He already said he wasn't fighting again this year anyways after the Pacquiao fight :manny:

Come to think about it, he was adament even before the Pacquiao fight that he wasn't fighting again this year. Makes me wonder if he went into the Pacquiao fight with an injured hand :jbhmm:

i swear this generation of welters is going to equal the lost generation of 80s heavies at the rate they are going with regards to not living up to potential

Not exactly. Whatever you think about Crawford being with Top Rank there were external factors in play too. He fought everyone he should have while he was at 135 and 140 it just happened the level of opponents wasn't great in those divisions at the time.
He hasn't beaten an elite fighter but he beat good-very good fighters, always in dominant fashion, he didn't have close fights with that type of opponents. Porter had his shyt pushed by Julio Diaz, Danny Garcia against Herrera, Brook against Carson Jones, etc. Crawford always beat the same level if dudes dominantly. Also his skills and talent are very obvious to anyone who watches boxing.
So it's still not an easy "model" to follow and you need more than just simply beat good opponents somehow.
Also maybe it's too early to speak about Crawford's career in retrospective. Let's say he fights the (by the time) undisputed 140 champion Prograis/Taylor/Ramirez and then sometimes at the back end of 2020 Spence and wins both... nobody would give a shyt anymore who has he fought or not fought before.

The 3 guys you mentioned... seems like Haney wants all the smoke, he's already calling for Loma, only 20... there's nothing what makes me assume he won't face elite level opponents.
Ryan Garcia might be a diva but he's taking a tough fight now. Tank is a knucklehead and his lack of discipline gonna be his undoing I also don't like how his career was navigated lately but he also fought a Pedraza already, I think he will face elite opponents too at some time.

Duno is buns, the way Golden Boy has talked him up it almost feels like this "swerve" was orchestrated to try to build up Garcia vs Duno as a legitimate co-main for Canelo vs Kovalev when in reality its a Shobox prospect fight.

I have a hard time listening to 78sports nowadays. It seems like he spends damn near 30 mins giving shout outs.
