Should Crawford go to 160?

Nah, not really. Turki could make it happen if he really wanted to but I very much doubt Crawford would agree to it

Kazakhstan is more feasible

I wanted Crawford to give Madrimov a rematch in Uzbekistan because he brought his belt to Crawford when Crawford was the challenger and fought him on a stacked deck of a home ref, 2 home judges, and 1 neutral and they treat Crawford very well when he was invited to a boxing event over there not that long ago

Thing is Crawford at 168 is likely heavier than Janibek at 160 but I hear Janibek is a big boy and he could easily move up to 168 and be big there. But the problem is if they fought at 168 Janibek has nothing to offer him belt wise

But that would be a really dangerous fight for Crawford, much more so than that version of Clenelo, Janibek is still young, prime, fresh, sharp, hungry, has excellent skills, a nasty punch, slickness, and uncanny accuracy

If Crawford beat Janibek fair and square that would impress me a lot more than him beating that version of Clenelo.

 

I think Janibek is a top 10 P4P in terms of skills and talent but as with Super Boots I can't afford him a top 10 ranking because of his level of opposition. MW is a graveyard division right now sans possibly a few prospects and contenders I'm not familiar with

N'Dam, Brant, maybe his last opponent. Not sure really his resume is very weak

 

Janibek is the two-belt unified king at 160 and Crawford said he might go down to 160. He can't move down there and not knock on the king's door. He could cherrypick Lara's 400 y/o ghost or Adames but if he wants to become undisputed down there he has no choice but to step to that Eurasian heat and even if he just tried to pick up a belt off one of the 2 weaker champs and avoids the king everyone will know he didn't want smoke with that Eurasian heat
