Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford: Mikey Garcia Fight Would Have To Be at 147

[al-Xander]

We have yet to see more surprises in this sport. Loma vs Rigondeaux getting made was one surprise. Fighters with different promotional outfit working together. People were on record expressing skepticism prior to the announcement. And nobody can deny it.

We need another surprise like Crawford vs Mikey, which is another fight not likely to be made soon. Some doesn't have to be like Andrade vs Lara, which could be made after their respective fights.

Surely big fights are always available, but it takes time to see them happen.

This ones easy. Cotto is old and battle worned and risk reward is great. Crawford is young and prime and is still unknown. No reason why the fight can't happen at 140 when hes the undisputed champ there.

was thinkin the same thing.

also i think crawford is every bit as good as he looks.

LOL about to face his first real test and now wants the lightweight to fight at welter. Wow.

[HarvardBlue]

Cotto is not in his prime, Crawford is in his prime and is the best fighter in the world right now.

What does that have to do with what weight they should fight? Garcia talked about going to 147. He's also saying he'll go to 154 for Cotto. Crawford is telling everyone he's going to 147. Everyone includes Garcia. I don't understand why this is so complicated.

[AdonisCreed]

Make it happen. If Mikey will fight Cotto at 154 he can fight Crawford at 147 NO EXCUSES!! I don't care who wins I just want to see them fight!!!

[HanzGruber]

lol um ok but Crawford is the one throwing out excuses :bukkake:

Excuses lol what? He's moving to 147. The Garcia are the ones saying they want to fight later so it can be a big ppv

[MisanthropicNY]

Manny Pacquiao had to be at 140 though...

But now Mikey has to be at 147... Got you...

In other words, Crawford v. Horn - 2018 for the WBO strap!

[HarvardBlue]

I don't see any issue with this, it's obvious Crawford is done at 140 after all he has all the belt there, now he has already spoke about 147 as his next adventure with Arum even talking about the Horn fight. And Garcia was willing to go to 154 to fight Cotto, and he too has spoken about his willingness to fight at an higher weight.

I honestly didn't realize we basically said the same thing. So it's not just me?

[al-Xander]

Come on promoters, give fans surprises. Get them excited and make boxing great again.

This sport needs a messiah and make big fights happen.

Well doesn't matter. Top Rank won't do business with Mikey regardless. Mikey showed true willingness to fight the best with the Broner fight. Crawford is talking about 47. I'll believe him when he mans up and fights Jeff Horn.
