Has Crawford given up?

given up avoiding big fights? nah he's just started

Nah, I don't think so. He's a prideful guy but of course he wants the big fights. He's going to get them soon enough IMO. Spence isn't leaving 147 until he fights Crawford and Crawford is a free agent after his next two fights, including the one against Brook. He will have a lot of leverage and will be able to force Arum to either make the fight with the Taylor/Ramirez winner or threaten to leave to the PBC.

The comment that made no sense from him was that Thurman asked for 10M to fight him after making only 2M to fight Pacquiao. Does he really believe Thurman only made 2M to fight Pacquiao? Who is in his ear telling him these lies? Now, Thurman shouldn't be getting 10M to fight Crawford, but at this point who knows if that is even true, especially when Crawford is believing the lies told to him about Thurman's purse vs Pacquiao.

What also was off is him thinking the Pacquiao fight was set but couldn't happen due to Covid. Sean Gibbons said that was a complete lie and the fight was never seriously discussed. It really seems like Crawford is being told things by his team to keep him happy but they aren't always the truth.

I'm one of the few that doesn't mind the Brook fight. It's better than his recent competition even if Brook may not be what he once was. The fight should go rounds and he may need to fight more cautious than usual.

Crawford is a bad man in the ring. I'm a fan and I hope he gets the big WW fights in 2021 to show just how great he really is.

Yeah i think he’s trying to make it seem like he’s not gonna chase spence but it’s absurd that a fight like that doesn’t happen. Disgraceful actually if they never fight each other.

I think he may be giving up on the Spence fight. He said it did affect his legacy at 147, if the fight didn't happen, but that he has already accomplished so much that over all it wouldn't affect his legacy. I think he's probably referring to his chances of making it to the HOF and being considered a great fighter. However, I agree both Spence and Crawford need to fight eachother to maximize their legacies.

When the killer instinct in Crawford goes then we'll know, but last I checked he goes for the finish still. I like him to stop Brook in the 2nd half of this fight also.

As Crawford suggested his contract with Arum is almost up. So maybe he has one more TR fight then he's free...at the ripe age of 35 XD XD XD

Shame. Always wondered how Bradley would've fared against Cotto, Mosley, Floyd, etc.

Isn't his contract almost up???

I don't know if PBC or Top Rank/ESPN will allow it, but Crawford needs to jump into the ring and call out Spence. "Do you want to fight me or did that car crash make you scared to cross the street?"

Spence jumped into the ring to call out Porter. Danny Garcia jumped into the ring to call out Spence.

42 year old Pacquiao isn't fighting either after a lay off that will be over a year and a half. Pacquiao will take an easy fight like McGregor, then he'll either retire or fight the winner of Spence-Crawford for Undisputed.

Why is he P4P no. 1? Because of eye test?
