    Yea don't forget about the punch er I mean "THUMB" to the eye. You know those funny thumbs, always finding a way to sneak over to the right side of the glove

    Seriously though, Lucas is the top guy and I wonder if Crawford would be biting off more than he can chew fighting him next. Perhaps one more fight against a credible opponent?

        Let Crawford have a couple of more fights and build himself up. No need to rush him. If he's the real deal that's a fight that could be huge in the future. I would like to see Lucas fight Broner. That would be fun.

          I'd love to see Broner but I dont think he will be getting on any Haymon cards while he is with GBP.

            Crawford, Herrera, or Postol. In that order for me.

              I heard Garcia's extra toe gave him the advantage when he'd step on Matthysse's foot.

              The fight should really be a no-contest if you ask me.

                    I'm wondering if there's a fight at 140 that would both be a "gimme" for Crawford and good practice for a Matthysse bout. Ruslan's too dangerous, and I don't think anyone else fits that bill. Not unless they can somehow get Rios down to 140.

                      Greed man if crawford fought like he did in the beginning against dulorme matthysse would hurt him but crawford is the better boxer man tough tough fight WAR MATTHYSSE!!
