    Would any of you buy PPV to see Danny Garcia vs Terrence Crawford. Both these men are undefeated, both 27 yrs of age, both in their prime, and have styles that would make a good entertaining fight.

    No, Garcia isn't undefeated, first of all. Theophane and Herrera should be losses. Crawford is an awful stylistic match-up. If this were to take place, just give Crawford the win. No need to watch that fight.

    Technically speaking his record still has that 0 so he is still undefeated. I watched a interview where Garcia said they fought twice in the amateurs. They each one a match. I think as professionals them meeting now could be a classic.

    There are only a small handful of PPV worthy fights on paper, if that many.

    Crawford nor Garcia would be involved in any of them.

    Crawford could beat today's floyd, believe that. He could be a decent PPV fighter if he developed more of a character. His speed would fuk up the slowing floyd down. You don't see Floyd fight guys like this though, last one was super bum zab judah, and crawford is twice the fighter he was and much, much meaner.

    Mayweather would make Crawford look a fool.... its a 9-3 fight at worst for Floyd.

    I will, and Ill keep making money on it too, like every other Mayweather fight. :good Crawfords fast becoming the next overrated fighter. Nothing wrong with that, boxing lives off of hype... but hype is almost always ripe for the picking.

    Garcia and him are the same size and age. It's a good test for both fighters.

    It's a more competitive fight than May-Pac would be, simply based on the fact that Crawford has more tools available than Pac.

    He's fought Prescott, Beltran and Dulorme. Prescott consistently fought at JWW, Beltran's freaking huge for a LW, and Dulorme has campaigned regularly at WW. The perception that he's been picking on smaller men is ill-conceived, at best.

    Doesn't matter.

    The perception that Crawford has faced smaller men on a consistent basis is incorrect.

    None of the fighters mentioned are elite...But, Beltran was a highly rated contender, and Dulorme had a couple of wins over fringe contenders in Mayfield and Lundy. Prescott will always have the KO1 win over Khan.

    So they're all legitimate in their own way and they were all relatively big for their weight. Crawford beat them all, so to say that he's been feeding on smaller fighters is inaccurate.

    Floyd schools Crawford, really terrible match up for him. Bigger, more skilled, faster, more experienced how does Crawford win? I don't think it'd be even 9-3, I think it'd be wider. Possibly a shutout (most will disagree).
