    Is Indongo Crawford's biggest test?

    I've been impressed with the boy, he has power, length, good jab, distance control etc. He's a big JWW.

    This would be one of Terence's best wins imo, and he'll have to move up to Welterweight after this, where true tests of greatness await him.

    dont rate indongo at all. crawford needs to step up, stop hiding in the budget division and fight where the real fighters fight, at 147

      Nah that's still Gamboa. As in I'd be surprised if Indongo has the same success in this fight that Gamboa had.

      But Indongo is definitely a credible opponent.

        Yep.

        Indongo is a guy who is a solid, strong, skilled light welter and someone who deserves the no. 2 slot so much more than Postol ever did.

        The winner of this should move up and face Thurman or Horn.

              I felt like Postol was going to be a bigger test going into their fight then I feel like Indongo will be. Not to say Indongo isn't a risk to Crawford, but I thought of Crawford as much more unproven back then then I think of him now so thats a lot of the reason why I hold my opinion.

              I suspect Crawford won't get a test that'll surpass the Postol test til he moves up to 147 at this point.

                I still tend to think that Gamboa was an even bigger test than Postol although I don't really see any test for him at 140 lbs , unless Mikey Garcia moves up.

                  Yep

                  Indongo got some great skills with an awkward style, he could give Crawford some Trouble

                    I liked Gamboa better & I actually felt Gamboa had much better moments in the fight itself, but Gamboa hadn't fought in a year (iirc had only even fought once or twice in 3yrs or something crazy like that too) + he was a killa at 126, but was two divisions up from there. I believe the deck was stacked Crawford's way for that one.

                    Postol was a more even looking fight going into his match with Crawford. But if you base your opinion off of the actual fight itself I can obviously see why you hold that opinion & wouldn't disagree with you from the 20/20 hindsight biggest test way of looking at this question.

                    And yea I do agree if Mikey fought Crawford, after & assuming he beats Broner & looks good doing so, I think Mikey would be at least arguably, if not clearly, his biggest test outside of moving up to 147.
