    You could try (though I'd make sure that your spleen is extracted via your wide mouth).

    Accumulation, Diaz cuts off the ring very well, brings non-stop pressure, his chin is pretty impressive, great defensive head movements since Diaz is a southpaw, Bud can't rely on that trick, because Diaz feasts on southpaws, he's like a Welterweight mini-tank version of Gamboa, who shook up Crawford on more than one occasion, body shots could do it, right hook could do it, we know Crawford doesn't have a great chin, it might be early if he catches him unaware.

    Make no mistake both Terence and Mikey are in deep with Dejan and Felix, there's no guarantee either of them leave the ring undefeated.


    Felix has these guys on his resume, Vasquez is no pushover he's beaten common opponents with Spence and Postol far more impressively than they did, he beat Granados down and dropped him twice, something The Young Master couldn't accomplish, since he got KO'd by him, he dominated Peterson for 9 rounds, it was one of the biggest robberies of 2015, and beat Bracero decisively, almost stopping him late. His resume is actually almost as good as Crawford's.

    Crawford diserve all the respect for fighting tough guys. Plus he is humble. Crawford is one of the few guys I don't want to miss his fight.

    Another weak ass opponent. Just like Pacquiao's x sparring partners. Diery Jean and Beltran.

    BUMBOA wtf happen to this glass jawed bum?


    STOP it making it sound like giving pederson a tough 9 rounds is impressive. Pederson is a joke and for him to go 12 rounds says it all.

    I haven't seen Bud get much stick for his record to be honest. Postol may have been a little over-hyped before the fight - it's possible and his future career will confirm or deny - but he was without question the #2 in the division, so he's fought the best available to him no doubt. Outside of that, he's a good list of solid fighters and some good fighters too. Crawford is a good potentially great fighter so I plan on just enjoying him while he's around

    I think orozco or Troyanovsky might've been stiffer tests. It's a good fight for TC doe.

    Diaz is a good figher I like this match up better than the Orozco one. It will be interesting to see who ends up being Crawford's opponent for that date. Feels like it ends up being Orozco but we'll see.

    Well let's talk about that.

    1. Pacquiao is semi-shot and has just beaten an ELITE fighter in Bradley, after having a career full of fights against great fighters.

    2. Bradley is elite but IMO he isn't as good as Crawford. Crawford is someone who looks like he's a future star and Crawford is P4P No.5 or something - definitely undeserved of that if we base it on opposition alone. Bradley looks like he's on the way down.

    3. Lomachenko is two-weight world champion in his 7th pro fight and is up against the elite Walters. There's no competition there.

    4. GGG has been ducked by the three successive lineal middleweight champions, and ALL of the belt holders other than Lemieux who just had it once.

    5. Crawford is not getting huge props from me for beating a Lightweight version of Gamboa, especially with Crawford being far too big for the weight class. Postol is a very good win, Felix Diaz is a brilliant opponent - I had him beating Peterson 116-112.

    Crawford is one of my favourite fighters today and I want him to go for Pacquiao next.

    Nah, will never happen.

    By the time Loma gets to 140, Crawford will already be at 147
