Do you find Crawford's stance on the Porter fight strange?

[Scipio2009]

It's more strange that Porter the challenger in this situation isnt the one calling for the fight. Crawford will make his money regardless. Who can porter fight next in the next 4 months that will bring anything to the table. He already beat Danny and Ugas and Kieth and Spence are hurt. Why is his dad speaking for him asking for the fight and not himself. As mean a dude as Crawford is does anyone really think he would back down if Porter called him on national TV.

The simple answer is yes.

Porter is in a holding pattern; until we get the WBC/WBA/IBF unification, Porter will have 1-2 so so fights, before getting a fight that lines him up for a shot at the unified champion.

Crawford saw how tough Spence had it with Porter and decided he dont want any of the work. He'd rather fight c class guys until Jose Ramirez moves up.

Crawford is pulling a GGG. Fight bums and claim top fighters are ducking him. Then turn down fights vs top fighters.

I'm neutral. All the talk is about how no PBC fighter will fight Crawford, yet Crawford elects to say that he's not interested in Porter at this time. It looks like a duck.

On the other hand, I totally get why he doesn't to fight Porter. He just lost his belt and is coming off a loss. Porter doesn't really bring anything. If you put Spence or Pac in front of Crawford, he would jump on it.

Nope. Why would he fight a gatekeeper like Porter. Pacquiao, Spence or who cares?

because he's fought guys like khan before?

[Bullrider]

Who cares? All this prove is Haymon treats Porter as a disposable item. Where is Thurman? Where is Garcia, who hasn't been active for months now. It also proves Haymon is slow to produce fights. Where is Ugas? Where is Lipinets?

Fans are better off seeing these guys signed with DAZN. PBC is full of inactive fighters.

But his realistic options aren't Porter, Pacquiao, or Spence. His options are Porter or Van Heerden in S. Africa

He didn’t have to make a deal with pbc to fight that loser.

If he’s going to deal with the ducking crew, he should fight Pacquiao or Spence.

because he's fought guys like khan before?

Bud COWARD is a joke !
