Why is Crawford ignoring Fundora?

Doesn't matter. Crawford is avoiding his own petition. He asked for this fight, he got it. WBO ordered it. It's an easy fight according to many.

Own what…!!!???

And Bud wasn’t looking to fight Fundora. He only wants to fight Canelo. The WBO ordered that fight.

Crawford enjoys roaming around all over the place more than being in the ring now. He's loving the idea of fighting once a year. Five years fighting only once every year, it's hard to break that cycle. To him he has done it all and don't have to fight anybody.

BUT some fans are incessant asking him about Boots. And so he has to come up with something, anything to drive them away. The first replies he made was the Spence rematch even when it became clear it's not going to happen. Everyone remembers this.

The Canelo fight never crossed his mind at first. Joe Rogan was the first to ask him about Canelo and Bud had a lump in his throat answering the question.

Then later he found out that some fans actually want to see him dismantle the Mexican, do the same thing he did with Spence. And so he realized, "That's it! Perfect excuse to stop these people from asking me about Ennis." But he knew it's not going to happen anytime soon. He probably believes it's just a fantasy because there's just tons of things to consider like weight, money demands, politics, etc.

So then he had to bide time and had to come up with something temporary like the Tszyu vs Fundora winner, which he had no intention of fighting either as already proven by ignoring the WBO order.

You pretty much summed up Bud's crafty manipulation of the media and the fans. It's not rocket science. Easy to spot something that ain't right.

In layman's terms why can't he take a stay busy fight while waiting, instead of loitering around having arguments with Teo Lopez, youtubers, etc.

Just saying TBud Crawford asked for this fight just months ago, not years. WBO ordered the fight, he got it and now he's ignoring it. Why is this not an appropriate stay-active fight if it's an easy one, according to his fans? Why choose to stay dormant when the Canelo fight is not even on the bag yet?
