Miguel Berchelt for sure.
From the thread title..... "can't"? Or "won't"? With Crawford it seems like the latter, especially now that he's blathering about fighting Conor McGregor.
Interesting to see this post from 2015...

Good prediction at the time, but it's been 5 years since then, and Crawford has maybe a couple of credible opponents since then.
It's like being on a plane with an eternal holding pattern.
I know we like to blame promoters for a fighter's career woes...... but all this McGregor talk honestly just rubs this particular boxing fan the wrong way.
Re: Fighters who can't get "HIGH" profile fights
Couple things
1)I was spot on
2)all the fighters discussed are to blame for any lack of big fights. GGG choosing easier fights OFTEN where I struggle to even remember the opponents names like Steve Rolls(took me a minute), Crawford currently refusing to fight Porter which opens doors to other matches, Andrade pulling out of the Charlo fight
Only one mentioned who didn’t refuse larger fights, deserved larger fights, and was refused larger fights was Berchelt being refused by Loma.

Andrade is to blame with a lot of his career but he was signed to fight Saunders.
