Terence Crawford- Set to have another BANNER year!

[ykdadamaja]

He has Thomas Dulorme up next for the vacant WBO 140lb title, and if he wins he gets Algieri as his first defence.

Can it get better for Crawford?

After Algieri, if he wins, he can pick and choose who he wants for the money.

1. Danny Garcia
2. Lucas Matthysse
3. Jessie Vargas
4. Lamont Peterson
5. Chris Algieri
6. Ruslan Provodnikov
7. Mike Alvarado
8. Mauricio Herera
9. Adrien Broner
10. Khabib Allakhverdiev
11. Thomas Dulorme
12. Humberto Soto
13. Victor Postal
14. Dierry Jean
15. John Molina
16. Johan Perez

How the hell do TR fighters always get these vacant title shots? The numbers are staggering. I mean take Cotto for instance, he fought a who's who in the sport but up until Foreman every belt he picked up was in a vacancy fight.

I'd bet over 50% of TR fighters title wins come in vacancy fights. Whenever there is a vacancy you can just look around and see who is the biggest name for TR without a belt in the class and you can be sure they will be getting the title against some no hoper.

It's no secret that Arum can get you a title fight... but it comes with certain risk. See Korobov (Arum fighter) vs Andy Lee.

There wasn't really a risk there. Korobov was comfortably winning and coulda woulda shoulda beat Lee. it was only a Hail Mary punch that changed it. That can happen regardless of who promotes you.
Going back to Crawford, if he can step up in weight and have the same effect, we are going to be looking at one of the future superstars of boxing when Floyd and Manny leave the stage.

Well some fighters can only win via ko. There are a few fighters like this, Lee is one. Bermane Stiverne is another. So, some guys really can only win by ko or multiple knockdowns.

Whatever the case Maybe, Crawford seems like a decent guy and an exciting fighter, I hope to see more of him this year.

Everyone likes Crawford, and that list starts at respectable and goes up. I don't see why a fighter can't have a respectable opponent once in a while, especially if he's fighting 2 or 3 times a year.
