Crawford Leaving Top Rank!!!

[BoxingIsGreat]

Arum doesn't want Crawford to stay at all. He's dismissive of him, and fair enough. Arum's energy is saying good riddance. I can respect that. Arum doesn't know how to promote elite African American boxers.

Forget about Spence, how about a Crawford-Davis on Showtime? Gervonta, after sparring Porter, likes his chances at 147. Davis-Crawford would be two of the best African American fighters in all boxing. Davis would be a PBC's lure for Crawford at PBC, not Spence.

Elite vs Elite.

Let's have Davis-Crawford at 147. No belts. Please.

Well OK, but this is bad news for you and Errol Spence jr. , my boy.

Why is it bad news for us?

Does PBC know how to promote “elite” African American fighters? Because Crawford was fighting more often then any other “elite” African American fighter on the PBC roster.

as much as I hate Arum, I will say that he has saved Crawfor'd's career. I said this years ago on another site. Crawford has been in as much controvery away from the ring as Broner, but he's not foolishly promoting himself as much on social media. That's why his problems fly under the radar. Getting shot after dice game, breaking up fight of his sister at local store that was caught on camera, fight with mechanic... These things may not be major, but a lot of people don't know about it because Bob Arum has a way of masking these things. HOw many Top Rank fighters are seen as trouble makers even when they are in trouble. That ESPN machine works.. Bob has done a horrible job at making him a superstar, but he's protected him well with the ESPN network.. I'll give him that much credit. The truth is, Broner and Crawford are probably similar outside of the ring, but one just broadcasts his exploits(Broner

I leaning towards Bud too but I am rolling with the Yardies here. Will be rooting for them and I'll bet you that ESJ will win. I definitely know what time it is. Black, Green, and Gold time!

Crawford won't sign with PBC. Why would he? Pacquiao retired, Porter retired, Thurman doesn't fight.

For Spence and Ugas? Nah. Did Spence and Ugas sign with Top Rank to fight Crawford? Nope.

Crawford will do the Canelo thing. See who offers him what on a fight by fight basis.

This is what he should do. Great post. If Spence continues to give more bs excuses to not fight Bud maybe his fanboys will understand he really is a duck

I respect your honesty my boy. Errol's punch is a concern, namely his attack to the body ; I worry that he could break 'Bud' down by the championship rounds. But back to the banter
