    Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford's Path To Superstardom At 147 Pounds

    By Andreas Hale - They keep trying to tell us that boxing is dead but the sweet science just isn't listening. And if the announcement that Terence Crawford will move up to a very crowded and competitive welterweight division tells us anything, it's that we have a plethora of intriguing fights ahead of us.

      Crawford is a potential opponent for Pacquiao even though Roach sees him as a big threat to Pacquiao.

      He is young and active. He has the ability to change stance and moves a lot.
      I see him beating Horn.

        Top Rank = split decision "losses" and rematches/trilogies with the likes of Horny Jeff and whayever other corpses are still enslaved to Top Rank.

        Not sure what the 2017 definition of superstar is but if you're not with Goldenboy Promotions or Roy Jones Jr Promotions then you're going to be mishandled and exploited.

          Pac became a super star under Arum. So why can't Crawford?

            Crawford is going to beat the brakes off of Horn and it won't matter if the fight is in Horn's country or in his back guard at his family reunion.

              Ideally we'd see:
              Crawford-Horn
              Thurman tune-up
              Spence-Peterson
              Garcia-Porter

              Then:
              Thurman rematch with Garcia-Porter winner

              Then:
              Crawford-Pacquiao
              Thurman-Spence

              2019:
              Crawford-Pacquiao winner vs. Thurman-Spence winner

                Crawford ain't going to be**** until he beats Thurman or Spence. And I don't see neither fight happening. Crawford is good, but he hasn't beaten anyone other than Postol. I don't understand how many people have him higher than Thurman who beat Porter and Garcia.

                  crawford might not be as good as people assume he is. theres still a lot to prove, put him in with spence and thurman and lets see what happens. hes world level for sure but any world class fighter could look like a superstar against crawfords opposition cause its god damn awful. them 140'ers dont know how to fight and the lightweights are even worse.

                    Leave off. Crawford will wipe the floor the Horn. He’ll probably knock him out.
