    Crawford goes life and death with a past prime, tiny framed, chin-in-the-air Gamboa, and Gamboa buzzed him so many times before Gamboa got KO'd.
    Crawford was in a very close fight with Ricky Burns for the first 6-7 rounds and then Crawford went on to get the decison.


    Why is he fighting a sparring partner (Hank Lundy)?
    Who is Dulorme and Jean? Crawford is USA's next hope. He should be a welterweight.

    GGG > Crawford.

    The Ricky Burns fight was not close for 6-7 rounds. Crawford completely outclassed him

    He should have fought Postol if Postol wanted that work. Hank Lundy has never been in a bad fight but Crawford should most def step it up if he wants to start making more money and getting more fans.

    After the Postol fight whats left at 140 for Crawford without Al Haymon?:huh

    GGG will "NEVER" and I mean "NEEEEEEVVER" fight Canelo. So what will he do at 160?:huh

    Ricky Burns wasn't just coming off a loss when Crawford beat him, a loss that was transformed into a robbery draw on the judges scorecards, but in his fight prior to that loss he was getting his ass paddled something rotten for 9 rounds by Jose A Gonzalez and he was 3 pts down on all the judges cards and well on his way to losing until Gonzalez retired in his corner after suffering a freak wrist injury. Burns also lost his next after Crawford beat him too. Burns is a gritty tough fighter and a real gentleman but truth be told he was done by the time Crawford got to him.

    He ducked Postol and Pacquiao. He's a bit of a protected fighter.

    Provodnikov
    Matthysse
    Herrera
    Troyvanosvsky
    Benavidez
    Orozco
    Imam
    Granados (might not be with Gaymon; I don't know)

    Gaymon doesn't have anyone at 140 lbs. in the top 10 anymore other than Broner.

    Peterson and Garcia both moved up. At least, I think Peterson moved up since he's fighting Berto coming up.

    Why would anyone duck Pacquiao?:patsch
    He wanted that fight for the high profile and the payday.

    These 2 are no longer welcomed on HBO BAD. They turned there backs on them at that station. The others on the list Crawford should tear through them and try to unify something.

    He didn't want the work. It was a possible loss waiting to happen. Just like Danny Garcia never really wanted to fight Mayweather.

    Pacquiao would've most likely beaten him. I think even this version of Pacquiao would've gave him a loss.

    Matthysse is fighting Herrera on the undercard of Canelo/Khan, which is on.... HBO PPV, dummy.

    And no, Crawford isn't that good that he tears through any of those guys. He likely loses to Postol. Troyvansovky might be a 50-50. I'm not so sure.

    :good
    Pac-Man is still a beast to the non elite. They see him with Marquez and Mayweather and think they can do it. They forget that all these guys have over 20 years of fight experience.

    If you truly want to experience someone devouring bums nonstop and on PPV, then enjoy watching more of GGG's fights and highlights.

    A fan of both here. People use these "tomato can" and "bum" phrases too easily. Last tomato can GGG fought was Fuchigami who was a late replacement for Pirog and that was 4 years ago, and Crawford is establishing himself in a new division, he'll start taking over 140 soon. At this stage, Lundy isn't a bad fight at all.

    So you're saying that the guys GGG exploded into the arena against as a 100-1 and 50-1 favorite were top notch?. :lol:
