Crawford vs Spence

Spence has beaten an elite fighter. Crawford has not. They said the same thing about Loma at one time but some people KNOW a legit fighter when they see one.

Why would Spence Jr. fight backwards? He's most likely the naturally bigger man, bigger puncher. He'd start the fight that way. Crawford has enough skill and power to make a lot of fighters stop coming forward. Interesting fight...

Dont know yet. Gotta see Crawford against a live WW first.

You give Brook too much credit. Brook has the best right hand and arguably the best jab in boxing. Brook is head and shoulders above everyone Crawford has fought

Spence has beaten an elite fighter. Crawford has not. You give Brook too much credit.

To be honest. I don’t think Garcia, Thurman nor Porter would give either Spence or Bud any problems. Their real competition is each other. Spence has beaten an elite fighter. Crawford has not.

Why do you say that? He got hit a bit too much from that straight right and Horn made some rounds too close. Somewhere around round 7 Horn landed a right to the body that got Crawford hurt, his experience carried him there in not showing the damage. And he couldn't fight in the orthodox stance, he tried it in the opening bell and couldn't keep it. Tried again in round 9 and again had to change for southpaw. Too much problems against someone as limited as Horn. Inoue, Lomachenko and Garcia wouldn't have a problem with a Horn in their weights

Both guys are still pretty unproven. The most proven guy at 147 is still Thurman and he's been out for over a year. Spence hasn't faced anyone that can punch and has 1 good opponent in Brook, but let's not forget that Brook foughtSpence after yo-yoing in weight and getting his eye socket destroyed. Who is Crawford's best win even? Postol? Postol beats over-hyped Matthysse and he's suddenly great? Spence and Crawford could run through Porter, Garcia, or each other to keep moving forward. Keith needs to fight the top guy in all of that mess (probably Spence or Crawford) to really crown a #1 guy at WW. To be honest. I don’t think Garcia, Thurman nor Porter would give either Spence or Bud any problems. Their real competition is each other.

Crawford doesn't not have Floyd's movement or Defense. He gets hit too much and that is something he has not corrected. Thurman, Porter, Danny, and Spence are a whole different class of animals compared to Horn. I agree Crawford likes to exchange a little too much. He gives fighters a chance to hit him. He’s a DoG. He’s mean. He still is very talented and smart. A very good fight with Spence but still wins.

There's no one at welterweight who stands a chance against Crawford besides Spence. I can't even imagine what he'd do to the likes of Porter or Garcia. Thurman probably has some success, but in a battle between two counter punchers, Crawford is easily the sharper fighter.

Man......I can't pick lol i'm dead locked lol

I got Crawford. He's become an incredible fighter and I think he's a bit too good for Spence. There are definitely questions about whether he can stave off Spence for 12, though.

Based on what i saw tonight, Horn who is basically a journeyman bum on the same level of a Greco. TC made it seem like Horn was some kind of beast, way too much back and forth for my liking. I don't think TC is cut out for 147, a weight class too far. Khan is pretty big and hits harder than Horn. Khan would have been on his azz from some of the shots that Horn absorbed

I got Crawford in that fight as well

Crawford beats Spence. Too many Spence nuthuggers on NSB.

I can't see any scenario in which Spence beats Bud.

Crawford is more skilled than Spence. He will acclimate to the division (this was only his first fight), and Bud will win by clear decision or late TKO.

Spence kos crawford.. You guys forget already that gamboa landed a clean shot and crawford was doing the chicken dance. Not if but when ej catches crawford clean thats all she wrote. Spence ko 11 LOL, you must have forgot that Brook won 2/3's of the rounds against Spence. Revisionist history is a great thing until it's time for a dose of reality. Bud stops Brook and wins a wide decision over Porter. He'll break Spence down until he either quits or gets knocked out trying to be a hero. :boxing:

Crawford would get him. To much ring general ship. Too smart with damn good timing. That would be a ****ing war... I’d love to see, and hope both men live to live another ****ing day.. Two proven warriors, glatiors ... going to war.
