Next for Crawford ...

[gregregegg]

If craw played it perfectly he could probably get a belt at 135, 140, 147, 154, 160, 168, 175, 200lb…

That would be goat level shit.

Has to get Badu jack for cruiser now I think cause I don’t think a weak belt like that will last long and I think at cruiser he would need a weak belt…

160 is a good weight for him. Be strong favorite to pick up a belt there if he wants.

175 could go for glory with Bivol or could wait for a weaker oppertunity…

If I were him that would be my 3 fight plan. Badu, 160 belt, 175 belt, retire.

If somehow 45 year old pulev still has a fake trinket then add in Pulev for the WBA “world title” (regular)

I don't think he could do Badou, and then drop back down to 160. That being said I don't think he would necessarily need to come all the way up to 200 pounds to take on Badou Jack either. He could easily beat him weighing 179 pounds I think.

Like someone else said though. The Badou Jack thing is a neat accomplishment for us Boxing nerds, but is there really any money in that matchup? Probably not.

Bivol, Canelo 2, or David Benavidez would be the money fights.

That being said even going for a belt at 160 or Badou Jack would be much bigger now obviously than it would've been prior to his beating Canelo.

I think Crawford is going to want Maximum money for any fight over 160 pounds because he's fighting at a major size disadvantage every time out, and each fight he's able to make that work is a small miracle.

Fight Usyk at Cruiser. Win and be declared the best boxer in the history of the game.

God wouldn't it be unreal if they actually made a matchup like that? In the modern Boxing world with Shieky Baby's money. Hell I don't know. The sky's the limit

I know you were just kidding, but hell 5 years ago I would've thought you were joking if you said Crawford was gonna go beat Canelo at Super Middle, but by God he did it.

I think Usyk would take it, not sure about Bud. Completely insane idea, but in the modern boxing landscape, who knows.

On the Sheiky Baby reference.

David Benavidez should fight for Crawford at 175, problem is there's no strap on the line
However, in Crawford's case and Benavidez too, it could be a decent payday and light things up in a division with Bivol and Beterbiev
Not like Benavidez or Crawford are overly familiar with boxing at the weight, it's new territory for Crawford and Benavidez has just arrived there
Might be a slower version of Mayweather v Corrales

I'd say, target the Lara fight. If Crawford is indeed motivated by conquering Middleweight division - go get the Lara belt. Especially, given that Janibek reached an agreement (at least, a verbal one) to fight Adames in WBC/IBF/WBO unification.

[Evander]

See what happens after Benavidez v Yarde

[Ruthless-RKO]

News coming soon.

He gifted Turki his gloves from the night and had conversations.

[Bobbyptsd]

This thread has reached levels of retardation that shouldn't be possible.
Crawford beats a clearly declining Alvarez by moving and boxing on points and suddenly he has a shot at being the greatest fighter of all time after beating Benavidez or Usyk or hey why stop there why not have Fury come out of retirement, maybe he could fight all three on the same night?
Everything has to be stupid all the time here.

I'm pretty sure we were all just having a laugh with the Usyk thing.

Any of the other suggestions like a potential Benavidez match, or an attempt at a Middleweight title are very much in the realm of possibility.

People do tend to get a little excited, and carried away a little when a fighter accomplishes a major feat these days, and that was no different here, but Crawford's win over Canelo was indeed a major major feat.

It made Crawford the 1st man to have ever achieved what he achieved there. Certainly worth making a big deal out of. People will be able to assess it more properly as time goes on. That's always how it is.

TC ain't going up to Heavyweight anytime soon

What is the hardest fight for Terence Crawford ?

A fight he would go in 50/50 or an underdog ?

Bivol at 175

About a year and half a way if possible

Recent historical example Bernard Hopkins

Bivol would definitely be the hardest I think.

Benavidez at 175 or Boots Ennis at maybe 160 would probably be the other most intriguing possible bouts.
