Take fighters at their words brehs.
If a fighter says he doesn't want to fight someone, and he's already said Easter was a very difficult fight for him due to height/reach....and then he actually went on to skip fighting Easter, I can only assume he's also being honest about not wanting to deal with Crawford outboxing him from a distance in the pros just like he's saying, being that Crawford is even tougher to beat than Easter AND Mikey already has 1st hand experience with Crawford in the ring. And lost.
All dis. At least he's honest
I'm still dead at "he wants to make the fight easy as possible." So you saying Crawford, by doing what you don't want him to do (using movement, reach, boxing IQ, distance), could make the fight easy?
He must've boxed Mikey ears off in that fight.
Mikey is actually telling us a whole lot here.
