Let's skip the beat and let's not pretend that Crawford's next fight wasn't gonna be Josesito Lopez all along. All those names being thrown around are just the usual mumbo jumbos of Bob Arum.
They can get this kid cheap right now, he brings Mexican fans far more than Josesito Lopez and the hardcore fans really love him. Josesito is perceived as a mediocre by both hardcores and casual's eyes, why then choose this fight when there's a better option like Vergil Ortiz in the same relatively cheap price? Josesito didn't even challenge him like Vergil Ortiz did, there's absolutely no backstory for a Josesito fight.
