    No way could he ever come close to losing to Bradley, Garcia not confident either. TC is a HUGE jww, he comes in as a ww fight weight, more than fmj or Pac ever had come in.

    He's not 5'6"/7" like them either. He should fight that Igndo(sp?!?) Ww is a very very tough division atm. Spence, brook, Thurman are the big 3. Even DG, Khan are decent to big fights.

    Then we also have the porter and broner types that keep sticking around. Good division especially adding TC and the African, **** it add em all in

    Yes it's weight classes but other things come in to play when stacking up against the better fighters. The Gamboa fight still haunts me with TC, if he could get caught and legitimately hurt what was that about. How tough is it to make 140, he should be fighting 47 if you fight nights close to 60.

    Height and reach play more of a factor than weight alone. That is the reason lots of us include height and reach when we consider ones size

    Crawford should def unify before moving to 147.

    If Crawford power doesn't carry to 147 he may have problems at that division

    I missed it. Went to bed to watch Netflix immediately after. I'm glad.

    I wasn't implying he's ducking or cherry picking, fyi.

    1. I wasn't referring to weight.
    2. Diaz isn't dominating his division.

    Spence would be too big, so would brooke, porter would wrestle the hell out of him and PAC would be too sharp. He beats slow Thurman and Garcia.

    He looks great cos of his opponents, he didn't look all that great vs
    Gamboa.

    A fight to make is him vs Mikey Garcia, they're both same size. Mikey just dehydrating his ass and they were both at 135 barely making weight.

    Unify then move up. 140 is too easy for him. At least by next year.

    Who exactly is he going to fight at 147 if he moves up? The only logical fight is Pac, Haymon has all the 147 fighters.

    Garcia, Mathysee, Broner.

    Lots of solid names round there to give him a solid legacy before he heads N into more dangerous territory.

    I think he's a threat to the entire 147lb division. He reminds me of a younger Hearns. I'd like to see him unif than take on Garcia. I think he toys with him personally. After that he can get right in the mix for a title.
