    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 like him to, didn't know about these fights lined up. Can't see Dulorme or Algeri winning, but they are both good rangey boxers and bigger guys than Crawford has been fighting. Then again, Crawford just looks huge as a lightweight and should carry good power up at least this far. Will be interesting to see if he can stop these guys.

    Crawford to me is the Danny Garcia equivalent to the Black population- FAMILY FRIENDLY BOXER!

    Crawford can be that dude. There are four types of fighters with their mystique and angle that can be marketed, I reckon:

    1. The hard-nosed, hard type fighters- like Froch, Ward, Bika, Stevenson, etc...

    2. The flashy, high profile, elitist like fighters like- Mayweather, Manny Pac, Broner, Bute, etc...

    3. The workman like guys- like Rigondeaux, Andre Dirrell, Jacobs, GGG, etc....

    4. Then there are the "family friendly" types of fighters- CRAWFORD, Danny Garcia, JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR. (yes, he is loved in Mexico and it has transcended), Eubank Jr. and Wlad Klit... even though Wlad waivers between hard nosed, high profile and family friendly. But, Wlad, for the most part, is family friendly and family TV.

    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?

    Don't expect to see Crawford fight any of Haymon's guys unless he ditches uncle Bob more than likely after Algieri we'll get Vargas. If the Golden Boy-Top Rank relationship continues to improve then the winner of Matthysse-Provodnikov would be the ticket

    140 has more competition for him... and if he stays at 135, what else is there for him to do? He already beat Gamboa to a pulp. Should he wait for Mikey Garcia? A fight that may not happen? I don't know.... 140, for him, if he wants money and if he wants to be great- taking into consideration if Danny Garcia stays- then he has the world in front of him.
