Too many good fights in boxing happening this year. I don't feel worthy lmao! Fukin great!
Crawford, Loma, Rigo, Mikey, Thurman out here fighting everyone
Same old, same old random story by the media. They're always one-sided. Nothing from the Spence or Thurman side. Nothing from their promoters.
The UK media is more dynamic. You call out some fighter's name and the response is swift. Which make fights more possible than in the US where stories like these are categorized as mere gossip.
That's why there's a great need for an alternative media where it can influence fights getting made. Like in this case the next step is to get Spence's response. Then Arum, what's blocking fights from happening. At least fans know what's causing problems.
Crawfords looked good so far, real good, but theres a huge ****ing difference between fighting them clowns at 140 to fighting thurman and spence. That 140 division is seriously poor quality. I was harsh on spence in the brook build up but the kid can fight thats for sure. And thurmans an elite proven welterweight. Im not saying crawford wont be able to make the step up but them two fighters will answer a lot of questions thats for sure.
Even Shawn Porter is better than anything he has faced
Well if Arum comes up with the money I'm sure Spence is down. And if Arum can't then can Crawford come over to Showtime & probably get his biggest payday to fight Spence doe? I'm guessing nah so this is all bs & just a sign that Arum don't give a f#ck about his most talented fighter (or arguably his most talented fighter or one of them if you believe Loma is) over so bs teacher/boxer who can't realllllllly fight & probably would do better in MMA than most boxers with his style.
I have a feeling that Crawford will become the new Timothy Bradley
I havent been as excited about Crawford as I should, but I do give him props, very good fighter. But one of the reasons has been his opponents. However, if he moves to 147 and faces some of the great fighters there... Man that would be exciting. Him against Thurman or Spence? Superior fights. Would have many other interesting fights there as well
Smh, using weight again to prove who the bigger guy is. Put Thurman next to Crawford and it is clear that Thurman is bigger due to bone density and muscle. Same with Spence. And no, Crawford will not be able to evade Spence because his movement isn't as great as a 'Keith Thurman' who would just bounce around. If Spence could beat Kell Brook, i'm pretty sure that he won't have no trouble with the smaller Crawford.
Hahaha im using quantitative data, such as weight, height and reach that all suggest the crawford is larger or as similar size to thurman so that thurman wouldnt have an advantage. And you're out here using the eye test, smh you dont think theres any chance that crawford the taller, rangier fighter moving up a division will add muscle and bulk up ?????
Wrong, crawford was rehydrating to 150+ in his last couple fights so wouldnt surprise me that he is 155+ when fighting at welterweight. He is also taller and has longer reach than thurman, whose power is overated anyways. Spences weight advantage will count for nothing due to Crawfords superior movement and evasion.

The skill set between Thurman, Spence, and Crawford isn't that wide. And you forget that Spence and Thurman are basically Middleweight draining to Welter whereas Crawford is a natural 135 pounder. Size, speed, and power will all be in Thurman, Spence, and Porter's hands.

And I actually believe him. Floyd fans think everyone's like Floyd, and only care about money, and not about making their mark, and proving they're the greatest. TC is built from a different cloth, like Sugar Ray, Duran, Hearns, Tyson, sugar Shane.
He whoops Thurman, 50/50 with Spence. If TC can carry most of his power up to 147, which I think he can, seeing the Prescott fight, he can beat anyone their.
Based on...Thurman not being very good?
Thurman has never looked good against "boxing" type of fighters. His best wins have came against "brawlers" like Porter and to some degree Danny.
Crawford toys with Thurman.
However, I think Crawford will have his hands full with Spence. Size difference is real
Thurman has better footwork, defense, hand speed, power, and he can make adjustments pretty well. He is also able to fight on the inside which Crawford hasn't shown to be able to. Thurman has fought pretty much so every style and has looked good. Put Crawford int he ring with Porter and I don't think he wins that fight and if he does he will get dropped a few times and beaten up pretty badly. Crawford hasn't fought the same level of opposition that Thurman has so Thurman gets the benefit of the doubt and let's not forget who has the better chin and who the bigger man is. And when it comes to Spence, Crawford get's stopped due to the huge size and strength disparity. But I don't see why you favor Spence against Crawford and not Thurman against Crawford when Thurman is more technical and skilled compared the Spence.
Not who he has fought just the way he has completely dominated the 140 division, whilst 147 will be tougher he will hardly be under sized and has a large skill advantage over the three you named.

What makes you think that he beats Spence, Porter, and Thurman. Who has he fought to make you think such a thing.
