Weird. Looks more like a 140er to me, rather than a welter. I thought he'd only move up for a big fight with Thurman or Spence.
He'll Presumably Get a Shot @ Horn in 2018, THEN It'll Be On to Welterweight Unification Bouts... The Boxing PURIST In REED Would Rather Crawford Stay @ '40 a Tad Looooooooooonger, Since he JUST Accumulated All 4 Belts, but if he Feels he CAN'T Make the Weight, So Be It... REED
Well Garcia is even calling out Miguel Cotto for his WBO junior middleweight title, so he can very well easily make 147 lbs and face Crawford.
Regardless. Some how seems unlikely that a guy who retired in order to get out his contract with Arum is now going to arrange a fight with him. But I could be wrong.
I can't blame Crawford. He's in his prime and he wants to get in that welterweight mix. That's where the names are. It looks like Mikey Garcia is headed up there too anyway.
agREED... it's probably better for him as a fighter at 140, but as a guy making a living, 147 is where the dough is
