In saying that Id like to see a few fights at Lightweight 1st. Figueroa and Lundy are good fights that would be fun to watch. Abril and Bogere would also be decent fights. If he fancies crossing the pond again theres Mitchell and Flanagan but both would be easy fights for Crawford. Vazquez would be the biggest test and it would be good if that fight could be made. Vasquez last fight was in Macau on a top rank card so I dont see why it wouldnt be possible?
There aren't many fights at 160 for GG...he claimed he'll fight ANYBODY from 154 to 168...he kept his word on the 154 part.
He's 32 y/o with over 300 amateur fights....he doesn't have time to wallow in a division where he is the HEAVY favorite against all those dead no-hopers.
The time is now for old dude to "challenge himself" and "take some risks".
Mikey is nobody to avoid.
GG said himself he'd fight anybody from 154 to 168...he kept his bargain as far as the smaller guys are concerned.

Oh wait you hate ever fighter whose foreign or not African American.
Beltran ;) Lundy :) Cherry or the guy who just beat Burns :confused:

I didn't even think of Vazquez. Beltran would be very doable and frankly deserved. Hopefully he'll defend at 135 as the less division jumping the better, though with Crawford he already has the frame to be a solid jr. welter. Lundys a good pick too as he's just come down and looked very solid doing it. Still have DeMarco but not sure if he has moved up yet. He'll def take a 'let it marinade' type fight at home while plotting bigger clashes. Beltran would fight him in Omaha or his living room. Personally hopes its not a Juan Diaz but wouldn't rule it out. Baby Bull is a good guy but style wise and wear & tear logged I can only see a bad drubbing on him.
That crowd he pulled was very impressive and he basically marked himself a local franchise. It sounded like Arum was initially hesitant to bill it there and it took Crawford insisting or putting his foot down. It appears and you can only hope he conducts his future business with Scare'um Arum with the same assertiveness he displayed in the ring Saturday night. It speaks well of a young champion.Quote:

No need to start making excuses...especially since he's supposed to be all that.
Crawford would be around the same size as the guys at 140 BUT he has ZERO experience fighting 140lb fighters.
Ya'll should hold GG to the same standards Broner and Floyd are held to.
LW is about the same as MW.Quote:

There is nothing at 160 for GG since Sergio was executed.Quote:

He'd be HEAVILLY favored over anybody in that dead excuse for a weight division...in other words THERE ARE NO CHALLENGES FOR HIM at 160.
Seems like he should be "challenging himself" and "taking risks".
GG was quick to move to 168 for Jr but told Ward he had too much business to take of at 160.
It was a bitch move that he should have been called out for.
You're such a clown. You were silent for a week after Russell got schooled and waited for Crawford to win and came back the same. You shouldn't be taking Broner as a role model. You dont know shit about boxing.Quote:

I'm not a fan of cyclone either but it's a bad look when you don't disagree with what he said but instead make a personal attack.
If GGG is willing to move to 168 for Chavez he should be willing to go there for Ward. If money is the difference the cleaning out 160(which he hasn't done) reasoning should stop being used.
I'll take this further, 160 didn't need cleaning out. It's been a wasteland for more than a decade.
Its not the main difference. This is the main difference, who does GGG fight at 168 where he will get a huge payday? Ward? Unlikely to get 7 figs to fight Ward and even at that Ward will call all the shots, venue, ref, weight etc.Quote:

Russell got schooled by Lomenchenko....not Lopez...;D;D
Get off his coattails.
I don't have to wait for anything or anybody..unlike you mexicans...ya'll damn near out of boxing.
