    I think Josh probably should stay at 140 and defend if he can - at least once. Thing is, I think Josh is a real genuine 'throwback' and he wants to push himself as far as he can go - even if that means hitting his ceiling and taking a loss. I think the reason he went with Top Rank after Cyclone was very very simple:-

    Ramirez > > Crawford

    If Josh does go up and try for glory at 147, I'm not going to criticize him, win lose or draw, it's refreshing to see someone give zero ****s about their 0; or at least be so confident that the zero doesn't enter into their thinking.

    There really is no rush or obligation to go straight after Crawford.i mean he would be doing Crawford a favour.if however he is committed to going up have a fight at the weight first.

    100% Agreed. Not having at least one 'acclimitisation' fight at 147 would be foolhardy IMO.

    I feel like he'll stand by his word and come back to the UK and defend against Catteral
