    Its clear Crawford is the top dog and has a good chance of being undisputed, but two upcoming fighters have caught my eye, the first is Lipinets who most of you guys will know as he has fought some decent names and recently iced Zappavigna. The seconf is less known but seems to be a very well rounded fighter called Regis Prograis, south paw good power and jab Ive been impressed with his two fights.

    You guys see these two giving Crawford any problems?

    Obviously Crawford is a big favourite against any 140 lb, but I'd give Lipinets a bit of a chance. He's got good power and a good chin and the boxing ability to make it interesting.

    Don't know enough about Prograis to comment.

    Those two unknowns haven't done anything to remotely suggest they are up for Bud.

    Yeah Lipinets would be a worthy contender at some point. And He really put a pasting on zappa and that fight is what sold me on him.

    Probably the weakest division in boxing

    Crawford clear number 1
    Lipinets probably the 2nd best
    Postol still good even though he's boring as ****
    Rellikh is decent should have got the decision versus Burns

    apart from that they are all poor fighters! awful division

    I think the Mcguigans should totally fast track Josh Taylor it's that weak a division..

    Yeah, good.
    140 is a decent division with more stacked talent than 160. Of course, Crawford will probably move to the more lucrative 147 soon.

    Check out prograis bro, would like to see what you think about him if you get the chance. Yeah he's being fast tracked and seems to be passing all his tests so far, if I were him I would target Burns.

    I don't think they beat Crawford but before are still prospects so this is more based on how you think they could do in the future according to the eye test.

    There both not great in depth when it comes to quality in the division although 160 has more talent than 140 for sure.

    What's BLM? You completely lost me there.

    Funny how prior to the Crawford fight you cats were screaming about how great Postol was.
    I suppose this is what they mean by, Fair-weather fans.

    Crawford owns the 140 division and not only is he a better champ than Golovkin, but he will soon move to 147, like real great champs do.
