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

Awww come'on Crawford. Not like this...

Yeah, all of a sudden Crawford can't make 140 . . . . . .???

I like that Crawford isn't gonna play any games and is taking the next step in his career moving up. If Garcia wanted that fight he could have called for it after Broner but instead he talked about staying at 135 and fighting Linares. Crawford makes bigger purses, is ranked higher p4p, and sells more tickets than Garcia. He doesn't need him. Crawford's first test at 147 should be Jesse Vargas and then Jeff Horn. Horn will duck him though. I would love to see Crawford vs Danny Garcia/Shawn Porter.

Spot on....

Crawford is available.
Mikey is available and willing to go up even as high as 154 for Cotto.
So what tf are they waiting for?

Mikey-Linares Crawford-Horn.

In the real world, that's the way is will play out. Mikey and his brother don't want Crawford, never did. Crawford cleaned out the division and moved on. Horn is like Carlos Baldomir , he knows that he has little chance at keeping his belt and that's the fly in the soup. Horn may toss up his belt to the highest bidder, someone that needs a belt, has a bigger name and can pay...like Danny Garcia.

So who is there for Mikey's next fight?
PBC is full of part-time boxers.
Most times they don't even fight each other.
Where is he going to get fights other than from outside of PBC?

You're implying that Mikey Garcia is more dangerous that Thurman or Spence...SERIOUSLY?

Lets look at the time line:

1 Crawford fought the very best in his division. No question there. At the same time here was talk of Mikey moving up to 140 for a fight but instead decided to stay at 135, possibly fight Jorge Linares. Easy to verify, no question that's the way it went down.

2 After Indongo, nobody was left for Crawford at 140 so he moved up to a significantly more dangerous division. I Don't think anyone can dispute the WW division is packed with much more dangerous fighters. Next Crawford called out the very best in the 147lb division starting with the king pin Keith Thurman and said he's willing to fight Spence. Another easily verifiable fact, it's all there in his interview on national TV.

3 A few days ago Mikey Garcia changes his mind, doesn't need to stay at 135 anymore and is now willing to move up to 154 for Cotto. In conversation Garcia mentions Crawford as a possible future opponent. Again, this is all very easily verifiable, it was all over the news.

The time line is the time line, that's the way it went down.

That said, I don't understand what you are implying with your comment?

I can only assume by the nature of your post that you seem to think Mikey Garcia is a tougher fight at 147 then Thurman, Spence or even Danny Garcia.

Mikey beat a drained down, hollow Adrian Broner who was not the best at 135, 140, 147 or any other weight class.

In the end Mikey will fight Linares... at a catch weight if necessary.

As for Crawford...I like Mikey but he has no intention of ever fighting Crawford. Robert Garcia has no intention of putting Mikey in the ring with Crawford and I don't blame him but for GOD SAKE please stop acting as if it's something either want, because they don't. This is right out of the Bill Jo Saunders BS play book.

Crawford is an athletic craftsman with a mean streak and a problematic style. Like Spence Crawford is a very high risk dangerous fighter. Smart fighters from 140- to 147 may talk about fighting Crawford or Spence but when given the chance they'll say "just not today."

[factsarenice]

True but Garcia is best at 140 & Bud is there already.

Garcia fought a drained hollowed out Broner at 140. He should fight someone worth a dam at 140 like Indongo or Viktor Postol

Crawford is shook. He knows mikey won't carry power up to 147. Beeotch move man
