Could shawn Trouble Bud?

Spence and Pacman fought top5 welterweights and got the W by close decisions. Bud....zero. You cant argue for him being #1 cos he hasn't fought elite opponents yet. It's just another case of: Woulda Coulda Shoulda

Bud would control him and not let him do his thing. Spence fought porter's fight to be honest. If bud was in there, his ring IQ would allow him to dictate the pace and he is very experienced against pressure fighters who lunge forward a lot. It would be a bad match up for porter.

Problem with Crawford is, we don`t know how good he actually is at 147. Ok, he beat Horn who beat pacquiao, but Horn - Pacquiao was a robbery so it doesn`t matter. I really hope we see him against one of these Haymon guys in near future.

Who had it easy beating Porter ? I agree. Porters all wrong for everybody. Still I think/Bud would have the best go at him. Hard to imagine Bud forced into the type of fight Spence was in tonight though. I’m a huge Bud fan. I hope he can fight a top guy soon so we can all run our mouths one way or the other.

Porter troubles anyone, I think Bud beats him easier doe, just because he has a better ring IQ and know how to adapt quicker IMHO.

I think he beats crawford. But that's just my opinion.

Porter would smother bud. We’d have to see how he adjusts to that

Porter gives anybody problems Winning is something else Bud would adjust to Porter much better than Spence did tonight

I think Crawford's check right hook and sneaky body shots would keep Porter honest. Wouldn't be shocked if Porter got dropped by a right hook on the inside just like tonight. Crawford is a better boxer than Spence at distance and a much better counterpuncher who punishes reckless aggression(See fights with Diaz, Postol, Molina, Horn)

Who had it easy beating Porter ?

Bud hasn't fought a top5 yet. And Shawn is the most stylistically bad top5 matchup for him.

Of course he could. None of these guys are head and shoulders above the other. People have been dogging Thurman for awhile now, but Thurman would give any of the best Welterweights a very difficult fight and he'd have a good chance of winning many of those fights. Spence and Crawford are not head and shoulders above the rest of the guys.

Bad match up for bud who fight at a slow pace. Very possible. But for some reason most will disagree
