    With Crawford and Lomachenko moving up another weight division this year who do you think has better list of potential opponents in their hit list?

    Crawford: Spence, Thurman, Porter, D Garcia
    Lomachenko: Berchelt, Linares, M Garcia, Easter

    Tough one to call. If they both actually beat them it'll be very hard to decide who's better. Bob Arum is really lucky to have 2 of the best fighters in his stable right now.

    Crawford does but that is only of Arum is willing to play ball with Haymon and PBC.

    I’d say Crawford.. Keith, Spence, Horn, Pac, Porter, D Garcia, Brook/Khan future winner may also get a shot at world level again

    And that’s without people moving up into 147!

    I personally think Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia will just become those that you 'fight before you fight for a world title' and 'fight for a simple mandatory defense' guys who end up having like 7 or 8 losses at the end of their career. Garcia hasn't shown anything special and hasn't really had any dominant wins. And shawn porter is just a brawler who you'd call the 'weaker one'.

    I think lomachenko's future opponents that you mentioned will end up being better in time. Beating Linares and Mikey Garcia for lomachenko I think are slightly better wins to have on your record than crawford beating spence and thurman. I still think crawford beating spence is the biggest win of them all, but I don't think beating thurman is better than beating Mikey and Jorge. And don't forget, there's Gervonta Davis for Loma as well. That could be viewed by the media as the career defining fight for lomachenko. He should dominate him and the media will go mad over it due to the links with Floyd.
