Terence Crawford vs. Mikey Garcia.

Crawford. You can't take Gamboa vs Crawford into account as a measuring stick for Crawford vs Mikey seeing as how Gamboa actually risked in order to open Crawford up***8230; something Mikey won't do. Gamboa was able to land and be successful in the early rounds due to his speed and footwork as well as his courage to kamikaze into Crawford while Mikey would most likely try to box, shooting off from a disadvantaging range. Activity is another issue I can see for Mikey seeing as he is a methodical boxer and tends to breakdown fighters with lesser skill than him but he might not be as successful against boxers with equal skill. Crawford on the other hand is skilled, patient and poised as well, has good power at 135 and can box on both stances. I think Crawford outpoints him in a tactical match up with slow action but tons of strategy and skill. Fans will boo, some will doze off and others would hail it as one of the greatest "chess matches" of all time just to gain cookie points as boxing purists. If the fight were to happen today Crawford would handle Mikey fairly easy. I've been a strong critic of Mikey but he'd have a good chance vs Crawford down the line. Mikey is only 26 and still very much in his prime, has devastating power in his right and fights very intelligent.

Get real. Crawford beats everyone at 135 and below. The question is whether he's ready for 140.

Crawford too big for these jr lightweights, he wins easily. This would be a boring fight too.

I go with Crawford because I've seen Garcia hit consistently with right hands against Jonathan Barros, not to mention being dropped by Martinez and he struggled against a club fighter where he received a gift decision which was either the Navarette or Estrada fight. Crawford has not shown any major flaws and is bigger, rangier, master of accuracy.

I made this thread a couple days ago with a poll, most picked Crawford I was gonna support you and say this, but I didn't want be all douchey to OP. lol Was gonna wait for you to call him out. haha

I think Mikey might be a little more completr as a fighter with his skills, patience and power BUT I don't think he has the chin Crawford has (though that could be a size diff advantage as opposed to a really good chin). Toss up for me but it's hard to envision a non-pressure fighter putting a whooping on Garcia right now

I can't pick a winner. If I had to pick I would pick Garcia by KO because of his quick deadly left hook. Gamboa hurt Crawford and he is more of a 126 or 130 pounder. Garcia is a full 140 pounder. Crawford might be able to use his reach and skills to win on points.

TC is the better all round boxer...

Crawford. That is all.

I know this isn't the amateur's but Crawford already beat Mikey up bad in the ams. I think Mikey and Robert said it was like 19-6 or something. Also, Mikey is the one that told Cameron dunkin about him. With that said,I still think this is a good fight to make but I see Crawford beating him in another exciting fight.

Isn't Crawford going to have his next fight at 140? I'd like to see him fight Rios or Provodnikov as a first fight then maybe Pacquaio, Postol or Bradley. I think Crawford would give Provodnikov a boxing lesson.

I'm a big Mikey fan and am inclined to pick him but i'd say its a toss up right now.

I can't pick but I think Crawford might have more grit and more versatility than Garcia. But I think some people underrate Garcia's boxing skills, it would be an interesting chess match with hard leather exchanging.
