    I'd be happy with Crawford/ Porter.
    Sounds like Espn would be too. But ultimately it's just a measuring stick to gauge Spence v Crawford. Cut to the chase
    The problem is that spence is going to need a comeback fight first to make sure he is fine after his accident
    Also Spence/ Porter was close enough to arguably go either way. Porter against Crawford is a quality fight, and who knows if Spence will return the same?
    I dunno think mostly it was seen as a tough close fight but Spence pulling it out for a great learning experience. Porter raised his stakes and hey if Porter v Crawford opens new avenues to Arum and Haymon bigger future I'm all for it. Like to see him jump ship, PBC seems to keep two tiers of top names. Those with a guided future and warmer names for big opponent roles. Kind of feels like where Danny Garcia is at.

    crawford is brutal when he has a guy hurt. crawford took a lot of punches. kaval was better than i thought
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    The draw against Robinson kind of messed up people’s perception of mean machine. He looked pretty dominant some fights earlier. It was supposed to be a live dog opponent for Crawford and he showed that he was.

    Good fight. Some pretty big holes in patches there others could exploit to make Crawford pay.

    Was it a case of Crawford underestimating Kavaliauskas? Maybe not as motivated as he would be against Spence or Porter.

    It was a case of everyone (most) underrating Kavaliauskas. Boxing fans/pundits/media are the most arrogant in the world, continually overlooking guys they don't know anything about. There was enough substance in his career to expect a solid challenger.

    Without doubt Crawford would have been sharper against a marquee name though.

    I think there was a bit of looking at him as just a formality and that's on the promotion too who didn't even see fit to respectfully..literally.. promote him by name. But I also think it was more about frankly Crawford fighting a not so smart fight and giving Kavaliauskas every opportunity in the book. Look he's strong and has solid inside timing but as the axiom goes you're only as good as your last performance and let's not kid ourselves and think that's not applicable for Kava who showed some holes last out. Crawford sat in front squared up and played to a raucous NY crowd and was seriously loading up after the 4th and fought with his arse on his shoulders for the beat down. Kavaliauskas did himself proud and will spring board off of putting Bud on his arse regardless of what the ref said. Crawford had better climb back in the front seat stop sticking his tongue out and get back to that switch hitter sharp shooting when he contemplates Spence or Porter or anyone in between.

    Porter gives everyone trouble because of his style. So if that fight happens, I’m expecting Crawford to fight very disciplined. I think he would want to prove that he can beat Porter clearly.
