According to Lara, since he beat Andrade 8 yrs ago in the amateurs he isn't worth his time now. "Already beat that ass".Why bother fighting again?

That is my point, and I agree with what you are saying psychod. I was just using a little sarcasm.

Crawford wipes the floor with Garcia

don't see anyone beating Crawford at 140. He may become the man after Floyd is gone

This would be a GREAT fight! But, it will never happen. Unless, things go better than well with the HBO/Top Rank-SHO/Haymon promotion on May 2. Crawford rights belong to Top Rank and HBO and Bob Arum hates to split a nickel.

But i'll play ball with the hypothetical. Both guys are Elite, there's no doubt about that. They are in a division with 8 ounce gloves as the norm so ANYONE can get buzzed or dazed in 8 ounce gloves. I don't care who you are, if one gets through the guard, you could drop. Both guys have been hurt but both guys have never lost. It's a boring prediction but with these guys so evenly matched, the winner of this one will be determined in camp. Whoever has the best camp wins that fight IMO.

As underrated as Swift's skillset is, I'd have to give Crawford an edge as far as technical excellence.

The only question is whether Terrance can take punches from men at the bigger weights- no denying Gamboa had him in trouble.

If Crawford's chin is up to the job, he wins.

If not, Garcia.

Good fight this one. I fancy Crawford on points.

Admittedly I've not seen him in action much but I was impressed with his skill set.

Problem is Danny Garcia will come into a Junior welterweight fight like this carrying the weight of a Middleweight (160 lb). While TC will be lucky to re-hydrate to 145 lb on the night.

It's an absolute joke that Garcia & Matthysee are still fighting in the junior welterweight division. Quite easy to get the knockouts when you weigh 10 lb and several weight classes above your opponent.
