    Charlo is PBC so he will duck Crawford also



    It has been independently confirmed that Crawford and Top Rank offered contracts to Manny Pacquiao when he was still under TR and then Danny Garcia. Danny Garcia's offer would've been a career high purse for Danny and his first headliner in a PPV event.

    Danny would reject the fight offer and instead fought highly esteemed Adrian Granados for $1m flat. This happened when Danny was publicly requesting for rematches with Thurman and Porter. Nothing says "I deserve a rematch" like beating a jounreyman instead of a 3-division undefeated champ who is Top 3 PFP in the world.

    Yeah, Crawford ducking everyone

    I don't know what was really on the table for anyone but I do know all these guys seem to be fighting each other and not Crawford.

    There's only 1 common factor to all of these occurrences and that's Crawford.

    The fact that you say Charlo would duck Crawford tells me that you aren't coming from an objective standpoint.

      He should be fighting champs at 147 now.

      We need Spence or Pacquiao in unification fights.
      Shawn Porter is a name AND a threat.

      Crawford has not been tested yet. If I see him spark out Danny, Ugas, Russell, Thurman or Porter with no asterisks like quick stoppages or whatever, THEN I will call for a Spence fight. Not before.

      Hell, if Crawford managed to drop Broner (since Manny couldn't), I'll acknowledge it.

      I need to see him fight someone in peak physical and be just as explosive.

      It's like Teofimo - KO artist yet couldn't drop Loma. Still, he was tested and we know he isn't flash.
      That's what is needed with Crawford. A test BEFORE he gets paid.

        Dude, Porter's already lost to Brook, who was just massacred by Crawford.

        He's already lost to Spence & Thurman too.

        It's time to start unifying belts, forget that "test" stuff.

        Crawford's considered P4P #1 in half the polls, Canelo the others.

        Spence is considered top 10 P4P in most lists.

        Let's do this and stop fxcking around.

        And why would Teofimo KO Loma?

        You know how rare it is for a P4P level defensive fighter like that?

        I mean, he beat a guy who considered P4P king.

        I bet you think Roberto Duran & Tommy Hearns couldn't punch because they couldn't knock out Sugar Ray Leonard too.

          Absolutely.

          Which says Crawford proved nothing. Not a damn thing.

          Scratch that.

          He proved that he could take a dump on the streets of San Francisco and his fans would call his turd elite *****.

          Smoke and mirrors.

            Uhhh what?

            The common factor is ducking. And its Crawford getting ducked.

            PBC dont want to legitimize Crawford and they do that by allowing any of them to fight Bud.

            Crawford tried getting younger and current Pac, prime Danny w/ a career-high payday + PPV headliner.

            Crawford cant force someone to sign a contract...apparently not even if he offers opponents career high purses...

              Charlo-Crawford for undisputed after that.

              ***** the politics at 147 lol. He’s two fights away from legendary with that route.
              I endorse this. Cept it's not gonna' happen. The Spence fight is not gonna happen. Bud wants tall money, easy. It's obvious that he's reached a point that he feels entitled to 8 figure PPVs and endorsements. Those days are gone thanks to China Flu. But he wants what he wants. He'll retire soon. It's a disappointment. He's a disappointment.

                Not sure if he's an 154. Guys like Jermall and Andrade lurking in that division a couple of minutes ago. Crawford also came from 135. Lara and Trout were naturally around that division and Lubin is a bit of a tweener. I think he can take Tex but Charlo?

                  A guy like hurd would just walk down Crawford at his size.. he walked lara down like weve never seen. crawford hasnt even fought let's say the second tier of wws like the porters of the world, what in the world would make anybody think that he can hang with guys much bigger and stronger than that.

                  Hes literally fought the all crippled team, benavidez (knee), khan (broken chin), kell (broken eye sockets and broken scale).

                  Hes literally "Khanning" us at this point. Has done nothing to deserve a big pay day yet hes calling out the biggest guys in the division whilst getting hurt and dropped by guys that he has no business being in the ring with in the first place.

                  The ugas fight would have been a good barometer to see how handles a solid big ww that's somewhat in his prime. Porter too

                  Had he taken one of those fights and looked as impressive as he does next to these no hopers, **** yea I'm all in, talk yo **** sway, get that bag.

                  But until then it seems like hes scared of doing the groundwork to get to a pay day.

                      We've only seen Brook lose to GGG, Errol Spence, and Crawford, so how do we know that Brook is a "shell of himself". Who's proved that?

                      All 3 of his losses come to P4P level guys. 2 against the guy who's P4P #1 on most lists.

                      We can call Brook a "shell" when he starts losing to contenders and gatekeepers.
