    I'd love to see Crawford vs Spence but TC might still have some unfinished business at JWW. I re-watched Spence vs Algeri the other day and I was very impressed by Spence's performance. Pacquiao didn't even beat down Algeri like that.

      Yes, I'm buying. You can tell the skills are there and he makes fight changing adjustments every single fight. After round 3-4 he doesn'tose another round.

        I don't see much at 140 & as a fan there is nothing appealing to me for TC at 140. What are you suggesting? Troyanovsky?

          His ability to adjust during fights is phenomenal. It will be interesting to see how he handles guys with power like a Thurman or Spence.

            I don't think it's feasible for promotional reasons but I'd love to see him fight Garcia at 140. Personally, I would like to see TC go up to WW right away but I don't know that he's planning on doing that. He could fight someone like a Guerrero to get himself acclimated to fighting @ WW.

I've seen people say that he might be the next Mayweather...wtf???? really based on what exactly??? His best wins are against Gamboa and Postol. Gamboa was undersized and Postol is good but not great. If/when Crawford beats guys like Thurman, Spence, Pacquiao, Porter, Garcia, Brook, or even Mikey Garcia then we can have that conversation about him being special. It's sill too early to say that about him now, the wins against Postol and Gamboa are good but I need to see more from him to be convinced.
              Those guys aren't in his division.Crawford just got to 140.

              Why is the bar set so high for certain fighters,and so low for others????


              Crawford does not have to be the next Mayweather...all he needs to be is the next Bud Crawford.

                WW is dominated by PBC, that's why Crawford shouldn't move up (at least not permanently).

                  Pac is not on Floyd's level....stop mentioning the together.

                  Garcia and Thurman are at 147...Crawford just got to 140.

                  I don't see you calling for GGG to fight anybody above his weight...I wonder why?

                    Crawford has already moved up once.
