    Crawford in their with any of the bigger 140's and its lights out. He'll get by with a few more decent outings against smaller or average sized guys, but @ 140 against bigger heavier hitting guys hes out. Crawford got stunned pretty bad by Gamboa, whose 5'4. Think about Garcia 5'8 with that left hook... Night Night.

    Crawford is no Mayweather.. hes closer to Floyd then Broner...but hes no Floyd.

      Crawford what ever "HYPE" he is getting now, he EARNED IT, it wasn't given to him like SOME FIGHTERS!

      As for matching up with Garcia, 50/50 I think, Garcia has the Punchers Chance but Garcia boxing skills are a bit underrated as well, he showed versatility against Zab Judah and Matthysse

      Crawford could stay outside, time him and out-box him also IMO

        I haven't heard anyone call him the king of 140 yet. He hasn't even fought at LWW, so how can anyone crown him?

          You guys gotta remember. Herrera is crazy busy, and moves like a mongoose. TC is very deliberate and text book.
          Crawford would school Garcia just like he beat him in the ams.

            He did fight Prescott at 140, but Prescott isn't all that good to begin with and was already past his peak at that point. Crawford's best win is still Gamboa and as impressive as it was, Gamboa isn't a true lw.

                  And Garcia is as fast as Gamboa is?

                  Crawford picks Garcia apart.

                    TC is a beast, no doubt, but I just see this guy getting hurt. I'm telling you guys. Crawford got away with those shots landed by Gamboa, because of the size.
                    Yeah, guys like Lucas and Ruslan would probably hurt Crawford if they put hands on him.

                    But, would they? Crawford can move and punch on the fly very well and is very elusive. Gamboa hit him plenty, sure, but remember, Gamboa was an highly decorated amateur and much, much more accurate, faster and technically sound than any of those guys you mentioned.

                    As for punching power, i wouldn't doubt Gamboa punches harder than Angieri, Peterson and maybe Alvarado.

                      Oh, I thought Prescott fight was at 135. I stand corrected. Still, he hasn't done enough to be crowned at 140
