Terence Crawford- Set to have another BANNER year!

[Ron Swanson]

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.

And we are expected to. I see him doing three fights this year with Dulorme included... and I think he can beat Algieri if he gets past Dulorme.

Then fights can be made for him. He has to show up.

Terence Crawford is a quality fighter and should become a superstar.

I like Nicholas Walters too.

I'd like to see him do better than Algieri. I consider Agieri a completely average fighter. If that will be Crawfords level at 140 he might as well stay at 135 where he can be great. Or is GGG the only fighter allowed to hang out in a division with no challengers?
