    Crawford should prove himself vs Fundora, Hurd or Lara, then call out Charlo

    Crawford wants to skip any tough top 3 fighters at 154. He should prove himself by beating a top 3 fighter and then call out Charlo. He hasn’t even beaten a top 3 welterweight, and is calling out Jermell Charlo, trying to cherrypick.

    Canelo called out Mayweather and Mayweather ignored him until he fought Ring #3 Trout and Ring #4 Rhodes.

    Before Canelo got the Cotto fight for the 160 Ring championship, he had paid his dues by fighting Mayweather, Lara, Trout, and Rhodes.

    Before going up to 168 to challenge Ring champ Callum Smith, Canelo once again proved his worth by taking on very challenging opponents GGG 2x at 160, Jacobs at 160, and Kovalev at 175lbs.

    Canelo didn’t try to bypass and duck difficult opponents en route to his title shots barring Matthew Hatton for the WBC which he immediately made up for by fighting Mayweather, Lara and Trout.

    Crawford’s best wins at 147 other than Porter, seem to be fantasy wins that his nut huggers award him in their own little fantasy land.

    Crawford stops Fundora and Hurd easy. Bike rider Lara is the only one that would make it a little interesting as Crawford usually gets counted when he is the aggressor.

        You guys think Crawford will grow balls and fight Jarron Ennis? Crawford does not seem too interested in fighting good fighters in their prime.

        He should fight Ortiz Jr, and Ennis if he succeeds at beating damaged goods, cherrypicked Spence who wants to retire soon. Then fight Lara, Hurd and Charlo.

        Canelo at 154-160 fought the best of those weight classes. Since Crawford is now ranked 3 spots over Canelo, he should prove he belongs there by going through a similarly tough resume. Mayweather, Trout, Lara, GGG 2x, Cotto and Jacobs. That is who Canelo had to fight to pay his dues from 154 to 160.

        Seems like Crawford had been awarded a top spot in the P4P ranks for doing much less than that and fighting much less difficult fighters than Canelo had to do to crack the top 5 P4P list. It’s as if The Ring is rewarding Crawford with a pity prize.

          “Jeff Horn beat Pacquiao. I beat the man who beat the man. I don’t need Spence.” - Crawford on fighting Spence pre-car accident.

            Undisputed vs undisputed. No need for these other fights. He calls his WBO. Charlo either fights or is instructed by Haymon to vacate.

              Terence “TBE” Crawford would destroy all of them in less than 6 rounds.
