    Yes big time. Almost like the rest of the sport can't co-exist because of a mancrush which spawns weird love levels and irrational and ill-informed hatreds of basically 95-99% of the sport.

    They are boxer fans, not boxing fans and this place is crawling with them.

      Would have enjoyed Crawford vs. Mikey Garcia- but definitely down to see him take on 147.

      If Spence doesn't move up first- Spence gives Crawford the most trouble I think.

      Crawford and Thurman would be a great fight. 147 is a deep division though, lots of tough fighters around.

          You got to admire tje kid for going after the top cat, but Crawford is going to catch a L against Thurman straight out of the box.
          He should fight someone like Rios as his first fight. Just to get used to the weight.


          And who knows if Rios puts down the tacos it could be a fun fight.

            Yes I know!

              Crawford needs to realise that this is almost certainly the scenerio he is faced with.

                Who said he's not willing to fight spence he called out the number one guy at the moment. If spence was the number one guy I'm sure he would've called him out instead

                    It's ridiculous that Crawford probably won't fight again, this year. He breezed through his last fight, in just 3 rounds, and should be ready to go again by November. Jessie Vargas hasn't been busy lately. Not a fight we're all clamoring for, but it'll keep Terence busy, and be an introduction to welterweight.
