      He's actually a tremendous puncher at his first and second weights.. So it's no surprise he can still make something happen in his third weight especially with the speed he retains.

      This is kind of a ****** thread, but I give a Crawford-Garcia fight a 50/50 rating. No one else at 140 beats Crawford because they do not have anything to frustrate him or have certain intangibles. Lucas will get beat badly and especially Prod. They are not very great at cutting off the ring with boxing ability or as smart as Garcia.

        And Peter Quillin is better than Sugar Ray Robinson? You've seen that timeline in someone's sig on here right?

          This is actually reasonable analysis. However Garcia has an iron chin. Terrance Crawford won't hurt him if big punchers 1 division up couldn't even drop him.

          And if getting caught by Gamboa made him dizzy, wait til Swift touches him.

            I think that given time TC can achieve a lot at 140.

            He's got a great natural athleticism - so with the right conditioning I think he will carry 140 no problems at all.

            I really enjoyed the fight with YG, but I think TC was pretty much in control - despite losing the early rounds.

            Give it say, another 12-18 months and I'd put money on TC beating Lucas and Prov.

            TC has some real skills and the potential to go far.
