      An honest boxer? Crawford just jumped in my favorite boxers list.

      Crawford actually was amused when Yuri tried to exchange power shots as if they were evenly matched.

      Amir, Broner, Floyd, Espinoza etc etc this is how its done. We are not ******. Respect the fans.
      I felt like this as well.

      Crawford has confidence without arrogance.

      I was a good, entertaining fight with plenty of action.

      I think that Crawford could deal with Khan and Broner at 140 as well.

          I think that TC could likely handle LP and LM.

          He has the skill and potential to be more competitive at 140.

          That said, either Khan / Broner / Peterson / Matthesye @140 would all be good fights to watch.

          As for the 'inside' argument - TC has got the hand speed and timing to deal with most.

              Crawford Proved Little

              Came in at 152, beat tiny Gamboa, still got rocked by the much smaller fighter. He gets made to look like a nobody if he fights Khan, Matthyse, Peterson, Porter or any full size welter. Heck, 152 is Canelo land. Maybe that will happen, Canelo likes to fight smaller guys just like Crawford does. Maybe as an easy comeback fight for Canelo after Lara takes Alvarez down.

                Canelo may weigh in at 152 but he'd rehydrate after the weigh in to around 168-170.

                    Gamboa just ran up on the wrong 135 champion.....the other 3 (Abril, Figueroa and Vazquez) are food for Yuri.
