Uncrowned<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m not worried about that guy at all. It\u2019s crazy how things work. I didn\u2019t even know who he was. When he saw me at the UFC and came up and shook my hand saying what\u2019s up to me, I didn\u2019t even know who he was.<\/p>\n\u201cBut then I see him online talking about how he\u2019d knock me out in the first round, and this and that. Well if you wanted to fight me, you had the opportunity to tell me, \u2018Hey, I want to fight you, what\u2019s up?\u2018 That\u2019s fake. If I don\u2019t like someone and want to fight them for whatever reason, I would\u2019ve been like, \u2018What\u2019s up, man? What do you think about me and you fighting?\u2018 I\u2019m not going to go hide behind the keyboard\u2026 and then be like, \u2018I\u2019ll knock this dude out,\u2018\u2026 I think that\u2019s fake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Topuria called Crawford out again after the victory, saying he\u2019d fight Crawford whenever he\u2019d be up for it. \u201cBud\u201d as asked about the post-victory callout, and feels Topuria is just trying to steal headlines.<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely think he\u2019s trying to clout chase,\u201d Crawford explained. \u201cI think he\u2019d definitely get in the ring with me for the right check. That\u2019s what we all do it for. But at the same time, he\u2019s, I don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t know what the f*ck he\u2019s doing. I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s thinking. He ain\u2019t even nothing to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n
After picking up such a massive victory, the chance to make big money is ahead of Crawford \u2014 whether it would be in a possible rematch with Alvarez, or possibly another big name in the boxing world.<\/p>\n
When asked about a possible fight with Topuria, Crawford doesn\u2019t see any upside, and says it\u2019d be not even in the same solar system as the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight in 2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor what?,\u201d Crawford asked. \u201cWhat money would I get out of fighting him? Tell me how much I\u2019d get out of fighting him. He\u2019s not nowhere near on the level of Conor McGregor. Let\u2019s be real. Stop it. Don\u2019t ever compare him to Conor. Conor was [up top], he\u2019s [way lower]. Like I said, I don\u2019t know this guy. I\u2019ve never seen this guy fight, and I watch a lot of MMA. Maybe I\u2019m slipping, maybe he\u2019s a good fighter. I don\u2019t know. But I\u2019ve honestly never seen this guy fight, for sure.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve seen Conor McGregor fight a lot of times. I\u2019m just saying. Him and Conor, it\u2019s night and day. \u2026 Am I going to make more with him than I made with Canelo? Am I going to make close? Listen, tell that guy keep up the good work in his career. I wish him nothing but the best.\u201d<\/p>\n
