    :lol::lol:.....actually Danny Garcia and Jessie Vargas don't have any fights scheduled. They are the biggest names available @ WW. Or he can try and get a fight with the winner of Ugas vs Figueroa.

    Crawford vs Spence is the best fight in boxing that has no chance of happening. Wilder/Joshua has a better shot.

    That's on Crawford, he didn't have to resign with Top Rank. He could have signed with PBC, or with Haymon speratively and gotten his Spence fight, as well as access to Thurman, Garcia, Porter etc. He chose the easy pay days against lower tier opposition. He knew what he was doing.

    Maybe he was just being loyal. I am no Arum fan but Arum has done alright so far for Crawford. Crawford probably never dreamed he would be making as much money as he is now and saw no need to bite the hand that has fed him.

    He was either stupid in resigning with Arum or he wanted to be isolated from the rest of the elite welters.

    Crawford strikes me as being the kind of dude that will go down with his boys. I believe he feels he owes Arum and being disloyal is something that he won't be. Arum doesn't seem to be one that is holding up the fights. He seems ready to make the Spence fight asap.

    Arum and loyalty? C'mon man, this is Arum. It is clear as day while all the elite welters are fighting each other Crawford does jack with Arum. All this loyalty talk is a joke of an excuse when we see Pac leaving Arum.

    I'm talking about Crawford being loyal to Arum, not vice versa. How long did it take for Pac to leave Arum? I bet you weren't complaining during the time that Pac stayed with Arum. Arum seems willing to let Crawford fight, he is not the one who is holding up the fights. The other welterweights don't seem to be that anxious to get into the ring with Crawford.

    While Pac was with Arum, yall called him many names. And after Pac left Arum, he's now fighting those fights yall said he was ducking.

    And now you're defending Crawford and Arum. The irony!!

    And don't get me started on the robberies Arum's let happen or masterminded against Pac! LOYALTY right?

    AJ losing ****ed that one up. Clearly not the same. If AJ can win a rematch, then it can still happen.

    Pac was loyal to Arum. He re-signed with Arum before leaving after the Jeff Horn robbery. Bradley was loyal to Arum and re-signed with him as well.

    Crawford and Bradley and Pac are all level headed guys. The PBC guys are all about a very specific image—lots of flash through silly jewelry. See the obnoxious chains that Errol wears nowadays?

    Bud's in his third weight class, won 13 title fights, completely unified a division, is a consensus top 5 P4P, multi-million dollar fighter that's been doing it for over a decade.

    I don't believe he's ducking by any measure, but content? That might be a better word for it. He wants Spence, but it doesn't define his career if it doesn't happen. While it would look like he needs PBC's welterweight stable to make good fights, he's already a HOF if he retires tomorrow. In his mind, he can afford to wait.

    Also, Bud jumping to PBC also wouldn't have guaranteed anything. Errol's been there his entire career, and to date, has fought one top 5 welter and has his second fight lined up with Porter. I don't think there's any scenario in which the fight would've come off before 2020 regardless of who he signed with.
