      Spence would take Terence, but I highly doubt Crawford would want any part of Spence at this point.

      So there's really nothing for him from the Haymon camp. I don't really mind Vargas as one of his 3 fights a year opponent next year if he decides to move up.
      PBC has all the talent at 147 save Horn and a past it Manny. He'll have to fight PBC fighters if he really wants to be a legend..

        And yet you idiots want him to sign with, who, Haymo For what? To sit on the shelf and fight once a year, get a fight with either Spence or Thurman in 2 or 3 years if he's lucky. Maybe Omar Figueroa now that Guerrero has tired. Oh, let's not forget Berto.

        You guys are facking hilarious.
        After that then what?? rematches and trilogies? where did i ever mention Haymon?

            I don't even get these silly threads. It's as if PBC fighters would just say yes to Crawford right off the bat when Spence himself is having a hard time looking for a dance partner within his own stable.

            So silly.

              Well, why don't you start asking these PBC fighters if they want a shot at Crawford? Start with Swift, then Porter, Berto, etc. I doubt they would want any piece of that high risk low reward stuff.

                  To where? Where do you suggest? Not Haymon, cos you just said that you didn't mention Haymon. So we rule out Haymon.

                  So where else? I mean, I assume you have a logical plan if you think he should leave TOP RANK ASAP.

                  Let's hear this plan that doesn't involve you thinking he should sign with Al Haymon.
                  Just be a free agent and go fight by fight

                    Well, Crawford has fought 2 Haymon fighters, John Molina and Felix Diaz. I have not doubt Arum would be running out of opponents for an active guy like Crawford and start considering Thurman, Porter, Garcia, etc.

                    I'll be LMAO if I see any of these PBC fighters making excuses not to fight Crawford. We'll see.

                    It's easy to say, "Oh Bud should leave Arum, blah blah" and join PBC. Question is would they fight him without pricing themselves out?

He's not getting in there with a PBC guy and PBC has most of the talent at 147. Either Crawford leaves Arum or I anticipate a rough few years for him coming up. Any one know how many fights he owes Arum?
                      Crawford will be able to fight any of those guys without a problem.
