    Crawford is more accurate then them and has more of a killer instinct

      Jeeez have you only recently got into boxing?

      KO's don't just come from raw power. Accuracy and timing are also important.

        He does not have more of a killer instinct than Spence, Ortiz, or Ennis.

          I got Crawford by decision but I agree with your points. Crawford definitely hits harder than Thurman- who isn’t a puncher whatsoever IMO. The moment his competition stepped up he didn’t stop anybody.

          I feel like Spence is the heavier hitter but Crawford is the snappier and more explosive puncher. I’d say it close between them two.
          Danny Garcia disagrees with you and he’s been in the ring with both guys. He said Thurman hits harder than Spence.

He just has the perceived boxing ability to land punches that neither Thurman or Spence were able to land on Porter. His speed and counter punching is seen as superior to both of them so he'd probably land cleaner punches than they did with greater regularity
              I'm sorry, but Thurman's counterpunching and hand speed is just as good as Crawford. Crawford might be slightly more accurate, but there isn't a huge disparity between Crawford and the Thurman who spot Porter and Garcia when you talk about skills.

                It's easy to look "mean" when you look at his opposition. He could barely get a one-legged Benavidez out of there.

                  And here was me thinking it was because he fights tomato cans.

                      Both are clearly better than Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia. Don't get it twisted.
