    Should Terrence Crawford Move To 147 If He Can't Get The Pacman Fight?

    What is there for TC at 140? The guy is in his prime, he is a fairly big guy, i think moving to 147 wouldnt be difficult.

    How much money can he make at 140? Postol was viewed as the 2nd best guy in the division and got totally outclassed.

    There is no one at 140 that can challenge him

        Yeah he should. WW is a much better division. It has better names and better pay. 140 is.. quite empty.

        Wow Larry, you're sad. Obsessive and sad.

        In no world is the prestige and names at 147 the same as names/prestige at 168.

          If he won't fight Bradley all that's there is Benevidez and Vargas.

          If they can work with Haymon than that would be great with Garcia, Thurman, Spence, Khan, Peterson, Felix Diaz, etc.

          Burns has the wba belt at 140 but who wants to see that again?

          Maybe Troyanovsky jumps at the opportunity to fight on HBO in the USA. Rances Barthelemy would be a nice fight too if Haymon let's him fight.

            PAC aside, ...Garcia and Broner are good options for Crawford since they are also just transitioning to 147. Not sure if Arum/Harmon are serious about working together though.

              "Unification is the goal".

              On a serious note, I'd really like to see him move up. Maybe one more fight at 140.

                All the good fights at 140 or 147 are guys aligned with Haymon, besides Manny of course (Bradley is his close friend, won't fight each other). I think he should just stay at 140 unless he wants to go take Vargas' title at 147. He can't fight Broner, Mikey, Danny, Thurman, Rances, Porter, Spence, ect. so he needs that Pacquaio fight now as leverage to get those other guys to work together.

                    Yeah, he doesn't have much choices outside of Manny. Vargas, Benavidez, and Frankie Gomez aren't exactly huge fights.
