I know that’s just extremely wishful thinking, but this is one of the few fights I wouldn’t mind marinating a bit so that it would become even bigger.
I would like a few million dollars and a beachside mansion... but that ain't gonna happen either. No, I know.... that would be ideal. But even if that was the plan, one of the two is bound to trip up on the way to that superstar showdown. In that Wonderland scenario you just painted, it would probably be Crawford.
Marinating makes some sense here, because neither has fought the Porters, Thurmans or Garcias..... and age still isn't a factor for either. Let's hope the promoters don't ruin this potential mega-fight, like they've ruined a few others in the past.
The main reason I want it to marinate is because, although I think both are excellent fighters,
neither of them has superb resumes. I think it could prove them both completely legit and become a Leonard/Duran level of fight. Right now, both are very good but still have a bit left to prove.
But the problem is, if they don’t fight each other , who are they gonna fight to make their resumes better?
Thurman - not gonna happen
Pacquiao - not gonna happen
Brook - flawed now I’m afraid to say.
Anybody else is just padding the record for the sake of it. Doesn’t make them any better or the fight any bigger.
