    Matthysse struggled against Ojose, struggled against Danny and struggled against Molina.

    You need to watch them fights again :rofl Poor ajose & Molina...even Garcia.

    Matthysse would have Crawford out in 6 rounds or less.

    Harsh for you to even suggest Matthysse Crawford...let Crawford do his own thing.

    No, I don't need to watch Matthysee get knocked down 3 times in his last two fights again. His chin is gone, Garcia cracked it for good

    Give him a fight to acclimate to 140 first, then see if he's ready for Matthysse.

    DKSAB if you think Crawford could beat Matthysse at this point in time. Lots of better opponents he could build up on. Don't become a manager or matchmaker any time soon ok?

    if Crawford can still make weight, he should stay at 135 to unify and get some more experience at world level. no need in rushing things otherwise the wheels come off too soon for a young fighter.

    there are still some good fights for him at 135.

    I like that fight.....but not right away....he needs to take on a less dangerous foe if he decides to move north and test the waters. If Gamboa was able to hurt him it might not be a wise decision to jump up in weight and tangle with a guy like Lucas. It's ambitious with a lot of risk involved. He has the luxury to take his time after this win.. So no need to jump right in with a killer like Mathyesse.

    PAC vs Crawford is a more viable option..at 140

    TC might be in the mix to land a shot at PAC. He's low risk and his stock is at an all time high... His handlers might want to think twice if they are worried about the longevity of their fighters career... The rewards for Terrence from a financial standpoint might see them just go ahead and push for a fight with Manny even though it's a fight that could shorten the length of his career. Losing to PAC wouldn't hurt his stock but depending on how prolonged his beating is it might be counter productive.

    TC is a rangy fighter and if can keep Manny on the outside, he can win.

    TC shouldn't have thanked God. It was the perfect time to call out PAC and fight at a catch weighr

    That is why they'll keep him at 135.

    I'd like to see Broner get back down to 135 and have a tilt at Crawford.

    If I was him I'd stay at 135 pavlik was on his way to be goat until he went north of 160 his power didn't follow him, and he was no where as good as people thought he was

    Yes, Crawford vs a guy that struggles horribly with jabbers, has a cracked chin and just went life and death with a b class 135 pound fighter is a bad matchup. Stick to Fight Night

    Think Crawford would have a good chance of winning but man he leaves himself wide open once he starts throwing big shots, that could be disastrous against a big puncher
