Crawford to face Algeri in April

[mathed]

I actually like this fight. Algeri deserves a meaningful fight at 140. He shouldn't have been in there with Pacquiao in the 1st place. It's a great test for Crawfords 1st fight at 140. I think Crawford wins quite comfortably to be honest. Then on to the next one!

Why do people keep saying this? He already fought AND beat Prescott at 140 on 2 week's notice. He won't be disadvantaged at all fighting at 140.

True, T. Crawford is a talented fighter but he will be fighting in jr.ww now.
No matter how good he was in lowerweights , it will be different if he go up in weights. His speed, power, punch resistance etc. will diminish a bit there,

Agree with what you wrote . But even with Crawford jumping up in weight I don't think Algeiri has the skills and definitely doesn't have the power To trouble Crawford.

Just my opinion but I'd like to wrong on this

Sorry, I respect Algeri but at this point I just think who ever gets thrown in with Crawford is just a stepping stone for him on his way to becoming one of the very best fighters in the WORLD P4P

He is taking the right road to the top, been battle tested, wasn't afraid to test himself when most thought he wasn't ready, starting with the Prescott fight and after that his opponents got tougher and tougher and he has gotten better and better

I agree, but there is no guarantee that everything will diminish. Some guys actually improve all three aspects that you mentioned. It depends on the natural weight class they should be in. But I do agree, that's the main thing to look for with any fighter moving up. If he carries the weight well, then I think he's a match for anyone in the division. It should be good fights ahead at 140-147!
