Thread: Crawford needs to fight ffs

What is he waiting on?

Spence isn’t happening and neither is Canelo.

Fight Boots or the Tim Vs Thurman winner asap!

You’re nearly 37.

Really want him to keep the momentum. Beginning to think he really banked on the Canelo circus happening and little else. I'd settle on a Santillan defense and really like to see him move up for Tszyu. Think that's the whole plan of Tszyu v Thurman.

After Crawford dispatched Spence in 2nd gear I did not want to see the rematch at any weight. It was far too one sided.

Crawford has stalled his career waiting for Spence/Canelo and wasted the momentum.

I remember they days when greats earned their status.

This is entirely the reason why , although Crawford is a great boxer and probably the best around, he will never be in the conversation of ATG’s .
Blame Arum, blame bad decisions, blame whatever you want, but facts are facts and he wasted an opportunity to become an ATG.

Agree with all the comments.

He’s wasted a lot of time and missed the best fights.

He should be fighting x3 times this year.

Let's be honest: There is no one we really want to see Crawford fight that makes sense. He has beaten everyone in the division and virtually is no competition with him with anyone else. He is too small to be a middleweight to fight Canelo or GGG and too big for Tank Davis... there is no where for him to go that we would really want to pay for.

But, despite that: He could beat the breaks off of Boots. Take a Charlo fight and Canelo fight at 160. Also take a Tyzu fight at 154.

So how does of all opponents Chris Eubanks Jr strike the interest meter at 160? Hopefully it was just floated as an alternative to a Tszyu fight. If Tim shines vs Fundora is pay top dollar for a Tim vs Bud match.

i heard recently that bud has used his super champion status to become mandatory to the winner of timmy v sebastian

That would be an amazing fight if Crawford faced Tim next.

If the Eubank fight comes off it can be Bud just clearing two runways for options. Tim makes most sense and more appealing. But Bud could be lobbying at 160 to show he can carry weight, be a live threat to the Cinnamon god Canelo. He’s still hoping. Saw a pic of Bud yesterday he looks massive and cut.

Don't make me want this, bro. (LOL)

You know there's nothing that would please me more in the world of boxing than Canelo getting KTFO'ed. I still think Dmitry should've stepped on the gas and gotten him outta there.

If only we could be sure that Bud would box rings around Canelo and still have the power to hurt him.... I'd buy tickets right now. Then again, if you don't knock out Canelo in Vegas... you've lost.

Never mind.

Bud would get Charlo'ed, Danny Jacob'ed and Armir kahn'ed against Canelo lol

Who ever even had a chance against Canelo coming up from weight to meet him? The Ginge beat almost everybody going up in weight. I get the fantasy though.

Crawford vs. Tszyu next for unified belts would be lovely
I don't like champions being stripped but I really enjoy it when all 4 titles become vacant
The division gets moving again
The top fighters fight each other for the vacant titles
& the other top contenders face off in eliminators

I can watch Eubank Jr and Bud. It's not bad, but worthy of a looksee.

The Ginge is giving me a bullshit vibe these days. Ducking Benavidez and getting his ass beat against Bivol does not cause me to rate Canelo as highly as I did in the past.
