Crawford's years are really wasted. Inoue if he wins in his next defense or if Usyk wins against Fury deserve to replace Crawford as the new pound for pound.
Maybe it came from the camp of Eubank Jr, but doesn't make sense. However, I don't see any names in the 147 lbs that could give Crawford a good fight or even more money. Charlo maybe at 160 lbs would be good as we all know that during his fight with Spence, they are going back and forth him and the Charlo's.
But as others have said, it's the rematch that we are all been waiting because as far as we know, Spence has activated it already the last time we heard. But so far, there are no noise about it.
Without a confirmation fans been hang on the air, Crawford's years are being wasted as there's no confirm fight that being updated maybe he's enjoying those millions that he recieved from his win and he's trying to keep that belts and whoever the next figther to challenge him will need to bring him an interest to call for it, not sure what might be the next step for Crawford and that rumor fight against Eubank Jr, is just a publicity to bring Crawford name up or maybe to hype Eubank and who knows if fans buy this maybe they will start creating a channel to negotiate for a possible match up between the these two fighters.
