FRISCO, Texas – Mikey Garcia wouldn’t allow his prior problems with Bob Arum’s promotional company prevent him from putting together a deal to face Terence Crawford in his next fight.

The former four-division champion made it perfectly clear that he wants to fight Manny Pacquiao next. But if that high-profile fight doesn’t materialize, Garcia would welcome a showdown with Crawford, the unbeaten WBO welterweight champion.

The 32-year-old Crawford (36-0, 25 KOs) doesn’t appear to have a logical top opponent available for his next fight, reportedly scheduled for June 13. A Crawford-Garcia fight would be just the type of marketable matchup Crawford would want, assuming a fight against IBF/WBC champion Errol Spence Jr. isn’t available for the Omaha, Nebraska, native.

Garcia (40-1, 30 KOs), who’s also 32, discussed the possibility of facing Crawford next during a press conference following his 12-round, unanimous-decision victory over Jessie Vargas on Saturday night at Ford Center at The Star, the Dallas Cowboys’ training center.

“Look, with me, I’m ready to fight anybody,” Garcia said. “If Terence is available, we’d definitely like to get in the ring with him. I think the bigger fights there – everybody would love to see me and Manny. That’s the fight that I would love to entertain. But I’m available and I’m here to fight anybody. I ain’t gonna run from anybody. I ain’t gonna just fight opponents. I wanna fight the champions, and [Crawford is] one of the champions, also.”

Crawford is commonly considered one of the top three boxers, pound-for-pound, in the sport. Many regarded Garcia as one of the top five fighters, pound-for-pound, prior to his lopsided loss to Spence (26-0, 21 KOs) in their 12-round welterweight title fight last March 16 at AT&T Stadium in nearby Arlington.

The Oxnard, California, native feels beating Vargas (29-3-2, 11 KOs) has established him as a legitimate welterweight worthy of challenging any elite opponent in the 147-pound division.

Crawford is promoted by Arum’s Top Rank Inc., Garcia’s former promoter. A contract dispute with Top Rank primarily kept Garcia out of the ring for 2½ years, until Garcia and Top Rank reached a separation settlement in May 2016.

Their history won’t give Garcia pause when it comes to working with Top Rank at least in a more limited capacity.

“I’m just ready to get in the ring,” Garcia said. “I mean, it seems like, you know, when both fighters wanna get in the ring, you know, the promotions, networks, everything is able to work together. I think anything can happen. Sometimes we have to put aside our differences in order for the fans to enjoy the right fight.”
