If this fight is not going to happen then it's too bad for us. Probably this fight will not happen if the first negotiations will bog down, Crawford is not getting any younger and should be pursuing big fights like this before he retires.
Yes, that's too bad as it was anticipated by most boxing fans in the world. But for me, that will happen.
Lots of time to prepare for this if the supposed target month is October or even on the 1st quarter of 2023 but that was already too long waiting.
If ever the fight won't happen, both will likely meet at the Super Welterweight but there are big names here that they will meet like Jermell Charlo, Brian Castano, Erislandy Lara etc. Charlo is one of Crawford's targets in the future. We should just trust the process as both boxers really gives us hints that this fight will happen for real without anyone standing in their way.
