Crawford has many options besides Horn.

    Im talking about the last 3, Once Garcia fights Lipinets

    2/ 3 of Lomas opponents have either come off losses or moved up in weight or a combination of both

    In Crawfords last 3, 2/3 have never been World Champions, Diaz has never beaten a former World Champion , and Indongo best win is Burns a fighter Zlatican had already beaten

    2 of Mikey's fights are against current undeafted prime World champions in their weight class and his other fight in that span is against Broner a 4 weight World champ ( Although the least impressive ever ).

    It's not even close

      For the same reasons as always. We’ll get Crawford-Horn, Thurman-Spence late 2017/early 2019, Garcia-Porter later in the year, but until Crawford becomes a free agent, I don’t see it happening.

        You ever think maybe Crawford is perfectly fine with fighting guys level below him for a million bucks a pop? Horn is a belt and easy money, he's not about to go after anyone else. I doubt he fights anyone outside of top rank for years. We're gonna be sitting here talking the same stuff come end of 2018 asking when he's gonna fight one of the big dogs at 147 and we will have the same answer

          Mikey Garcia and Terence Crawford’s are the fighters of the year by a good margin.

            We'll be talking about who is ducking who. And I'll bump this topic to remind everyone that it didn't have to be the way it is. There was a time when Crawford could've picked which welterweight champion he wanted to target to become their mandatory.

              I'm hoping Crawford doesn't do the same as Bradley and stay with TR. I guess it depends on what carrot Arum has to dangle.

              As far ad 147 ia concerned, Haymon has the fighters. I want to see Crawford in that mix. Any idea how long Crawford has left on his contract?

                I think I heard it expires at some point in 2019. The one thing that TR can dangle at Crawford that kept Bradley around is Pacquiao. Expect Crawford-Horn, Crawford-Pacquiao and then a rematch against one or both smh.

                  ie, he's the new Tim Bradley; a really good fighter, but a guy happy to simply cash the checks and fight whomever Arum puts in front of him.

                      Mikey is headlining a Showtime Championship Boxing card early next year that has already been announced and confirmed. Crawford has nothing scheduled, announced or confirmed.

                      Mikey's 2017 opponents have a combined record of 55-2.

                      Crawford's 2017 opponents have a combined record of 48-7.
                      How's that possible when Crawford fought the once beaten Felix Diaz (controversial loss too) and the unbeaten Julius Indongo?
