Crawford should just fight Janibek at 160

Yes he should but the establishment will not take the risk of letting some mystery man from Kazakhstan winning and becoming the face of boxing. Alimkhanuly will not sell in USA or UK, the two biggest boxing markets. Bud will have to overrule the estab and dare to be great at 160. It's a very dangerous fight because we know Alimkhanuly is great but we don't know HOW great. Very risky fight for Bud. Gonna be interesting to hear what Bud says about challenging Alimkhanuly. Being a throwback true great, never ducked or dodged, he just may so bring it on. But he could also say, tough luck man, you have to keep waiting for the big money like I did.

Crawford vs Janibek at Memorial Stadium in Nebraska would be a perfect send off fight. Janibek has 2 belts and is ranked #1 at 160 by Ring Magazine. Turki's Magazine. Janibek will ask for less money than Lara or Adames as well.

I'm sure there will be 100 reasons for him to change his mind on that. We'll see what happens. Even if he were to fight those big names that are currently at 154, he'd drag them up to 160 or 168. He has all the leverage against them, he's not the b-side like he was against Canelo and Spence. He spent a whole year putting on weight the right way to get to 168, he's not going to drain down two whole weight classes at 38 to fight guys who bring less to the table than he does.

even if that were true TBud 9-3 Saul eclipses any of manny's wins :rofl: 8 division world champ. KABOOM! That version of Canelo washed like a pair of faded jeans :haha:

“I ain't going down to 154.” - Terence Crawford, right after the fight against Canelo The only two things he ruled out, in his own words, were 175 and 154. He is choosing between dropping to 160, defending at 168, or retirement. I'm sure there will be 100 reasons for him to change his mind on that. We'll see what happens.

Just fight Lara in Omaha, beat him, & retire undefeated.

There's way more chance he goes back to 154 than there is of him being undisputed at 160. “I ain't going down to 154.” - Terence Crawford, right after the fight against Canelo The only two things he ruled out, in his own words, were 175 and 154.

There's no way in hell he goes back to 154. That's just as silly as the people who want him to go to 175. A Canelo rematch is realistic if he wants it. Or some patsy hometown title defense at 168. Other than that, I really don't see how anybody else is a bigger fight than Lara. And you could easily set up Adames vs Janibek in the meantime. You're making this out to be a lot harder than it is. There's way more chance he goes back to 154 than there is of him being undisputed at 160.

Even less likely if that's the case. f he's fighting his normal (just about) once a year there's even less chance he'd take part in some Middleweight tournament vs guys the casual audience have no clue who they are. I can see him attempting to get a belt there but I'd be surprised if he even took the risk vs Janibek, which I would predict would be a much harder fight than Canelo was with much lower reward financially. Crawford's not going to go for it after the payday he's just had. Crawford is going to want huge money at this point. If Turki is funding super fights than he'd probably put that kind of money up for Ortiz-Ennis winner (if they fight) at 154 or a Canelo rematch or something along those lines. Forget Undisputed at 160. Never going to happen. There's no way in hell he goes back to 154. That's just as silly as the people who want him to go to 175.

Who said it has to be in quick succession? You know damn well the WBA, WBC, and WBO wouldn't strip him in a billion years. All they'd have to do is pay step aside money to any potential IBF mando and he could continue his 1 fight per year pace for two more years and retire.

Literally anything. He's not having two fights in quick succession in a middleweight tournament nobody cares about that's for certain. If I had to guess he'll probably attempt to pick up a belt at 160 like he did at 154 then he'll probably look to have one more big money fight the following year and retire, if he doesn't just retire before that. If a Canelo rematch is presented he'll more than likely take that. Who said it has to be in quick succession?

All they'd have to do is pay step aside money to any potential IBF mando and he could continue his 1 fight per year pace for two more years and retire.

Again, what else is out there for him if not two fights against middleweight titlists? Who is going to make him a significantly higher amount of money than, say, Lara and then Janibek? We know he's not going to 175. 168 is full of young bucks with no name value like Mbilli, Iglesias, Martinez. He can't make 154. So who are these fights going to be against? Canelo rematch? Eubank? Dig up one of the Charlos? Plant? Old man GGG? Literally anything. He's not having two fights in quick succession in a middleweight tournament nobody cares about that's for certain.

That version of Canelo washed to shit. :rofl:even if that were true TBud 9-3 Saul eclipses any of manny's wins :rofl:

lol as if manny would risk fighting Saul. Something Floyd actually did poor manny boy speaking in hypotheticals That version of Canelo washed to shit. :rofl:

But I see TBud is following in Pacquiao step by beating a washed Canelo :rofl:lol as if manny would risk fighting Saul. Something Floyd actually did poor manny boy speaking in hypotheticals

Yeah because it's just a bit tiresome, you're getting a hard on over the fantasy idea of Crawford being undisputed in another weight class. Not sure if you live vicariously through these things, it's a bit weird to be honest, but I'm just trying to let you down slowly from now because it's not going to happen. He fights once a year if that. He's probably got two fights left max and it ain't going to be doing a Middleweight tournament that no one cares about.

Fantastic argument there. I think if he gets one belt it's just as likely he gets the rest. Adames and Janibek have been circling each other for years anyway. Get Turki's money behind that fight, put it on a Crawford vs Lara undercard, then winner vs winner, then retirement.
