Unreasonable to expect long term out of crawford he’s getting up there in age if he fights ennis it has to be in the next couple of years max

I suspect Crawford will find a cash out fight soon against the best paying opponent. He’s getting close to 40 in the next couple of years. Having said that, the Saudis seem to be able to bankroll any fight they want to see (that can help them improve their global image of traditionally being a Sunni terror supporter) so maybe it will happen. Im going against the grain here though, if he Saudis ever decide to leave boxing alone now that they have accommodated the “if the money is right” mindset, what happens then to boxing now that fighters can be overpaid in a way that would bankrupt the promotions and networks?

This would require boots to move to 154 soon, which isn't going to happen

After watching what Eddie did with Andrade's career...I'm skeptical

There are many more he has done the same thing promising and never delivered

I keep playing this scenario out in my head and unless I'm missing something... there's no exit ramp.

I'm trying not to panic but Oldskoolg's post is spot on, it needs to be repeated and taken seriously! If you're not afraid, you should be!

Keep dreaming Eddie, Crawford doesn't fight anyone who presents a challenge.

Ennis should just focus on his own career at this point unless all this talk about Crawford is just a moral booster,Crawford is just doing his thing and no matter what anyone says,hes doing it in a cute way,hes gonna fight at 154 now and the fight make more sense that fighting Ennis and left for me,Ennis if they ever get the fight with Crawford would realize once the bell rings that hes got and has bitten more than he can chew,Crawford wins all day,talking of a cold calculating wrecking machine,that is what Crawford is,nothing faces him,he sees you and he just execute whatever game plan to give you a good hide.
