You are high as f.uck if you think Crawford has a better resume then Garcia. Garcia fighting Lamont trumps Crawfords entire resume.
You may have missed the part where I said given the situation. Crawford's resume wasn't great in 2015 but his 2014 resume was pretty solid. Burns (135 champ), Gamboa (strong 126/130 fighter and 135 interim champ) and Beltran (top 5 contender at 135 and drew against Burns earlier in 2014) are 3 guys he fought that were top 5 in his division.
Peterson was a great opponent but Garcia should have honestly should have lost that fight. And even if we weren't counting that controversial decision, the guys he fought before and after Peterson are an absolute embarrassment given how deep Haymon's 140/147 stable is. Garcia, as the 140 champ, in 2014 literally fought a guy in Salka who was ranked MUCH lower at 135 (he was ranked like in the 70s) than the guys Crawford fought from the same division that year (all of whom were within the top 5-7).
postol is the best option but its obvious hbo wont put up the money for both fighters. id say most realistic option for an ok fight would be provo who they can low ball
Good thing I never said Crawford's resume was "amazing". I just said it was better than Garcia's given their situation the past 2 years. My original point was that Garcia, since 2014, has portrayed the image that he doesn't want to face high level opposition (as shown by his bad resume given the available fighters in PBC stable), meaning I don't expect that trend to change for someone like Crawford.

Alright fine 2014 since you want to pick and choose the year. What has Crawford done since 2014 that amazes you so much?? Likely fighting Provo next lol

I think its a great even fight don't you agree?
I have it 60/40 in favor of Crawford. Danny always finds a way to win but i can see Crawford walking him down like Peterson did.
That said it's a pretty even fight, pity we wont own see it due to network issues.
Provodnikov, Herrera, Verdejo are not going to fight Crawford the same reason as Crawford doesn't want Postol.
Postol and Crawford deserve each other. Stop looking for other fights for these guys.

If Crawford fought Garcia. Who do you think wins?
Not at all. That's the start date of his current representation to the public.

Of course he would Crawford is the hype job.
There's been plenty of other fighters he could have fought that he hasn't yet. I don't believe he would be more inclined to fight Crawford.
Of course Postol but since some of you are OK with HBO running things, clearly it won't be Postol next and I damn sure don't expect Crawford to just ruin his current situation with HBO to fight Postol off of HBO just to try and prove some type of "point".
Who do you want Crawford to fight next?
Pacquiao would eat him up.
So no, no point in that.
The only names he should fight next are Postol or Vargas, that's it. NO ifs, buts, or maybes.
Doesn't matter as long as Steve Wise is the ref
