Ok Crawford's coach made it more clearer

- Looks like Eubank is not being trained by Bomac anymore
- There are some interests from people who want to put up money to make this fight happen
- Its a way for Crawford to take his time at 160 by fighting Eubank and then contending for a title
- Like Shane Mosely taking 2 fights when he moved up 2 weight classes to go to 147. More like an acclimation fight


Wouldn't mind Crawford contending trying to get Undisputed at 160

yea it's not a fight people want or care about but if Bud is serious about chasing Canelo then it makes sense
It's basically an accilimation/stay busy fight to gauge where he is at after the move up
I wonder if there was any talk with Tszyu, jumping right over 154 seems kind of odd. he must be going all in on begging Canelo

if crawford is going to be doing that then he should relinquish the belts

After what the IBF did to him, after allowing Spence to hold on to the belt for 64 years, I don't think he has a problem letting any belt go at this point.

Yea.. when he moves up then the the belts will be vacated or stripped.. There is zero incentive to relinquish the titles before that point.. In the meantime if you a welterweight and want to be champion then go fight Boots vs waiting to fight for a vacant

If he drops them, each body should start a tournament.

147 looking a little bleek. A tournament could showcase a lot of talent and who's the best of the best.

147 been trash.. Haymon just did a good job fooling the public into believing a lot of those guys at 147 were "elite"..
147 is gonna be replaced as the premiere weight class by 135,140, and maybe 154.. a tournament probably wont help.. The only active fighter there right now even worth mentioning is Boots Andrade... oops I mean Ennis

If the Canelo fight comes or not, I don't really care. Honestly I prefer if he goes into the 154 or 160 division and get Undisputed there

It's a very clear path for him to get it in either division

160 us fastest path to Undisputed while having the "weaker" talent, so as long as some of Buds power carries up and he can take the heat they throwing he should be able to box his way to undisputed.

The best they got in 147 outside of Boots is Brian fukking Norman. Same dude that managed to look even worse then he did in his last fight a couple weeks ago

Unless there's some contender I'm forgetting, 160 is arguably better than 154. Jannibek and Adames at 160 are better than Tim Tszyu at 154 and scattered titles

 

[TheNig]

I remember wondering if he would keep this up after the Loma fight.
