Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Hints That Welterweight Division is Next Stop

[methodcal]

Thurman, Spence, Garcia and Porter. Anyone else and Crawford is a pretender.

With haymon.

WBO should order Crawford vs Lucas Matthysse as a Eliminator for a shot at Horn

Maybe ESPN will put up the money to get Crawford those other fights Arum would normally be reluctant to make

crawford is the wbo super champion at 140 lbs so he has priority over mandatories i think, so he can be nex to horn above the others. imo arum will try to juice horn as much as he can, they made a huge event in australia they can do it again and the rematch with manny in 2018 is also a posibility.

A lot of people are turning a blind eye to reality! Garcia, Spence, Porter, Khan, & Petersons are all available but none of those fighters seem to want to face each other! All of those guys are calling out Thurman when its clear Thurman is recovering from elbow surgery. How can so call boxing fans expect for Crawford to fight those guys when they won't even fight each other while all being under the Hayman banner! But people want to continue to blame Bob Arum for some strange reason! GTFOH

I would love to see all the top guys at 147 fight each other. At least some of those fights have already happened like Khan/Garcia, Khan/Peterson, Peterson/Garcia, Thurman/Porter, Thurman/Garcia, Porter/Brook, Spence/Brook so not sure what you're rambling on about.

Crawford has yet to fight a single one of the guys you mentioned and last I checked, none of those guys are claiming to be P4P #1, unlike Crawford and his fans are so maybe it's time for Crawford and Crooked Bob step up their game??

Most probably Matthysse, Van Heerden, or someone of that level (tier 3).

In other words, get ready for the barnburner that will be Crawford vs. Chris Algieri

Yep, possibly. He fits Tier 3, the way Arum likes them. Might even be someone of a lower tier (like Postol 2 at welter).

No need to rush things at 147, start with a Matthysse, Vargas or a Horn and go from there, picking up the WBO belt at 147 would be a great move then maybe a super fight with Porter or Garcia etc. Great times ahead!

We all tend to overlook this. Thanks for pointing this out to us.

Spence is the guy to beat at welter, IMO. Crawford won't fight him right away, if ever. It's a guaranteed loss now. The rest he could possibly beat, with some struggles.

Actually now that I think about it, the guy that makes the most sense is Mike Alvarado. He's coming off a KO win so Bob can market it to the schmucks at espn as a "clash of Titans" and keep it in house as always

I agree with you Spence would beat him, but Crawford probably beats the rest of the PBC guys. Would still like to see him actually step up and fight them before we crown him. Spence, Thurman, and Porter would all be competitive fights, would love to see Crawford in with them while in their primes but I'm not holding my breath. Too bad he's with Bob because Crawford/Spence would be one the best fights in all of boxing!

I cant wait to see Crawford vs Danny Garcia

Oh God, no. The gods of boxing can't be this bad!

Yes, sir, agreed! We need to see more of him first at welter.
