    After Matthysse beats Ruslan, He'll probably fight Postol for the WBC belt which I reckon Danny Garcia will vacate.

De la Hoya seems to have zero leverage in todays boxing, he can't even garantee a title shot this year for the only boxer that stayed loyal to Golden Boy.
      Calm the ****k down, it's his first fight at 140 and he has decent opossition! Jeeezz

        I just CAN'T with some of you on this forum, some of you guys are just too emotional attach in the strangest way possible.

        How is he ducking the 140 punchers when he haven't even fought in the Division nor does he have the title yet. Algieri never official lost the title so if anybody should be complaining is him and he was giving the chance to fight for HIS BELT. But allow him first crack at the winner is FAIR. They all will fight eventually CALM DOWN, Crawford is just now entering the Division, it will plenty of time to make those fights.

            I'm calm, i believe Crawford is a terrific fighter but i just don't get it how people are OK with him getting an easy opponent because it's his first fight at 140 when he is fighting for the full title. Algieri wanted too much money, well, fight the next guy in the ranking, that's Matthysse. I't wouldn't be an easy fight for Lucas either. OK, Crawford is not ducking but he is being protected too much this time...

              yep, i hope lucas is taking this training camp very seriously, as if he wins, he's the mandatory for the winner of Garcia vs Postol

                People are okay with Crawford getting the shot because he's a young American with potential. Boxing politics, Arum has the WBO under the thumb.

                Matthysse v Provo doesn't really need a title any more than Mayweather-Pacquiao does, it's just a good fight between two guys the public want to see fight.
