They saying Herrera/Posto/Provo turned him down. probably Benavidez too... and I don't know if his fat ass can even make 140.
grajeda would've been a better one, but probably aiming for Postol
It looks like Benavidez as an option is off the table.
Benavidez Sr tells us that his son David has signed with Sampson Boxing and Al Haymon. 718-508-9852 / https://t.co/uTG8R39TvL #boxing— Raging Babe (@RagingBabe) December 30, 2015
It seems like it's a go that we're gonna get Crawford vs. Lundy. I know the boxing triangle logic doesn't work, but Lundy has already lost to Molina Jr., Beltran, Postol, Dulorme, and Herrera. Seems like a pretty gross mismatch. TR trying to make Crawford look like a beast so they can make Crawford vs. Postol a PPV in the winter.
The PPV they're building him up to is Pac

I hope it's somebody decent. Lundy is not good enough.
Crawford was supposedly in the running for Manny in April, he is ready for bigger things then a fight with Lundy.
Not a good start to the year, all these match-ups we're hearing of. I'm just not drinking that Crawford kool-aid yet. His recent run of fights has been pathetic, and we've got fans proclaiming him the next star when he hasn't proven himself worthy of that kind of hype. At all. PBC is already putting on garbage mismatch after garbage mismatch. If HBO is headed that route too there will be little reason to be a boxing fan.
i can't green you man, that sig :rofl:
That one's for Flatline
HBO is trash lol kovalev-pascal 2,pacquiao-Bradley 3,crawford-Lundy,Canelo-Monroe/rosado what a joke
2 pointless rematches and 2 mismatches I'm sure Golovkin will fight tureano Johnson as well smh
The era of Peter Nelson looks very meh so far. All we have to praise him for are probable match ups that haven't happened yet in GGG/Canelo and Ward/Kovalev... and neither are certain to happen this year

Yea, he was also on the GGG/Lemieux undercard. He's an alright looking prospect, nowhere near ready

Nobody is really calling out Crawford like that, that is no easy match up that dude because of his versitility is going to be a difficult match up for anybody at 140
Then you have Arum wanting to keep everything in house, I think his stay at 140 will be short and soon you will look up and see him fighting Jesse Vargas at 147 or somebody like that
did arum get sued by roc nation's owner at some point and now he's mad at them and won't even let his fighters take career high paydays because of his own personal beefs?
They signed Cotto away and Arum made disparaging remarks~
More like Bob doesn't like the new guys on the block and certainly doesn't want to help them get ahead in the boxing world. Just standard Arum operating procedure.
Hooker's with Roc Nation. Signed with them maybe a month ago. I don't think he's ever fought on a PBC card.
And ugh, Lundy. Crawford has just been chugging along in whatever fights since the Gamboa bout in my eyes.
Yea, he was also on the GGG/Lemieux undercard. He's an alright looking prospect, nowhere near ready
It's going to be Hank Lundy. I think that's such a mismatch, TR is in desperation mode for finding opponents for Crawford & Lomachenko.
Filed story to @USATODAYsports with details on Crawford-Lundy. Will post the link when it's up.— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) January 4, 2016

Would Arum work with them if they did? Nope~

Lots of great opposition for him at 140...I'm gonna' be disappointed if he fights another guy-I've-never-heard-of or somebody that took a beating on Showbox The New Generation from some prospect.
If he's not gonna fight Postol, fight Prov or Granados or Matthysse or Herrera or some-fkn-body that your average fan knows presents a challenge.
I'm hoping for Crawford replace JMM as my favorite active boxer.
If Lundy had the pop to match his fierce gaze then he would be a pretty good fighter. Shame he can't really punch though, and Crawford will beat him bad.
What sucks for Top Rank guys is that they are limited by the big political divide but also by other divides on that side of the street (like hard to see Arum working with Roc Nation).
roc nation has no fighters that are relevant so who cares?
crawford needs to leave top rank. they did this to floyd as well. they tried to make him fight bums like margarito but he was like NO! i want the big fish! give me sharmba, give me judah coming off a loss, give me baldomir the great journeyman
Lundy? Is this some kind of joke? You got a fighter that has already won the BWAA Fighter of the Year award and he's being fed Lundy. His team is failing him.
Just a name I saw pop up, but i'm meh with it.
