    Crawford is 35 and also at the end of his own career.

    Fought Spence
    Wants Charlo
    Wants Canelo
    Wants Tank


    Whats the problem?

    He wants Charlo coming off a loss and dropping down two weight divisions and wants a rather unproven Tank to move up two weight divisions, that is the problem.

    People say Boots needs to fight someone but they're okay with little 5'5 Tank who has never fought anybody? Why, you're not getting any of the money or anything, it makes no sense to me.

      Who the hell has Boots Ennis fought?

      He’s 26 and beat his first ranked fighter recently.

        People said this about Crawford prior to Spence.
        Resumes don't win fights.

        But he has stopped Lipinets who was top 10 and Villa top 5 and that is enough to be Crawfords mandatory.

          We can not be against Crawford vs Boots because of Boots lack of resume but be okay with him fighting Tank who I don't think has even beaten one top 10 ranked opponent and has never fought at the weight.


          Where is the intrigue? A big elite welterweight vs some unproven lightweight who won't even fight any of the top guys at his weight, no intrigue. Crawford slaps the head off him.

            For the record I do think he's an excellent fighter, a top p4p even.
            But I am not buying these opponents are still close to being at the top of their game when he has fought them.

            There is always something with this guy that stops him from fighting the best fighters at their best.
            He'd probably beat them anyway but its like he has to wait until he is absolutely certain they carry no risk.

            Its also a terrible look for Tank if this fight happens also because of the whole catchweight bs he had for Garcia now suddenly he can fight at Welter. Why drain Garcia then?

                Does anyone here at all think regardless of resumes that Boots isn't at least the second best WW behind Crawford?

                I don't see what the whole resume issue is. He is clearly levels above Lipinets and Villa who are solid fighters, he has made them look like they are terrible.
                People said the same about Rigondeauxs lack of resume going into the Donaire fight. Fury and Klitschko etc etc

                You can't be making out its a resume issue to then go on and fight Tank or even entertain the idea then suddenly change your mind and claim its about the money. Which is it?

                  Honestly still can't tell if you're trolling or not. What you're saying is so absurd, it's hard to believe you're serious

                    He has brain damage or something.
                    Look at him moving in straight lines, everytime he tries moving laterally his balance is all over the place.

                    There is a reason the Doctor stepped in at the end of round 4 before he was really taking a beating. Didn't even check his eyes or anything just asked him if he was okay several times. When you have ever seen that before?
                    They did that because they knew he shouldn't have been cleared to fight.

                    Spence is shot and shouldn't be fighting.

                    To me and I am not exaggerating when I say its on Ali levels of sadness. Its like watching Ali clearly riddled with Parkinsons taking a beating only fans didn't act like he was okay and something wasn't terribly wrong even back then before we had the knowledge we do now.​

                      Feel free to post your quote where you said he’d dominate Errol Spence and make him look like a C level fighter.

                      The point you’re also missing is this fight happened on Spence’s terms. It happened when they wanted it to, not Crawford who was essentially froze out for years.
