    Lets face it not much left at 135 for Crawford

    IF Crawfords team really wants to turn him into a star he needs big fights & to beat named boxers

    Gb/TR are looking to make a good fight together to end the ColdWar

    Matthysse is a NAME, & a winnable bout for Terrance

    Who wins this 140?

    Crawford vs Algieri or Provodnikov, that's more realistic....

    War Crawford!!!

    Matthysse would steamroll Crawford at this stage imo.

    He did a good job last night but to be fair he was in with a very skilled but much smaller fighter with 2 fights in 2 years.

    When he does move up he should have a fight against a winnable opponent instead of jumping straight in with the number 2 in the division in Lucas Matthysse.

    I think a Provodnikov fight would be a good choice for him, Provodnikov can be outboxed, fights on the same network, is a fairly big name etc.

    Crawford should fight Vazquez for the lineal LW championship.

    Hahahahaha...
    At trying to match-up Crawford against a killer because he spanked Gamboa's ass.

    Vs. Vasquez or Figueroa make 1000xs more sense than those fights.
    (Al Haymon tho...)

    TC would kick Matthysse's ass and knock him out.
