    Well those are the 2 money fights for Crawford at TR. Otherwise its slim pickings.

    You seem to be purposely ignoring the landscape. Why should Crawford stay and fight Horn level guys when fights with Haymon WW would bring more because they are the best in the division?

    I just want to see the best fights get made.
    I too wamt to see the best fight the best.
    Im not ignoring the landscape. I'm just saying it would be ridiculous for Bud to leave a promoter whose given him good matches and good paydays for a possibility. Again it isn't as if pbc fighters are active and constantly fighting the best. I like that at the very least with TR Bud's been active. I'd hate to see him go the way of Adonis Stevenson.

      Meaningless fanboy ranting. TR has never given Bud a good opponent. Good matches=zero chance. Good for Bud, horrible for fans.

      Active?!? Ten months between fights? To fight Indongo and Horn?!?!

      BUD IS DUCKING EVERYONE GOOD AND USING TR AS AN EXCUSE. TIME TO MAN UP AND FIGHT THE BEST.

        If you think Bud isn't a P4P great fighter, and the list of fighters he has fought is meaningless, you're an idiot or a troll. Either way I don't engage with your kind.
        Good day.

          We agree. I'm not suggesting he leave for a possibility. I'm saying he likely has to consider it since TR's roster at 147/154 is so thin and the biggest fights are with haymon guys.

          That is an old complaint that holds no value now given the schedule PBC has announced.

          WHy assume it would be like Adonis , who is 38, and not Spence or Mikey who are closer to his age?

            And where is he going to go? PBC?
            Aren't you clowns sick of part-time boxing?
            He will be put on the shelves just like the others.
            Terence has been fighting 3x a year at TR.
            You want him to become like Thurman, Garcia, Spence, etc.,
            who fought only once last year?

              Are we really worthy of hearing the great Youtuber?

                Who can Crawford fight at welterweight under Top Rank? Crawford is no star and with Top Rank... why do people act like he will be fighting Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Errol Spence, etc...? Hell we can't get the PBC guys to all fight eachother atm. Crawford has no decent fights available at welterweight imo as long as he is with Arum. Stadiums and all sorts of things will be brought up if Spence tries to negotiate a fight with Crawford under Top Rank .

                  Good day.
                  So beating Postol and Indongo make one a p4p fighter?
                  What about Indongo? Is Prograis a p4p fighter?

                  You can't answer the question and resort to name-calling like an 8 year old.

                  If you think Crawfords record makes him p4p then you are an idiot. And don't forget, he was 160 beating on 140 pounders. How is he p4p when he has never even fought anyone his own size???

                  WAR PROGRAIS! #1 P4P.

                  Can't argue with that.

                    Crawford has done well with top rank.
                    He's been active, gotten good paychecks and important fights that made him number 1 p4p.
                    What else does he want?
                    Going with Al won't guarantee anything. Just look at how lo g his fighters sit out.
                    Crawford has fought 5 times the past two years and is on a 9 month layoff

                    Spence has fought 4 times the past 2 years and will be on his 5th fight in June. His longest layoff was 8 months


                    Danny Garcia has fought 4 times the past 2 years. His longest layoff was 11 months

                    Porter has fought 3 times the past 2 years and he's on a self imposed layoff waiting on Thurman

                    Mikey Garcia has fought 4 times the past 2 years since leaving Top Rank. His longest layoff was 8 months

                    Keith Thurman is Keith Thurman. His issue is he fights when he wants to fight.

                      He should fight someone with a pulse. That rookie prograis just equalled his best win.
