Terence Crawford- Set to have another BANNER year!

[walrus]

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.

[p4pking]

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?

[La Cucaracha]

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

[Spicoli]

This kid is an enormous breath of fresh air. He did his time and grabbed opportunity as a sub to get air time. Crawford blew the doors off the huge hometown crowd and is beginning to show top versatility in styles. I think they have to do him better than a mentioned Algieri match and frankly its a step sideways if a step at all I believe.

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.

Mikey Garcia has suggested he will return at 140 so that fight is still a possibility

Quite possible. Because he was having TREMENDOUS problems making 130. To the point that he may as well had fought at 140.

TC must be a nice guy. Can't figure why I forgot about him, till this thread. Just amazing: a guy who actually does his talking with fists and not his mouth, go figure...

Of course there is more at 140. That is my point, why mention someone completely average like Algieri? I know, both are TR but what is the point to fighting Algieri when there are better fighters there?

Well, to be fair, Algieri DID beat Provodnikov... and even though he got thrashed by Pac, he is still ranked. Just because we don't feel he was worth squat doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a shot or a chance or to be ranked.

I think Crawford might be overrated. I haven't seen him fight much, though. He's seems too big for lightweight, He doesn't seem to be able to throw his left with any power.
