Coppinger: Rift Growing Between Crawford and Top Rank

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Espn said during the Loma-Lopez telecast that this fight was on. So they did promote this fight during that telecast.

Crawford just did an interview with Bryant Custer and I wasn’t impressed at all with what he said. Most boxing fans have no idea how much better Canelo is to Crawford. It isn’t about “athleticism” or style, many elites will have variance, so it should really and only be about who you beat. When Crawford was trying to justify his stance as being above Spence he said, “I’ve beat 7 Champions...went up in weight.. undisputed...”

As Bud listed the Champions he beat I was almost snoozing compared to the guys Canelo fought. He says Burns or Indongo in a tone for some stepping stone, even Horn.

With that being said, if he truly feels he’s P4P #1 while boasting about those names then it makes me believe he’s just hiding at 147 and angry that he hasn’t made a huge purse even in the range of Jacobs’ check against Canelo.

He should just go to DAZN. He could probably make PAC vs Crawford

october 2021 is far enough away for two more Crawford cherry picks.

I don’t think PBC can pay him good money. But if he can stay independent - that will open doors for him and create opportunities.

I think he only needs the Spence and Pacman fight. The rest are easy to make.

I mean if he fights Spence, Thurman, Pacquiao etc, then he will certainly make good money.

The independence route is interesting. I was hoping Canelo would do that and he is, but he's the cash cow and able to pull it off. Can Crawford do the same? If he can, that would be awesome. Can get the winner of Taylor/Ramirez and then potentially Spence. But do you see Arum giving him the winner of Taylor/Ramirez without him signing an extension? That's hard to see.

... there is no money in the sport right now...

I'm sure Ramirez or Taylor is next which are good fights for him

I don't think there is a guarantee of that happening, especially if Crawford doesn't sign an extension. If I am his team, I DEFINITELY threaten to leave if they don't get him that fight next.
