Paul’s view on Crawford’s boxing retirement

“He’d have to get in line,” Paul told reporters, including MMA Junkie, during a media scrum Tuesday. “Canelo, Crawford, all of these guys can just take a ticket, and we’ll see who I want to fight. He’s not retired, bro. You guys have seen this millions of times in boxing. He’s not retired, but he’s got everyone talking about him now because of that, so smart play by Terence.”
