    If Crawford wins this Saturday, what's next for him? IMO, he should move up to 140 and fight for the vacant WBO title. It sucks that he can't fight the WBA/WBC champion Danny Garcia, or the IBF champion Lamont Peterson, since both of them are with Golden Boy.

    I'm not sure he gets past Beltran, and the Cold War is over so they can fight each other, and as much as I hate to say it Danny Garcia would probably KO Crawford.

    Top Rank and Golden Boy are doing business again. It's Al Haymon that has burned bridges w/ Arum and HBO.

    Anyway, Crawford will most likely move up. And I can see him becoming a champ in a second weight division. Terence Crawford clearly has a bright career ahead of him.

    Danny Garcia can't fight movers, he's too flat-footed. Crawford would outbox him.

    Though, that fight could be a stinker, since both are counter-punchers.

    I think Herrera would beat Crawford as well, people are getting a little too worked up about Crawford, Klimov wasn't great, Gamboa has looked bad for years, and Burns was beaten by Beltran and robbed and then by Zlaticanin.

    Danny Garcia can be easily outboxed. He was getting outboxed by ancient Morales, Khan, and Herrera.

    I agree:good but I didn't say he would win on points, he'd win by KO after being outboxed for a few rounds.

    He could fight the winner of Bey-Shafikov in a unification match.

    Or Figueroa for the WBC strap.

    Why do fans always want guys to move up? If Crawford can make 135 comfortably, he should stay and try to rule the division.

    Right, and then there's Lundy, Vasquez, and Linares. All good fights.

    Crawford-Figueroa would probably be like Mayweather-Gatti.

    Crawford would destroy Bey.
