    Ahh. He needs to be matched carefully.

      Why?

      If Jeff Horn can become a Top 10 middleweight, surely a welterweight P4P can do it much easier, right?

      I keep hearing that Crawford is all about skill. Are you saying he doesn't have the skill to hang with any of these guys? ANY of them?

        Skill wise, he can beat them I just think he is hiding glass in my honest opinion.

          Maybe not. Maybe Gamboa just landed an equilib shot at the right time. Crawford took a flush shot from Jeff Horn **** on the chin in the first round and didn't move.

          I just think it's a good move for him. I don't see him going anywhere but down if he stays at 147 and I don't think he can make 140 anymore; which I think would be better for him if he could.

            The thing about Crawford is that he will bring a lot of speed to that division and power also. I think he matches up well against opponents like Manguia, Lara, Hurd, Harrison and Jermell Charlo.

            Even though they will have both the size and strength advantage over him. I can still see him easily outpointing and outclassing those guys because they will be a lot slower than him.

              Sad to see him looking at 154 when there are so many opponents at 147. Why the hell did this man sign with boxing’s stingy ass Arum? We could’ve had some great fights out of him.

                He beats everyone at 154. Tony Harrison and Julian Williams are the best boxers in that division. Crawford is too good for them.

                  I see someone mentionned khan. No interest there imo, but what about KBrook vs Crawford. Just a suggestion.

                    Same reason Tim didn't sign with Haymon. They're just not sure they can beat those guys AND they didn't want to sign their lives away for fame.

                    Williams? The same Williams that got starched by Charlo?

                      you red k bum you are dumber than a bag of hammers! crawford can easily fight gaymon's guys if he decides to move up! he can easily become the mandatory for the wbc wba or ibf and boom there ya go! recent example is gvozdyk vs chickenson! good to see you admit that gaymon is afraid of crawford and doesn't want to put his bums at 154 against crawford just like with 147 lest crawford runs through all those pbc scrubs!
