I like Crawford but I don like this. I think Crawford is really good but he hasn't exactly proven it at 135 let alone 140. I don't want to see him a 2 division champ having proven little in both. It's the Broner blueprint
I think the difference is that Crawford is the real deal! It's a good introduction to the division and possibly even for the title , win win.
I think Crawford could become one of the stars of the sport when Floyd and Manny are gone, and I don't think Algieri will cause him too many problems.
However, further down the line Matthysse or Provodnikov could seriously test what he's about.
