Crawford's 3 fight plan is revealed by Top Rank.

After he KO's mighty Khan in a massive PPV event.....


1. Luis Collazo- Homecoming fight in Omaha. After conquering the mighty Khan on PPV, he's set to return to celebrate this massive accomplishment in front of his hometown fans. This is a much needed homecoming fight, since Khan presented such a threatening challenge to his reign.

2. Kavaliauskas- He will make his return to New York where he will face the #1 WBO contender. As told by uncle Bob and ESPN, Kavaliauskas is a dangerous Eastern Euro fighter who is avoided by the scared PBC boys. Being the #1 P4P fighter, crawford won't back down from a challenge and will take on the avoided boogeyman that no one wants to fight.

3. Van Heerden- Another Homecoming fight in Omaha. After beating the avoided and dangerous eastern euro, it's only right he returns to his hometown fans.

P4P #1 THE A SIDE

LMAOOOO. I hope Crawford ends his relationship with ESPN after his contract expires. He keeps fighting fighters like these all the time and people will be turned off. Bob keeps offering fighters millions to face Crawford but attaches a 5 fight deal to them. AINT GONNA HAPPEN. Bob should work on a fight by fight basis and not be a weasel all the time.

I agree with everything you said but loma vs linares was basically a mismatch gone wrong.

Loma opened up more than a 10-1 favorite im sure

Maybe you missed the part where Loma dislocated his shoulder early in the fight but still managed a KO?

I don’t mind kavaliuskas challenging for the belt. He’s a good fighter and deserves a shot. No way in hell am I interested in seeing bud vs Collazo. Rather the Dominican kid Adames get a shot. And no interest in Van Heerden. He’s a no hoper. But they’re definitely going to keep bud busy with in house ****ty match ups.

Kavaliauskas is OK, he is top 10 at 147

The other 2 fights are ****ing trash and I'm a Crawford fan.

In house fights that I think are kind of interesting and acceptable are: Kavaliauskas, Adames and Bes*****. All of those guys are talented undefeated prospects

This what you guys wanted though!!! No rush for spence, right? I dont want to hear any crying.

Another post with no source. Fantastic.

It's only smart the PBC freezes out Arum and makes those fights for Spence instead. Sucks for Crawford fans but business wise it makes no sense for them to help build up Bud's profile.

thurman and porter danny don't really want to fight spence they'd rather take their chances with crawford. I bet arum nabs one of those guys to fight crawford before spence does. a highlight reel ko win over khan will build his profile up khan gets a lot of casuals interested no matter what. crawford will be fine spence won't be able to run forever.

No disrespect, and I am not casting any personal aspersions.

But, I want this to be a lie.

So, without a source, I am going to assume it is.

(Yet, the tiny nagging voice at the back of my mind keeps whispering "yep, this is classic Bob Arum SOP!")

You have a link or source, or are you just talking out of your ass as usual?

I think Top Rank will make serious offers to fighters like Porter/DSG after the Khan fight. Let's see if any of those fights come to fruition.

Definitely in a tough spot if he can't get the PBC fighters.

Why cant TR make serious offer to Spence?
