    He's also a 3 division champion and became undisputed at 140. People can pick apart his resume all they want, but who else has accomplished something like that recently and is still undefeated?

      Crawford needs to say something great to make that fight happen. It's 2021 or never.

        2 fights left I think. Arum contracts can go on forever though.

          In my personal opinion he’s the most skilled/talented fighter in the sport.

            He took the Timothy Bradley route

              I think he is just discouraged being shut out by the top welters who keep it in-house.

                Not even close. Bradley took risks. Was rarely the bigger man in the ring.

                  I think TC might sign with Haymon soon.

                    Huge fan of watching Crawford, he’s even my P4P #1, but it feels like he’s given up hope of securing the big and legacy defining fights.

                    I’m getting the impression he’s content just getting paid for demolishing the likes of Brook and Khan.

                    Saying not fighting Spence won’t hurt his legacy is crazy talk IMO. It majorly hurts both their legacies if this fight never happens.

                    Not really.

                    It doesn't hurt Spence's as much as it hurts Crawford's

                    If Spence moved up, fought, and beat GGG, Canelo, etc. then not fighting Crawford is irrelevant in his career.

                    While Crawford's best win is literally what? Postol? Crawford's career and legacy is lacking at that point. Crawford is pretty much peaked at 147. If he doesn't fight Spence. There's nothing more for him. He's not going to 154 to fight Charlo.

                      It wouldn’t necessarily ruin either’s legacy but it definitely hurts your legacy when you fail to fight a natural rival.

                      It’s like Bowe and Lewis we can never really look at their careers without wandering what would have happened if they fought as pro’s.
