But Spence? I think that one can be put to bed. Spence ain't beating Crawford at any weight, and that was made quite evident last Saturday night.

Charlo? Hell, why not? It would be a hell of a match.

But... doesn't anybody want to see a potential matchup at 147 between Crawford and Jaron Ennis? That seems to be the only worth big fish out there, and it would be a shame to be deprived of such a matchup if Crawford up and jumps to 154.

Once at 154, who's he got? Charlo, maybe Tim Tsyzu... and a veritable list of nobodies.

Also, let's not lose track of the fact that Crawford is 35 years old. Yes, he wasted a lot of years where he could've been fighting better opposition... but he made up for it in one fell swoop with his dismantling of Errol Spence Jr.

So his age also plays a factor here.
Carlo is fighting Alvarez and it might be a while before he gets back in the ring afterwards. Tszyu has just won a belt and will be looking to have some kind of run with it. It would be malpractice for his management to put him in with Crawford right now. If Crawford was a huge box office PPV star then maybe they take the huge payday but he isn't. Can't see that fight happening anytime soon. Considering the age of both guys and the limited options the rematch is very tempting for both of them.
