I've changed my mind about Terence Crawford, he SHOULD move up after all.

[W1LL]

Fook the alphabet organisations. I read an article in Boxing News which helped me see the light. He is above titles now and at least top 3 pound for pound. A win against Keith Thurman puts him at #1 in my opinion.

[STEPHEN90]

he needs to stop trying to fight a shot pacquaio and fight an elite fighter

[TonyGe]

He can fight Pacquiao for a lot more money than any active fighter out there.

There's nothing left to prove at 140. Might as well go up.

one more fight at 140 then move up

What makes him at least top 3 p4p? Beating Gamboa and postol? Seems like all it takes to b p4p these days is to have an undefeated record.

Why?

Terence Crawford isn't on the money yet, and he's in a spot where anyone with anything to do at 140lbs would have to see him and Top Rank.

Lipinets isn't a cakewalk fight, but he gets through that and he's basically sitting pretty at the weight for the foreseeable future.

As long as he keeps getting the opportunities (the pricing strata in Nebraska likely tops out at $250-$25, but Top Rank should be looking at outdoor venues for him in Nebraska when possible), Crawford will get to the money on his own.

Lipinets next, but then Regis Prograis, the Jack Catteral/Tyrone Nurse winner, Adrien Broner, Josh Taylor in the UK (Eddie Hearn has Sky Box Office to dangle), and Omar Figueroa Jr, are all options for him and mostly big fights. Add that the Mikey Garcia fight is something that Showtime likely goes to the mats for, and you've got the makings of a good long run at 140 if Crawford sticks to the weight.

You go to 147 and all the leverage goes away.

So, you basically want him to duck 147 and stay a weight bully?

The fight we eventually need to see is Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence Jr. at 147.

Mark my words, Crawford wont see the tenth round.
