    It was gonna be shot Collazo before this easy fight with Khan, was made, it's rumoured to be shot Brook next, he wants shot Pacman. It looks like he's gonna keep choosing the easy fights.

    When the hell is he gonna step up and face the best welterweights?

    Horn, Benavidez Jr and Khan are all good wins for someone moving up into their 3rd weight category. We rarely see this kind of domination from fighters moving up through the divisions, every rational fan should be able to appreciate that.

    Crawford cleaned out 140, and holds wins over Horn, Postol, and Diaz.

    He doesn't fight bums, he just makes his opponents look like bums.

    Who? Who do you want him to fight next??? Before you name them make sure you leave out all the PBC fighters, Leonard Ellerbe has just come out and admitted every single PBC Welterweight has no interest in facing Crawford they put him at the back of the queue and are going to duck him until there is nobody else left to fight.

    Hey, sounds a bit like the Joshua Wilder situation, Hey, again, sounds a bit like the Loma Garcia situation. Hey, its always the PBC.

    Loma has moved up three divisions and has fought better competition in only 13 fights compared to what 34 fights.

    No bums, but not world beaters,, Horn was coming off a victory against an old shot Pacman, besides from that Horn had only beaten Randall Baily as a name of note,, Postol only victory of note was against an already beaten lucas matthysse,, The comp has hardly been the best,, But its not his fault,, If you can't get the top guys like Mikey Garcia, Danny Garcia, Errol Spence, Shawn Porter, Keith Thurman etc.. to step in the ring what are you gonna do fight who's left! For instance you had Crawford vs Benedivez Jr which was a close bout until the leg injury,, Then in contrast you have what a P4P is supposed to do in Lemenchko totally dominating his oppenent in every way before stopping him in Crolla,,

    I would favor Crawford over all the guys you listed, with the possible exception of Spence.

    You know from the eye test I would have to agree man, Crawford has all the right stuff,, just needs the name on his record! Not Gumboa who was overrated from the start and moved up from feather weight where i was already getting stunned in every fight,, I'd like to see Danny Garcia vs Crawford great fight for Crawford where he can test the water against one of the safer names,, After all Amir Khan was dominating Danny before the knockout,,

    You know people are never happy... If he cracks Khan's glass jaw really quick, everyone would say that the fight with Khan was a cherry pick too.

    Yes, but his résumé isn't exactly Sam Langford is it?

    Also his record at 147 is appalling, Horn, Khan and Benavidez. If he fights Brook, that's a blatant cherry pick, a weight drained non champ at 154, he should unify.

    Wrong. Horn was a guy that should have lost ti an old Pacman by either TKO or clear decision. Benevidez was coming off of a layoff, and his knee was destroyed by a gunshot. He was no top welter, and neither is Khan.

    Yeah, but that's because those fighters are with top rank where all the 147lbs's are with PBC. The bull**** between networks and promotions trying to monopolise is why a lot of fights don't happen unless it's a big ppv where they can make money. Why have a guy fight a high risk no money fight that hurts your promotion and network deal whilst helping your competitor, that's the mind state of these promoters so don't blame the fighters.
