Arum manages Crawford correct? If hes smart, he feeds Pacquiao to Crawford. It would catapult Crawford to star (maybe superstar) status with a win.

Strength and Conditioning Camp: Upper-body power
Cameron Goff returns with a routine to add upper-body power to your locker
Strength and Conditioning Camp: Upper-body power
The strength work we documented last time was a lot slower, with a focus on tempo, but with power you need to explode. In boxing it’s all about the amount of power you can produce over a period of time; you don’t want to to lose it all in the first round. We aim to hit the major muscle groups, before pulling them all together to produce force. A lot of the movements here replicate movements in the ring. Strength worked the slow-twitch muscle fibres, but now we are recruiting and developing more fast-twitch fibres and building the stamina they have so they can be used, to devastating effect, throughout a long fight.
Ideally you would train power twice a week, so we use the Tuesday for upper body and the Thursday for the lower body – the upper-body exercises are below while the lower-body routine will be posted separately. Hurdle jumps increase elasticity in tendons and ligaments so should be done on both days – that’s why the double jumps are on the ‘upper-body’ day. This power phase will last three-four weeks. By the last week, we slowly enter things to take us onto the next stage, which is conditioning; we use similar exercises, but add an extra 10 seconds or a couple of reps.
1. Hurdle jumps 2 sets/3 minutes’ work/30 seconds’ rest
Set out eight hurdles. Jump over each one in turn, using both feet simultaneously, then jog back to the starting point and repeat the process until three minutes has elapsed. Land centrally after each jump and the less time you spend on the floor the better.
2. Explosive press-ups 8 sets/10 seconds’ work/40 seconds’ rest
Place two boxes shoulder-width apart and get into a press-up starting position. Keep your elbows tight into your sides and your wrists directly below your shoulders. Move down into a deep position, then power up and go as high as you can.
3. Dumbbell single-arm explosive presses 4 sets/8 reps per arm/60 seconds’ rest
Start by holding the dumbbell level with your chin, the other hand in a guard position and your feet square-on. Jump into your boxing stance and push the dumbbell up, the power transferring from your foot all the way through and up to your hand. Do all eight reps of one side before changing sides.
4. Medicine ball explosive lying floor presses 5 sets/8 reps/40-60 seconds’ rest
Lay on the floor with your knees bent. Start with your arms extended, lower the ball to your chest, then, with a big drive up, let go of the ball and your partner catches it. Receive it back and when you are ready, drive up again again from the prone position. This may mean a two or three-second ‘rest’ at the bottom; do not rush this exercise.
5. Medicine ball backfoot explosive presses 4 sets/6 reps per arm/40-60 seconds’ rest
Start, in front of a wall or column, with both hands on the ball, which should be tight to your chest – as should your arms – and just under your chin. Take a short, sharp step back, drive through your hips and explode forward with your arm and hand. Do all six reps of one side before changing sides.
6. Super-seta)Medicine ball wall presses 3 sets/20 seconds’ work/40 seconds’ rest
A super-set predicates that you do all reps or time of both exercises before you rest, so in this case, 20 seconds of the first move, 20 of the second then a 40-second rest, three times. Start slightly further than full arm extension from a wall or pillar, with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your core tight and both your elbows and the ball tight to your body. Throw the ball forward with an explosive burst from your shoulders and chest, then catch it, pull it in and repeat.
b)Plank jumps 3 sets/20 seconds’ work/40 seconds’ rest
Place your hands inside shoulder-width, with your arms fully extended and your wrists under your shoulders but inside your chest, heels close together, back straight. Don’t let your hips drop. As you jump, you should move your arms and feet outwards, as shown.
7. Resistance band woodchops 3 sets/8 reps per side/40-60 seconds’ rest
Start with the band fully extended from the apparatus, and hold it in both hands, keeping a slight bend in the arms. Turn from your toes up to your hips, twisting away from the apparatus and generating the power through your heels. Do all six reps of one side before changing sides.

Recover like Floyd Mayweather (without the money)
Boxing Science’s Danny Wilson explains how to recover from training without it costing the earth
WE have all seen the videos and pictures of Floyd Mayweather visiting the Sub-Zero center in Las Vegas, but what is he actually doing?
This method is called Cryotherapy, a chamber that exposes the body to extreme temperatures of -130 degrees centigrade for a duration of between 2-3 minutes.
There is a mix between the scientific evidence supporting positive or no effect. Despite this, Cryotherapy is used by major sports clubs in football, rugby and American Football as a procedure to relieve pain symptoms, inflammatory responses, injuries and overuse symptoms.
Repeated treatments are apparently not able to have cumulative effects; however, the adaptation occurs when Cryotherapy follows or accompanies intense training.
What does this mean? Cryotherapy would be beneficial when under high-intensity training, however should not be used too often.
With sessions costing around £50, and with a mixed bag of evidence, we tell you how you can Recover without Money.
Get the basics right
A lot of athletes and recreational sport participants like to go for the fancy, niche products that have been proven (or in a lot of cases not) improve performance by as little as 1%.
First, you need to focus on the 10% blocks to build your foundations
Eat, Sleep, Train, Box
Sleep
Methods
- 30-36 hours of sleep deprivation can result in a loss of performance (physical, mental)
- Deprivation negatively affects hormone levels
- Sleep provides time for adaptation
Eat
- 8-10 hours sleep per night, monitor through sleep app
- Hot shower before bed
- Avoid reading, social media.
Methods
- Athletes need to replace sweat losses and maintain fuel stores while recovering from a training session.
- Inadequate refueling can affect muscle soreness and the immune system.
- There is a 2 hour window where nutrition can affect optimal recovery that athletes need to take advantage of
Train
- 3:1 Carbohydrate : Protein drink/food immediately following training, a Yazoo milkshake is a great example.
- 4:1 Carbohydrate : Protein meal 60-90 minutes following training.
- Replace fluid lost (1 kg of body mass lost = ~1.2-1.5 litres of fluid)
Methods
- Foam rolling can reduce muscle soreness while improving muscle function and range of motion.
- Mobility exercises following a workout can improve range of motion.
Box
- Mild stretching to cool down 10 minutes
- Foam Rolling 10 minutes every day
- Mobility program once a day.
Methods
- Managing your training loads is important to ensure you get the most out of your sessions, perform well in the hard sessions, and have the easy sessions in place for effective recovery and physical adaptation.
- Training with similar volume loads can increase training monotony, this can lead to overuse injuries, illness and training plateau.
Get these 10%’s right and you will probably be on par with Mayweather!
- Plan a training week of heavy and light days
- Monitor sessions on rate of perceived exertion (RPE scale of 1-10)
- Have an active recovery boxing session of 30 minutes shadow boxing.

true but i don't believe crawford is ready yet.
i wanna see him vs jean n lucas first. wouldn't mind a peterson/or khan fight after those either.
then him vs pac late next year.
but it depends if killa stays with arum. he has only a couple of fights left on his tr contract. so all arum tryna do is keep him by offering pac fight . maybe crawford becomes a super star...maybe not. marquez beat pac but he is not near pac in popularity , even with a mexican fan base.
it depends on what crawford's team chooses business wise.

I can't get down with Oscar supposedly influencing the Ring ranking just for the fact that Canelo isn't on there anywhere.
A better possibility is that the Ring editors who come up with the rankings are not PBC fans as opposed to Oscar sending out anti-PBC memos.
Khan is really about to get the Pacquiao fight
Actually, if anyone at PBC would have a non-standard Allah Haymon contract that doesn't give Haymon veto power of an opponent I would think it would be Khan.
