Problem is, Manny wasn’t the man at the time, Keef was. Until Spence beat Porter and unified two of the top belts.
Spence is the man at welterweight, period. But Crawford hasn't earned it.
If he hadn't ducked Porter, that would have been a fantastic way to prove he's legit - stop the guy that took Spence the distance and almost beat him. But Crawford knows that Porter in full linebacker mode is a BAD style matchup for anyone.
Now, you might see Swift pull an upset against Spence and become the man.
Swift, who once was WBO mando, also ducked by Crawford. If Danny pulls it out, he WILL call Crawford out hardcore, since he already beat Crawford in the amateurs. If Crawford ducks that, his lies about wanting to unify will be exposed front and center. He'll have no choice but to accept.
And IF we get to see Crawford against Danny...your #1 P4P is taking an L and likely getting stopped off a series of No Look Hooks™.
