Why is Crawford ignoring Fundora?

[tomhawq]

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.

Crawford ain't fighting any one of the top guys in his current weight class. He'd rather just wait for some huge money offer from Canelo camp that may never come. This has become typical in this sport. Wait, wait, wait, wait, loiter around instead of reaching out to people he's supposed to have some fight deal with. Or take interim fights.

Yeah, I get the feeling Crawford realized he had enough at 154 and wants one last retirement fight, and who has the most money? Why, it's...

I dont know but I dont like it. Rather see Crawford try to become undisputed at 154 than go for the Canelo fight

Let’s not kid ourselves, Fundora is easy work for Crawford.

canelo cash

I agree
Although, I'm sure he can make more fighting Seb than he did vs that nobody he just beat.

Let’s not kid ourselves, Fundora is easy work for Crawford.

It's crazy how a guy with that body type is so easy to hit.

But, yeah

We haven't heard a peep from him about WBO ordering him to fight Fundora.

Wasn't there a NSB article about him enforcing his mandatory status on the Tszyu vs Fundora winner? How come he's ignoring his own petition now?

WBO orders Terence Crawford to face Sebastian Fundora

Isn’t Fundora fighting Spence? Fundora a ****en bum anyway and Bud would beat his ass. Only Canelo fans think everyone named can beat Bud. It’s either that or they say Bud has to beat this guy or that guy to get a fight with Canelo , lmao.

I think Crawford will retire if he doesn`t get Canelo fight.

Fighting all these guys at 154 is too much risk for him.

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.

Everyone thought that's TBud's plan. He enforced his WBO mandatory position and WBO ordered it. He and his fans are supposed to be celebrating.
