Crawford vs Spence in 2019 would be pretty sweet... By then Crawford should be done making the Top Rank carousel of in house fights.
That only happens if Terence Crawford is more Floyd Mayweather than he is Timothy Bradley; not to have a major knock against the guy, but I see in him a guy content with getting the good and regular $2m-$3m per fight, happy to fight whomever Top Rank can put in there with him, and be fine with fighting that way 2-3 times a year for as long as he wants to fight.
Say what you want about Floyd, even when he was fighting for $1m, he had the ambition in his mind to be a $100m fighter, and he did basically everything he had to do to get there.
Errol's not Floyd either, but he had the ambition that Ray Leonard had too, has enough folks in his camp helping him see the bigger picture, and he has the ambition to want to be the biggest star that he can be.
Pretty much. They're different fighters, but he's basically at where Floyd was before Gatti brought him to New Jersey for a PPV; otherworldly talent who folks only fought when there was no one else for them to fight.
Floyd beats Oscar and beats Hatton, Floyd becomes the money man, and every fighter 154-135 puts Floyd's name in their mouths.
Errol will get that first defense (in Dallas or NYC), will likely make 1-2 more defenses, and then Keith Thurman will likely be compelled to fight him. That fight goes as I expected, Spence emerges as the WBC/WBA/IBF 147lb champion, and you end up with Wilder/Joshua, Canelo, and Spence Jr as the sports' biggest stars.

To be fair, I don't hear anyone really talking about Spence. He's the guy you face as a last resort.

That's an action fight, nobody has an easy time with Granados, but I was hoping Shawn would fight somebody ranked higher at 147. If we're not getting Porter vs Danny, I would prefer Granados to fight Danny.
I think porter will be to much.
Wide UD. Will def be a good fight though.
Granados is always game. Cf. post below yours: even in defeat he has given everyone a tough fight and has never lost by unanimous decision. But yeah I see Porter being able to overpower him and taking a wide, but competitive, UD.
Got to get both guys paid, so a bit of patience; Porter takes this fight, Danny Garcia likely returns on his own card to close out the year, folks see what's up with Keith Thurman, and you likely run with Garcia-Porter early 2018 (note that the Porters' don't have **** to say about Errol Spence Jr).

Good matchup. Granados is one of my favorite fighters to watch, technically limited but he always brings it. A sort of poor man's Salido. This fight could be a little scrappy at times but it should be entertaining overall.

Deontay Wilder is going to demand the lions share in any unification. Meanwhile in the UK Hughies cousins are fighting in his undercards settling family feuds in the ring ; Joshua is selling PPV for Charles Martin and Pulev! hahahaha!!!
Damn, your cracking buddy, take a break from it, come back stronger in a few days

Lion's share of the US money, but he's got no hand in on the UK money, tbh.
PBC fighters be just beating around the bush to get to the real fights though. Why not D Garcia vs S Porter? Both off a tough loss to Thurman, both looking to get back to a title. Instead they'll go the long route as usual.
