    They're basically the same size. Crawford is 1 inch shorter but he has a 2 inch reach advantage.

      Inactivity will be the difference. No way around it, you can’t fight at an elite
      level with months of inactivity. Especially against a fighter as talented and determined as Spence.

      I think both at their best, I leaned Crawford, but with that much inactivity it’s impossible
      to be at your best.

        What the hell are you talking about? Spence last fight was april 16 2022. Crawford last fight was dec 10 2022. Spence has fought twice in the last 3 years. Crawford has fought 3 times in the last 3 years.

          Spence has fought once in 2 and a half years as far as i can see, at least crawford had a good runout last december

              My pick is crawford by stoppage but I'm just hoping for a good fight, i don't really care who wins.

                I feel it will go to a decision in favor of Spence. By maybe 4 points.

                  For those who hate Crawford, why do you think Spence is the underdog? Any comment on this?

                    All things being equal, Spence is probably the better fighter technically. That technical superiority isn't going to mean a lot though when he takes one on the chin and he loses control of his legs.

                      I have a hard time picturing how it goes. first few rounds i think they will be cautious. both get hit and both been wobbled.

                      spence is bigger but dont expect it to play much difference, crawford is a full size welter now and can fight at 154 if he wants. he was gigantic at 135 so dont read much into the size difference. crawford got the trickier angles and is more skilled.
