    Terence Crawford will be a 4 divisional champ by the time he retires

    Terence will win titles in both 147 and 154 division in the coming 5 years. He handles DSG and pacman comfortably, the 147 champs he struggles with are one time and brook however if the weight is no problem his technical superiority will lead him to victory over one time. At 154 after the charlos and canelo move up to 160 there will be a vacuum that will encourage the 147 titlists to move up so he will just be in contention with the same fighters + lara.

    With careful matchmaking it's possible.

    He would need to wait things out and avoid certain guys, but there will always be a chance to move up and find a beatable champion.

      Agreed, the charlos and canelo are the 3 fights he should avoid like the plague due to the size/power differential.

          Those 2 are soft touches but he just unified against the clear #2 in the division so its not like he isnt fighting top competition. I assume he will continue to fight top competition as he climbs in weight.

            He does seem really legit, no one I'd pick to beat him with much confidence although you never know what might happen in boxing.

            I think if Arum wants to make this Pac-Crawford fight he's gonna have to work double time promoting Crawford to meet Pacquaio's demands. A legit opponent would help tremendously, and I see why Arum has him busy, he needs to do the same thing this year before Pacquiao at the end.

                154 is a stretch. I can't see him beating Thurman or Spence at 147 either.

                Crawford vs Bradley is a pretty good fight that will probably happen this year if not next.

                  Postol is his only credible win and he's 29. He gets full credit for that Postol win, I actually picked him to lose that fight, not because I thought Postol was some top fighter, but I felt Crawford was very overrated at the time. He's proven himself to be better than I thought, but I still don't consider him a top P4P fighter. He's not as good as advertised.

                  He needs to start fighting credible opposition, enough Hank Lundys and John Molinas.
