    Does Crawford Lack Ambition

    We’ve seen fighters with lesser ability be more game than Crawford

    Crawford dgaf about becoming Ppv king nor the p4p king it seems

    There’s no urgency in getting the big fights whether it be for cash or glory

    I agree tbh man, he does want the big fights but he doesn’t demand they happen ASAP.

    He shouldn’t have re-signed with Arum in hindsight, it’s effectively a roadblock to a fight with the PBC guys.

    Hopefully we get a Fury-Wilder situation and Arum and Al can work together.

    I have no interest in seeing Crawford fight the likes of Brook.

      Yup, he no longer has any goals in the sport. Im sure when he started he wanted to prove hes a bad MF'er and he did that and wanted to make good money and he does that now so he's happy to fight these subpar oppenents for millions.

      Watch if Bob Arum was to tell Crawford we cant pay you 6 million for Brooks you getting 300K, watch how quickly crawford finds that hunger to start fighting real names again.

        I think he should've done the Kell Brook fight at 154 to make more of a statement.

        Brook is undefeated at 154. People would still say that Brook was past it, but now they're going to say he was past it & weight drained to a division he hasn't fought at in years.

          Crawford is compared to Timmeh

          But Timmeh got himself fights with pacquiao and Marquez by being a loyal bop arum employee

            He has no spark, no personality, it just seems like he is going through the motion at this point.

            He is the best fighter at TR so i dont wanna hear no sht about him not having a voice at his company. If he wanted to, he could easily make demands about his opposition yet he doesnt.

            He is perfectly happy to be Arum’s puppet and fight whoevers for few mill here and there.

              Yup but..... their's no pacquaio or Marquez in Top Rank for crawford so..... womp womp womp for crawford. Im surprised people rank him so highly I say in 1 more year he will be bottom top 10 p4p if he keeps up this subpar run and in 2 years he wont even be on people top 10 outside of espn employees top 10.

                this makes Crawford sound like the 2020 top rank edition of Andre Berto

                Crawford is so much better in reality

                  A big difference would be.

                  Bradley signed with Bob in order to get the Pacquiao fight.

                  Crawford re-signed with no real big name options on the table.

                  Arum has done an excellent job managing Crawford’s career but he simply doesn’t have the personnel to get him the big fights at 147.

                    Brook hasn’t had a relevant win since 2014. He’s washed...
