I will be highly surprised if Crawford fights Madrimov

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Crawford completely outclasses Madrimov. The OP is trolling again. It’s crazy how many bites he gets. Fair play to ya Jake.

I could see the fight not happening due to money demands, but if the fight is being subsidized or the fighters aren't asking for outrageous paydays I see it as a good fight and one Crawford should win.

Madrimov's style is too sloppy in my eyes to give a high IQ sharp shooter like Crawford enough issues to beat him.

Madrimov doesn't have any profile. Bud beats him clear as day if he does though.

Translation: he isn't an English-speaking American with a social media presence and US media hype.

Madrimov is an excellent boxer, I am far more interested to see his next fight than semi-retired hypejob Spence, for example.

A bit of a little tank but an eye-level fight for Crawford just like Tim, not one of the 6+ footers at 154. A better version of Kaval but very beatable. From what it appears the Saudis will be funding Crawford's road at Glory at 154. Good investment. And the Saudis have the money to make belts want to unify and pretend PBC doesn't exist. We shall see.

Sure. Spence is garbage at this point.

I think not. Crawford will be undersized at 154.

I don't think so, crawford has built his body up quite well for 147lbs and hes doing the same for 154lbs.

I believe Crawford is at the stage of his career now 'Where he is not trying to maintain his recent level of performances'. Crawford for many years has defended his world titles and fought contenders within those weight divisions.

Crawford I think should now potentially attempt to transcended the level of his performances and the perceived difficultly.

Note: This is why Terrence Crawford is targeting the Canelo Alvarez fight 'If Crawford was to lose that fight, well? Then he would lose while chasing greatness. I sense that Crawford is wanting that type of challenge put in front of him' etc.

Go out with a **** are you saying? Yes, i think might as well. THe next fights should be to shut people up.

I disagree. All threads seem to come back to Canelo just like all boxers anywhere near his weight come back to Canelo. It's a money fight.

Crawford hasn't been very active for a while. I never really followed him due to that. But he finally, finally, fought Spence and won and wants to roll that into Canelo payday.

Easy to figure out. But if want to believe it's a principle of chasing greatness, okay.

What are his other choices?
