[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

“First, he has to win on Saturday. But assuming all goes well, we have to get him a marquee fight,” Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum told BoxingScene.com of the plan to advance Crawford from unbeaten two-division champ to future boxing superstar. “(Yuriorkis) Gamboa was sort of on that level. But we need to start working towards that big marquee fight.

“A fight with Manny Pacquiao is that marquee fight.”

That's all you need to hear! Pacquiao vs. Crawford @ 144!

Pacquiao is shot. His PED's have lossed their effectiveness and he hasn't had a knockout since 2009 against a DRAINED Miguel Cotto.

Crawford will knock Pacquiao out.
