    They both need this fight. Crawford needs a credible opponent so people will care again
    Current Thurman is not credible lol, he is a broken-down fighter coming of surgeries and a loss.

    Get of a name and look at what's standing in the shoes of that name.

      A close loss to a top 5 fighter of all time.

      Thurman is a great win still.

        Thurman is done as a fighter. Multiple injuries, struggling with a gatekeeper, a loss to Pacquiao..having a baby, family life...

        Leave the man alone, he has the new life now.

          It would happen on the PBC but not on Top Rank because the old fart is too cheap. Bob didn't want to give Shawn Porter $1M to fight Terence Crawford.

              Thurman needs at least 2 comeback fights and look sharp in the 2nd one to make him a legit opponent otherwise what's the point

                Porter and Crawford is the fight to make. Crawford will get no credit for beating Thurman but batting Porter gives him a step up in class. Thurman is shot IMO and the haters would downplay a win for Crawford

                  It just seems like however much $$$ Porter is asking for, Thurman is gonna ask for more. He just seems harder to negotiate with.

                    Thurman would fight Crawford.

                    Not sure if biatch ass Crawford would take the fight though.

                    Thurman isn't a washed up or a blown up lightweight.

                      Yes

                      The guy who fought Danny Garcia and manny pacquiao and Shawn porter is scared of the guy who fights nobodies.

                      What was Crawfords last fight?

                      That Lithuanian cab driver?

                      Or was it that latvian lumberjack?

                      That romanian gypsy?

                      Can't keep track of all the bums and washed up fighters Crawford fights.
