I will be highly surprised if Crawford fights Madrimov

[OnePunch]

It's not big money fight too. Might as well fight Ennis

ennis doesnt want that heat................

[Mammoth]

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.

Is that untrue or something? Madrimov gets the dog**** beat out of him by Bud.

Okay, then let's see it, rather than another 9 months of inactivity and Twitter beef.

[Oracle01]

He looks pretty basic and very hittable to me. I thought Bud was supposed to be special? he has 5 inches of reach on him and he might lose to an 11 fight opponent? lol.

Same could be said about your face first hero. If the choice is between another 9 months of inactivity or a Crawford - Madrimov fight I'll take the latter, because I like boxing.

Crawford is in the twilight of his career. He needs to make as much money as possible to give his family generational wealth so his kids and grandkids and perhaps even beyond are taken care of.

Madrimov is low reward for high risk.

David actually puts his hands up. Get some glasses. So you are happy to take any scraps Crawford gives you? Thats a true fan boy. You really think this rookie is the best opponent Bud could find in almost 1 year and 3 divisions to choose from? lul.

Madrimov is TBRB #3. It's got nothing to do with Crawford, I just want to see non-US boxers get some opportunities rather than these lame recycled hasbeens like Thurman and Spence.

If we can get Fundora - Madrimov or Madrimov - Tszyu instead, that's fine with me. It's the best fighting the best in a division.

Ok, but Crawford doesn`t have better options, does he?

It's really not a high risk fight. Crawford has a massive reach advantage and he's faced a far, far higher level of competition.

Madrimov has 10 total wins, Crawford has 14 wins against TBRB/Ring Magazine top 10 ranked opponents and 10 wins against fighters that won at least one major world title in their careers.

Madrimov has a smaller reach than anyone Crawford has fought since he was at 140 in 2017, and Crawford fought several dudes at 135 who had a longer reach than Madrimov.
