Crawford vs Dulorme for the vacant belt, winner faces Algieri, not Ruslan vs Lucas

I'm calm, i believe Crawford is a terrific fighter but i just don't get it how people are OK with him getting an easy opponent because it's his first fight at 140 when he is fighting for the full title. Algieri wanted too much money, well, fight the next guy in the ranking, that's Matthysse. I't wouldn't be an easy fight for Lucas either. OK, Crawford is not ducking but he is being protected too much this time... People are okay with Crawford getting the shot because he's a young American with potential. Boxing politics, Arum has the WBO under the thumb. Matthysse v Provo doesn't really need a title any more than Mayweather-Pacquiao does, it's just a good fight between two guys the public want to see fight.

After Matthysse beats Ruslan, He'll probably fight Postol for the WBC belt which I reckon Danny Garcia will vacate. yep, i hope lucas is taking this training camp very seriously, as if he wins, he's the mandatory for the winner of Garcia vs Postol

I just CAN'T with some of you on this forum, some of you guys are just too emotional attach in the strangest way possible. How is he ducking the 140 punchers when he haven't even fought in the Division nor does he have the title yet. Algieri never official lost the title so if anybody should be complaining is him and he was giving the chance to fight for HIS BELT. But allow him first crack at the winner is FAIR. They all will fight eventually CALM DOWN, Crawford is just now entering the Division, it will plenty of time to make those fights.

Now it's crawfords fault that the sanctioning body mandated him to fight dulorme and Algieri lol.

They waited for the last moment after Lucas vs Ruslan was signed to move up and fight the easier Dulorme for the title. You can call it smart move, to me he is ducking the 140 punchers. De la Hoya seems to have zero leverage in todays boxing, he can't even garantee a title shot this year for the only boxer that stayed loyal to Golden Boy.

Calm the ****k down, it's his first fight at 140 and he has decent opossition! Jeeezz

He didnt wait to move up to get lucas and ruslan out the way lol plus arum isnt working with banner for now.. Algieri had the 140 title crawford was gonna fight him but chris wanted more money.. he had the 135 wbo title so he gets to fight for the 140 title

Crawford was the WBO Lightweight champion therefore has priority to fight for the WBO Light Welterweight title. Nothing unusual here. However it's worth noting that Top Rank and the WBO works closely together, too closely I'd say. Andy Ruiz (obese Heavyweight) is ranked # 2 Gilberto Sanchez # 2 Juan Diaz # 1 Gamalier Rodriguez # 1 Jessie Magdaleno # 2 Zou Shiming # 1 Korobov was Quillin's mandatory challenger etc. Theses boxers are all promoted by Top Rank and have been fed mostly journeymen / tomato cans their whole career waiting for an undeserved title shot that is sure to come since it seems the WBO has signed an exclusive rights contract with Top Rank.

When ya gonna realize that Ruslan is garbage, he told the media that he doesn't want to face boxers, so why should Crawford be scared of him. Crawford was 135 WBO champion, WBO will always show love to a current champ that is moving up before anyone else.

If anything he should be fighting Algieri which was the original plan, Algieri should have been allowed to keep his belt while going to fight Pacquiao. Why that fight is not happening for the title, I'm really not sure that is on the WBO, not sure why Dulorme is fighting for the title either, again that is on the WBO for approving that. That being said if Terrance Crawford beat Dulorme and Algeiri, who's to say he won't fight the winner of Matthysse vs Provodnikov later this year?

Well, why isn't he facing Ruslan or Lucas? They are ranked higher than Dulorme. His next two fights at 140 are against feather fisted fighters...
