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

[Mirus]

I was hater of Terence Crawford because he was beating smaller guys. Now I respect him very much. He is an excellent boxer and he is not dirty like Andre Ward.

Maybe arum can get crawford thurman. TC needs a soft touch after all the real competition he's been fighting. thurman would provid a solid tune up bout for him to test the waters at 47

I could see he's having a hard time making weight in his current division.

Totally up to him whether he moves up or not. No problem from this fan. He could even fight a bigger Salka for his debut fight for all I care. No problem. I'm not a hater who would demand that he fights a top fighter in the upper division just to see him lose.

Take your time doe.

Horn vs Crawford so Terrance can get a strap without fighting Spence or Thurman

[McNulty]

Only Thurman or Spence could pull that off

I don't think so man. We saw how Mikey Garcia's power didn't move up with him and I don't think Crawfords power is going to move up with him either.

I dare say Jeff Horn gets him. Garcia, Porter (way too strong for Crawford), Vargas, Matthysse --- probably get him too.

Thruman your time soon come

1) Thurman is not a tune up or showcase fight.
2) Boxing is more than power
Crawford is a different fighter than Mikey Garcia, Crawford doesn't rely on his power, he just can turn it up and end it when he's normally ready, but enough of his power will move up to keep his opponents honest..

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

Isn't Peterson on the table as an opponent for Spence in Dec?

[JRB123]

Most of the PBC guys have fought each other either at 140 or 147. The only person yet to face the notable guys is Spence, and that time will come.

Crawford will fight a tuneup before he fights either Horn or Pac. Arum will milk Horn as much as he can and delay that Horn-Pac rematch until Pac is ready...then he'll have Crawford fight one of those two.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Yes, Horn superfight is next step.
