Before that I'd have loved to see T.C vs M. Garcia at 140 lbs but it is what it is.

Will Top Rank and ESPN pay the type of purses that the PBC guys expect in order to match them up against Terence Crawford?

If not, then we may have to wait a while before he engages in a decent fight (unless you call a potential bout against a past-his-prime version of Pacquiao as being "decent").

We'll see. I can't imagine anyone will be rushing to fight him. I guess Jesse Vargas will be the first ass whipping.

Opens 140 wide. No wonder there has been a Postol sighting.

Crawford will be the boss at 147, hes got everything he needs (skills wise) to become the main man in boxing IMO

I agree that TC is "something special", but I would never underrate Spence. Anyway, I think it would be 50/50 type of fight.
I think that TC would beat Brook, Khan and D. Garcia easily. I have no idea for Thurman - one day I think it might be easy win for TC, another day I
think differently.

Probably, but to me welter is clearly the better division, historically and currently. They certainly won't be fighting him when he's not in their division

Yes, Thurman #1 at ww. I'd have Joshua top 25, no other heavy in the top 100.

As far as talent and skill Heavyweights are crap right now, and have been pretty much the entire time I've been watching.

There's only been a few P4P Type talents in the Heavyweight division in all the years I've been following the sport, and none of 'em would've been Top 5 P4P at any point.
