Promoter Bob Arum sent out a Tweet on Monday morning that stated he’ll travel to the Philippines next week to come to an agreement on Manny Pacquiao’s next opponent.

Roc Nation Sport's super lightweight prospect Maurice 'Mighty Mo' Hooker is set to return to the ring on Saturday on the Andre Ward-Alexander Brand undercard. Hooker will face Ty Barnett (23-4-1) for the WBO NABO title in the co-featured bout at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif.

You would never have guessed Terence Crawford was supposed to be up against it in the early hours of Sunday morning when he embarked on a quest to unify half of the super lightweight division, live on BoxNation.

Former two division champion Timothy Bradley knows a lot about Manny Pacquiao and Terence Crawford. Bradley is only one of three fighters to face Pacquiao in the ring on three occasions. He won a controversial decision over Pacquiao in 2012, and the Filipino star dominated the 2014 rematch and then dropped Bradley twice to power himself to victory in April's trilogy fight.

WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman was in Las Vegas Saturday for the Terence Crawford-Viktor Postol super lightweight unification clash. After a close first three rounds, Crawford (29-0, 20KOs) dominated the fight, dropping Postol twice in route to a dominant points victory.

Freddie Roach had an excellent vantage point as Terence Crawford easily out-pointed his man Viktor Postol this past weekend at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to unify the WBC and WBO junior welterweight belts. There is now talk of matching Crawford with Manny Pacquiao, who is scheduled to resume his career on November 5th.

American trainer Rick Staheli who handled Manny Pacquiao when he won his first world title – the World Boxing Council flyweight crown with a spectacular 8th round knockout of Thai hero Chatchai Sasakul in December 1998 - has warned the Filipino superstar to “stay away from (Terrence) Crawford” who last weekend dominated Viktor Postol to win a twelve round unanimous decision after dropping Postol, who is trained by Freddie Roach, twice in the 5th round.

Call him champ and mean it. In two consecutive divisions, without a clear world champion to be found, Terence Crawford has entered the ring widely regarded as the best or next best man in his class. At lightweight, he faced Ray Beltran when they were rated by TBRB, Ring, and ESPN as the top two at 135. Saturday, he faced Viktor Postol when all three of those bodies, along with Boxing Monthly and even the sometimes-odd ratings at BoxRec, were in agreement.

Abel Sanchez, trainer of WBA/IBO/WBC/IBF middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and several other fighters, would like to see Terence Crawford move up in weight to battle with WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia.
