lol my friend said "a healthy keith beats crawford"

Hard to take you seriously when you criticize his performance vs Collazo, he's been a nightmare opponent for so many quality fighters, and you never know what version will show up on fight night. Thurman got the job done ... and lol at claiming he's ducking Khan, come on son (and I was joking about him being king of the hill, but he's certainly one of the kings) lol yea I'm joking about Khan too. Just funny to throwing out Khan's name it's just too bad Keith is no where to be found

lol "Thurman is king of the hill", yet it's too bad he doesn't want to come out of hiding and fight Vargas, someone who just drew against a guy Crawford whooped on Thurman is king of the hill yet he don't even want none of khan lmao Thurman king of the hill yet he don't even want to go to salt water to get his shoulder fixed or he let a guy get shot in the leg make a faster come back than him Thurman king of the hill yet onetime turned into run time against COLLAZO!!! Thurman king of the hill yet couldn't even do what Omar Figueroa did to Guerrero Hard to take you seriously when you criticize his performance vs Collazo, he's been a nightmare opponent for so many quality fighters, and you never know what version will show up on fight night.

I'll go with Crawford but it good be a competitive fight.

I would favor One Time easily over Crawford, solely based on the quality of opponents. :beerchug:

Healthy Keith vs current Crawford would be a damn near 50/50 fight imo. I might give a slight edge to Crawford because he is a quick, skilled switch hitter with good defense and good counter and body punching. On the flip-side Crawford has never fought anyone with Keith's movement and punching power, along with his fast hands. He has a pretty solid defense as well. Its an interesting style match-up for sure. I agree with this exactly and Spence would knock either out in my opinion.

Thurman would give Crawford a tougher fight then Spence, no doubt. Tougher style matchup there for Crawford.

Keith dancing ass would get hurt to the body leaping in. All that darting in darting out wild swinging barely using his jab wont work on Crawford. Crawford isnt some flat footed counter puncher or some wild swinging brawler who smothers his own punches.

Thurman is getting no respect. It's actually funny because he's a good fighter and no pushover.

And your friend is probably correct. No big thurman fan but, crawford is now in a class with alot of elite talent that he has never faced before. Its going to be an uphill batttle for crawford to gain any respect in the division. Benevidez while questionably lame, but was a step up in competition and almost went the distance. Spence, Garcia, Thurman, Pac, porter, etc, are on a much higher and experienced level than Benevidez. That is a fact. A discussion about a Crawford/Thurman fight is a moot point at this time. Thurman will take a warm up fight before he enters back into the fray. Imo, Pac and Porter are Crawfords safest bets to fight at this stage. And their is no certainty that he would survive with either of them. Garcia wiuld be plan “c” because i think he hits harder when he lands a solid shot. A Spence beating wiuld have Crawford questioning himself and his carreer choices. I Like a Pacquiao fight next for Crawford. Very good chance to make alot of money too. Another good fight possibility would be to see the sww Charlo drop back down and take a fight with crawford.

I feel like its a close fight, but Thurman beats Crawford in my opinion.

that if Thurman has never faced a boxer like "Bud" then the same can be said in reverse, there's only one Keith Thurman and he's king of the hill. lol "Thurman is king of the hill", yet it's too bad he doesn't want to come out of hiding and fight Vargas, someone who just drew against a guy Crawford whooped on Thurman is king of the hill yet he don't even want none of khan lmao Thurman king of the hill yet he don't even want to go to salt water to get his shoulder fixed or he let a guy get shot in the leg make a faster come back than him Thurman king of the hill yet onetime turned into run time against COLLAZO!!!

It would be a hard fight for both but kieth would probably win

Thurman doesn't throw enough punches, and his body is still suspect after getting wobbled by Callazzo. I would favor Crawford by UD. Thurman would land a few good counters, but he doesn't put together enough combinations and he isn't aggressive enough. If Bundu can last 12 rounds, no way is Thurman going to dominate a prime Crawford.

Well FWIW, I think Keith is the guy to beat at that weigh.

Keith stands a better chance than spence, more versatile. Crawford is open to right hands in that southpaw stance, horn wacked him with a solid one, gamboa, benavidez too.

bud's beaten everyone he's faced too, what's your point? that if Thurman has never faced a boxer like "Bud" then the same can be said in reverse, there's only one Keith Thurman and he's king of the hill.

Keef would sit on this guy and beat his ass.

I do not see much power from Crawford at 147, I also have seen him dropped by Gamboa. Thurman can still fight even though lately he has been mia. I think Thurman beats Crawford He was never dropped by Gamboa. Gamboa didn't even win the round he "dropped" Crawford in.
