Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Could Fight Granados Next Instead of Felix Diaz

[uppercut510]

He needs to get out of Omaha and stop fighting the losers and fight the winners why not Broner or Pac , ... or a fantastic fight ...winner of Erickson Lubin vs Jorge Cota fighting 4th of March in Bklyn... don't step back step UP!!!

Lubin is a middleweight??????????????

Maybe Diaz is being very greedy but Crawford will need to overpay his opponents as his ability level is far greater than his commercial value at present, similar to the position that Golovkin was in two or three years ago.

Agreed. Of course Crawford wouldn't have tom pick between Granados and Diaz if Bob would make the Manny/Crawford fight.

Not saying Crawford would win, but I think most fans would be more than satisfied if that fight was coming up next. Same promoter and Crawford, as WBO JWW champ, has no issue fighting for the WBO WW title per the rules.

Why a loser of his last fight? Why not the winner, Broner?

Broner vs Crawford the winner takes the winner from Thurman vs Garcia.

Let Pac fight the Khans and Bradley's and the rest of the light hitters.

Most definitely that is the fight that both Crawford and HBO need but it seems that Arum is still more in the Pacquiao business than the Crawford business as he feels there is still some big money yet to be made off Pacquiao and I imagine both Roach and Koncz feel that Pacquiao has a good chance of losing to Crawford. If I was Crawford i'd certainly not be too pleased by it all.

smh at Diaz. You can't call a guy out and then price yourself out at the negotiating table.

If you call out a champion, then be ready to fight at their terms otherwise work your way to a mandatory position.

Felix Diaz asking $375K is pricing himself out? That's equivalent to saying, "I'm cheap, take me."

John Molina got $400K, a fight Crawford's trainer said is tailor-made for Terence.

I'm in Alexandria visiting a friend today and coming in from Reagan tomorrow morning for the GGG fight. Also, what's the status on crawford's opponent. I read somewhere they're going to do the mandatory with Amir Imam?
Dan Rafael, King Fight Freak (1:13 PM)

Imam is out and Arum has finally sent a written first offer to DiBella for Felix Diaz.

Crawford will need to move to 147 if he wants to start seeing lucrative paydays. Broner will never fight him while he is protected by Uncle Al, and Crawford wants to cherry-pick his way through the landmine of the welterweight division where there aren't many soft touches. I can't see him beating Thurman, Spence, Pac, Porter, or Brook. He might beat Danny Garcia, and he might have a chance to beat Bradley, but his options are getting slim.
