I bet they go with the other guy

He's one of Crawford's mando's but

Golden Boy Promotions, Orozco's promoter, has shown little desire in matching him with Crawford. It turned down the shot in December.

Arum has a distinct opinion on which match he wants to make.

"I want to do the fight with Felix Diaz. That's the best fight for us to make," said Arum, who added that some of his closest advisers in the company are against it. "Lou DiBella (Diaz's promoter) calls me every day about it. That's the fight I want to make."

DiBella said he and Arum have talked money and they are not far apart.

"I'm about to call him again today," DiBella told ESPN. "My guy is ready, willing and able to go May 20 and Omaha would be fine with us. I know there are people within Top Rank that like the fight very much and also I know there are people within Top Rank that don't. That's the way it usually is with a really good, competitive fight. I've been in this business a long time and I gave Bob a number that's fair and he didn't balk. I'm going to continue calling him every day until we hopefully close the deal."

Good, Diaz is a good fighter,I'd like to see him and Crawford

[sicko]

I like it! Crawford wins but Diaz will be more than GAME and will get most people respect even in a Losing Effort because that dude WILL COME TO FIGHT despite not having great Power

[Doctor_Tenma]

Crawford should win fairly easy but it's a good fight.

I think they just want to play with our feelings. I'll be surprised if it's actually made.
