    You know Crawford is also in the tale end of his career.

    Why do Crawford fans always have to speculate what others will think or say to justify him not having to fight the obvious top fighters alongside him? I.E Boots or Vergil Ortiz when he was active

    Tale end of his career then he better get a move on.

      Unfortunately Jermall wasn't ready and PBC chose Jermell for Canelo. Pity they didn't wait until after the Crawford Spence fight.

      Crawfords next fight should be a big one and the obvious fight is Jermell. Who knows maybe he'll bash up Canelo and the Crawford fight becomes a monster. Or he gets KOs and Crawford misses out.

        Benavidez Jr
        Amir Khan
        Shawn Porter
        Kell Brook
        Errol Spence

        Now we are talking about Jermell possibly in a years time after jumping up two weight divisions and having to come back down.

        Jesus Christ who next is he going to look to dig up Kid Gavilan?

          Whose choice is it to move up and then move back down? Are you suggesting Crawford shouldn't fight Charlo at 154 for all the belts if that fight becomes available? Charlo doesn't have to move back down if he doesn't want to. You must be pretty sure that Crawford beats Charlo.

            Canelo’s avoidance of Benavidez is fooking things up. His punk ass should be facing Benavidez in sept and Crawford vs charlo should be lined up next. Now, even if charlo were to beat Canelo, if he comes back down and loses to Crawford, everyone would say he was impacted by the weight. If he loses, they’ll say canelo left him as damaged goods. Canelo’s cowardice behavior is bad for boxing and preventing the best fights from being made.

              Crawford kept resigning with arum. Don't tell that lie.

                Hope Crawford does go to 154 and take out Jermell for his 3rd unified division. Then ride off into sunset by fighting Canelo at catch weight of 164, or full 168.

                  PBC worked with Top Rank before, and will again. They just didn't want to in Crawford's case for obvious reasons. It was bad for business. Haymon knew that Crawford would beat all his guys. "Other side of the street" was a convenient smokescreen. It was a plain duck.

                    I think Charlo needs to do better historical research because Roy Jones was never the same after he moved back down.
