    Could THIS guy be Terence Crawford's next opponent...?

    His name: Sebastian 'Man Bun' Formella.

    ...what, you've never heard of him? He's the current reigning, defending, undefeated IBO Welterweight Champion.

    He also holds four - yes, FOUR - of the WBO's non-World championships, including two welterweight titles. Which means he's on the WBO's radar for World championship contention at some point.

    Guess who the WBO World Welterweight Champion is?

    Terence 'Bud' Crawford.

    And before you say "no way" we need to remember who Crawford faced for the IBO Light Welterweight championship. Julius Indongo.

    Indongo also had 2 real titles and it was a full unification at 140. There's a lot of guys you could point to on Crawford's resume to suggest he may take on a lower level guy, but considering the situation he was in, Indongo can't be one of them. Nobody ever mentioned the damn IBO title, it was the IBF and WBA that got Indongo that fight. With that being said, I doubt he fights Formella, I was surprised when I heard he beat Mbenge, who was making some noise down in South Africa

        But Crawford only faced Indongo to unify.

        WBA, WBC and IBF are with two guys that Crawford priced himself out of. Meanwhile he could at least unify two orgs that are already aligned, WBO and IBO, like Joshua. Another undefeated opponent too.

        No, Danny is still the mando last I checked. But Crawford didn't want to fight Danny for the money being asked - too much risk when he just gave damaged Khan that money instead.

            I can’t stop thinking that Sebastian ‘Man Bun’ Formella would be a hilariously awesome nickname if it were real.

              You're obsessed with Crawford. He made a fool of you when he stopped Jeff. I bet you told all your friends that Horn would win and bully Crawford based on that Pac fight. Turns out "you didnt know ****" - Roger Mayweather

                Actually, when Crawford made up a phony hand injury to delay the fight at the last minute and throw off Horn's camp and travel, I knew Horn was going to lose.

                What I didn't expect was to see Crawford get two-pieced, wobbled and dropped by unknown Kavaliauskas.

                I also did not expect a P4P fighter to resort to a low blow to beat Amir Khan after getting touched more than he ever had before.
