Comments Thread For: Gabe Rosado Believes Terence Crawford Should Fight Jaron Ennis

[Oracle01]

I don't see all of these fights suggested for Crawford's next fight would be happening anytime soon. He's only interested in Jermell Charlo. Even that takes time to make as Charlo would take his time coming back for as long as he want. Not to mention the long arduous process of negotiating such fight. There's Tzsyu, Canelo, who else? He can mention Canelo's name all he wants for PR purposes, but I don't see Crawford making pro-active move to make it happen. I doubt he'll take on Tzsyu.

Crawford literally said he is no longer interested in the Charlo fight since he lost his belts and got dominated by Canelo. He was never a big draw anyway. Crawford is in a tough spot, he wants big name money fights but there are really none available to him other than the Canelo circus fight. This spence rematch is a joke, it can't just be stalled indefinitely, I have never seen that before. Usually a rematch has to have a set date or its off.

I think Crawford should fight Boots but he clearly does not like the risk v reward ratio. If he fights a nobody at 154 or 147 next, thats a duck.

Ennis is too timid to do such things. He'd rather just wait around and be handed a fight on a silver platter. He still young doe.

Boots already called Crawford out when Crawford was on a radio show.

Exactly before the 2 fight deal he was able to grab a fight on Black Prime vs David or ENNIS (for the trolls who play like they didn't call his dad about the fight)., Now he has to play eye injury with Spence and Haymon and get shelved. And if he took a between fight it is obvious it is going to be on Amazon Prime and opponent approved by HAYMON (for the trolls like Haymon is going to let him pick any opponent he wants in-between Spence fights)!

BTW eye injury is a delay tactic. He didn't have retina surgery and he has cataract surgery which requires only sunshades, not a captain hook eye patch.

Exactly!!! Just read that earliest is 1-3 days, with the typical being a week. Longest is 3 weeks. Errl need to quit with the bulls.hit

Agree that there are bigger legacy and money fights moving up, but if he stays at WW, Crawford has no excuse to fight anyone else but Ennis. A win over a top-rated young lion and heir apparent is also a big legacy win. Ennis and his team have themselves to blame though. As talented as he is, his complete lack of personality kills his star power.

And as far as “what does Ennis bring” - Beating Boots would make Crawford a 2x undisputed welterweight champion, something never done in the four belt era. And if he had done that last year, FOTY would have been a lock across the board.

He's too high risk low reward for the top dogs that's why no big fights have happened yet and probably won't ennis is being swerved like prime ggg

Bud rules
Boots don’t want that smoke
Seems like Errol is trying to age him out some more , making the rematch out of reach
And not a word from Boots , crickets as usual when Bud ain’t got a fight lined up
Why ain’t he screaming for Bud now that it’s out there that obviously Spence ain’t ready to fight ?

[brettWall]

Ball is in Crawford's court whatever he wants to do next. He knows the rematch is already invalidated by this time, thus he can take any fight if he wants to, but it's obvious he's not excited to go back in the ring. He can pretend all he wants about a now considered "fake" rematch, but he can't make it as an excuse not to take other fights.

Spence also needs to be pressured in declaring the rematch to be no longer in play, do some self-analysis, then come back for a tuneup when he's really ready. He can't go to war without proper ammunition, especially when you lost the first battle. He can't go on acting as if the rematch can happen anytime he wish. It would set a precedent.

Spence also needs to be pressured in declaring the rematch to be no longer in play...

That needs to happen ASAP first and foremost.

[Robi13]

I second that notion, however, that fight isn’t big enough for it to happen right now, and even after bud faces Spence in the rematch, it still doesn’t demand the money bud will want to take that fight and I don’t blame him. By the time boots is a big enough draw, I think it may be too late. If Bud takes that fight, before he retires… I will give him massive props regardless of the outcome.

I don't have any idea if Crawford is fully embraced by PBC, which is the only platform that can make any fight for him involving PBC fighters. PBC also still has the rights for the 2 remaining Canelo fights deal. I think PBC would rather give them to their existing fighters like Benavidez and Jermall.

The Tzsyu fight is the only one Crawford can negotiate on his own (without PBC). Unless BLK is lurking around and ready to pounce.
