    Terence Crawford.

    How good would you say he is? I think he's a great talent. He can box, but he can also fight on the inside (look at his fight with Burns). In the Gamboa fight, he showed he could adapt. He's also a switch-hitter, and is equally good in either stance.

    I see him cleaning out Lightweight, and being a handful for a lot of fighters at 140.

    I do not like anything about Carl Crawford. I can't wait till he gets his ass whooped.

      He is good but the LW division is quite dry in its talent pool department. If he does go to 140 I think he will have a lot of trouble with the heavy hitters such as Lucas, Provo, Peterson,DG,hell Molina Jr or Broner would put up a nice fight. I don't think TC would have enough power to keep them off of him for too long and we will see how long he can outbox them before getting tagged. On top of that we will get to see his chin get tested seeing as how he was hurt by Gamboa in his recent win. He will also have a nice run for his money from boxers like Herrera, Postol and Algieri. I would like to see him against either Mike Alvarado or Jessie Vargas first, before diving into stiffer competition.

        All I can hope for is he has some competitive fights.

          It'll be neat if he goes to 140, and Mikey G. goes there when he gets contractual stuff settled. That's the best division in the sport right now imo. I think Crawford is the goods and can beat everyone there, but I'd like to see how he stacks up against the big punchers like Matthysse, Molina, Prov, etc.

            Very gifted technical boxer, but not a transcendent athlete, which will give him some problems at 140.

            It's the same reason why Pac and Floyd can move up so well. They're transcendent athletes. Floyd slowed down a bit leg wise, but he's still faster leg speed wise than every WW other than Manny and possibly Thurman.
