De La Hoya Interested in Making Vergil Ortiz vs. Terence Crawford Title Fight

“The only guy that I would think twice about would be (world titlist) Terence Crawford, but still it’s a fight that I would love to make now. I would put him in with Crawford next. We would most definitely do Crawford versus Vergil.”

De La Hoya said it would be no issue on their end to do the fight with Crawford promoter Top Rank.

“I think working with (Top Rank chairman) Bob (Arum) has always been a pleasure so I am sure it would be no problem,” said De La Hoya, who was promoted by Arum for most of his career and despite massive issues with each other as rival promoters in years past they work well together now...

The 33-year-old Crawford (37-0, 28 KOs), who has won titles in three weight classes, holds the WBO welterweight title and made four defenses. Ortiz is No. 2 in the sanctioning body’s rankings, meaning a mandatory position is not far off.

“So, maybe I get a mandatory on that or something,” Ortiz said. “I’m not gonna turn that down. I’m not a fighter that will turn down a belt opportunity for money. Winning a belt is going to give me opportunities so I want to fight for the belt. Hopefully, I can force a mandatory or something like that.”

Ortiz said he was honored by De La Hoya’s comments about his willingness to match him with a fighter of the caliber of Crawford, who is universally viewed as one of boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighters.

“That makes me feel great. I’m grateful that I have the confidence of my promoter behind me and I feel like I can do it too. I agree,” Ortiz said. “We can make the fight next. I’ll happily take it. Definitely.”

What are we waiting for? No need for a mandatory! Porter is #1, Ortiz Jr. is # 2, so if Porter doesn't want it, here's someone who will! Make it happen!

Do they accept pre-orders? Here's my $$$$.

Crawford offered Danny Garcia a career high payday and Danny fought ... Adrian Granados instead.

But Danny was a good, qualified opponent for Spencer...?

Crawford is trying to make the fight but I dont think Errol wants it :-/

If Crawford team really wanted to fight Garcia they would of sent the terms and contract over to haymon like Danny dad said to do instead of asking them on Twitter dm

I know the plan was for three fights in 2020 before the accident, but that was with him getting his first fight in January. I don't see how he gets three fights in after fighting in December. And didn't he say he wants to return in the summer? For him to mention the summer, that means he already has a date and a good idea of who the opponent will be. IF he does get three fights, in an ideal world it goes like this:

March - IBF mandatory (Get it out of the way)
July - Pacquiao for a three belt unification bout
October/November - Crawford (For all four belts undisputed showdown)

Well, I shouldn't say ideal because in a true ideal world, the Crawford fight would happen next...But we know it won't.

Fight Bud or leave the division!

4real! I'm all in! Can't understand why we're not hearing anything from TR???

[F l i c k e r]

Q1. Pacquiao.
Q2. Crawford.
Q4. Canelo.


If it's anything other than belt collecting and unifying the division. He's going to lose respect from me.

#StrapSeason or it's a waste of time. (Unless its a Canelo fight.)

man, fu.ck that but realistically it's probably going to have to be done.

But what a waste of a fight really. Because it's either some guy named Kudratillo Abdukakhorov or Shawn Porter. As the mandatory.

Crawford's WBO mandatory is Porter though. So, Spence is likely fighting the Uzbekistan fighter.

This is IF he fights three times. But remember, he can't fight on PPV three times in a year, that's not happening.

Realistically, he's probably gunning for Pacquiao and Crawford in 2021. Possibly Porter rematch if he can't get Pacquiao.

Spence 2021

1. Tuneup to get his legs back and the rust off

2. Pac

Spence 2022

1. Crawford

2. Thurman

If he wins these fights he had cleaned out 147 and is the greatest 147 since Mayweather,Leonard & Hearns.

[sbbigmike]

Translation...he can't sit on the shelf and make 147 easily
