has been doing with hia hand picked opponents for Wilder.
The title of this should have been: WHEN WILL A TOP BOXER SHOW THE CAJONES TO FIGHT CRAWFORD? When will one of the PBC guys show some guts? Crawford has shown a willingness to fight them, they obviously don't think they can beat him or they would come get his belt.
