If the Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford mega fight is momentarily off the table, as reported much to the chagrin of "Bud," then the consensus pound-for-pound best still has plenty of options if he stays at 154 pounds.
Crawford, the new WBA super welterweight world champion, was recently asked about who he'd like to fight most at 154 pounds between Sebastian Fundora, Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Jermell Charlo and the Nebraska native didn't pull any punches.
"It would definitely be Fundora if him and [Errol] Spence don't fight," Crawford offered on Shawn Porter's "The PorterWay Podcast."
"It'd definitely be Fundora."
As Crawford alluded to, Fundora and Spence were linked to fight although a concrete date has yet to be announced just yet.
That said, Crawford's choice of Fundora makes sense considering the latter is the WBO and WBC unified super welterweight world champion, meaning a fight with Fundora would give "Bud" the opportunity to capture the lion's share of titles at 154 pounds.
Bakhram Murtazaliev is the division's other world champion, owning the IBF title.
An undisputed crown at 154 pounds would make Crawford the first boxer of the four-belt modern era to become undisputed champion in three different divisions as he's already pulled off the feat at super lightweight and welterweight.
