    You also said Thurman has a better resume than Spence and that he was the top ww. why didn't you mention Thurman, who wasn't hurt when Manny turned down Crawford.
    He does but he's not fighting at the moment. Why have I got to keep spelling out the obvious to you. And nothings race based you clown, what do u want me to say 'oh yeah Crawford's cv is stacked and I'm all for him.fighting horn, benavidez and mean machine whilst chasing a 40 year old pacman'

      Just make sure to criticize loma as you have Crawford and we have no issue. Loma should be pressing Arum to make the Mikey fight-nothing else is acceptable. When you do this consistently, then I will stop posting you have a race based agenda.

      As for what I want you to do-just stop using Crawford to get back at posters for criticizing GGG and Loma and trying to force things into your "black fighters don't get criticized as much as eastern euros and Russian do" bogus fake outrage agenda.

        Tell those boys to stop ducking the BOSS of 147.
        Crawford ducked the lot of them when he resigned with Top Rank to fight on some ****ty ESPN app. Spence will knock the hype job that got put on ***** street by inactive and blown up Gamboa spark the **** out. I wouldn't be surprised if any of the guys you listed beat the dog **** resume hype job. He has a China chin and that's probably why uncle Bob needs to "marinate" any credible world class opposition for him.

          After that, I have no issue with him fighting Spence or Thurman but I read what Bob said about the Spence/Crawford fight -that he will not make it unless its a 500k selling PPV. I don't understand how you can read that and blame Crawford.

          What do you want him to do sue Arum and try to get out of his deal? Great then you and others would be criticizing that move like you have Floyd and Mikey.

          Whome should he fight next?
          If Crawford wasn't black you would be against a cherry pick of old Pacquiao. Crawford knew Bob Arum is a 95% in house fights only douchebag when he signed and resigned. Crawford's signature on fight contracts aren't forced though so he has the final say. Floyd didn't get to use the old promotion or network excuse so why does Crawford get a pass? Top Rank fighters stay getting a pass on ducking the best competition.

          And I'm a Floyd fan from day 1 jackass... check my post history. His leaving Arum was the best thing he ever did. Oscar and Mikey were right to leave the old scumbag too. Crawford should shut his mouth about being the top welterweight if his promoter isn't really interested in making the fights to prove whether or not he is the top welterweight. Errol Spence needs a fight atm... why not fight him next? You would rather a cherry picked old Pacquiao though... smh. Hell Amir Khan would be a step up for Crawford.

            Crawford got cheated out of the Manny fight already. He earned the fight by cleaning out JWW. The WBO allows a champion to go up in weight and fight for the title. They share the same promoter. it's a joke that fight went to Horn. Crawford deserved to win that title in a big PPV fight and move his career forward.

            If you want to criticize Crawford for re-signing with TR, that is a different issue all together. I understand that. I posted he should look to leave once his fight was on the ESPN+ app.

            It will not be next because Bob has said it will not be next. IMO, Crawford/Manny should fight Spence /Thurman fight and the winners fight each other. WIth Thurman out, Spence can fight the Porter/Garcia winner next.

              Honestly, nobody wanted Crawford which sounds CRAZY now that he is one of the best P4P right now. But yeah it took Mikey Garcia suggesting his then Manager at the time Cameron Dunkin to take a look at Crawford. Also Timothy Bradley Sparring him and telling people about him.

Crawford tried to cherry pick an old star instead of trying to fight the top welterweights lol... not surprised since it fits his career goal of minimal risk.
                Beating Crawford would have made his already amazing legacy even better, and he's way more known than Horn. I don't know how you cherry pick an old star..who has a belt..if he is a cherry pick(by your own words) than he also doesn't deserve to hold a belt since he himself is cherry picking. Arum robbing Pacquiao is the next greatest thing Arum could have done for Crawford because he tried hard to get Pac in the ring with him but he avoided it.
