    That is a tough call because Brook is going to be coming back down and he looked like he bulked up for Golovkin. Coming back down in that situation is a lot to on overcome.

    Spence is a force offensively, he leaves something to be desired defensively but his offense more than covers for that.

    I believe Spence to have the advantage at range but Brook will be able to land his own and if he can land then tie Spence up he will frustrate Spence gaining the advantage. However, with the weight dropping and the leg stabbing I give Spence the edge because he is certainly the younger fresher guy and he will bring the fight to Brook.

    Tough call though
    What about Brook vs Crawford
    Spence vs Crawford.

        one time can fight, thats for sure, the bigger man too. Crawford is a hell of a fighter though, but i'd go for thurman as hes more proven at welter

          Thurman is much stronger fighter.

            I think Thurman would beat Crawford if Crawford moved up to 147.

              Terence Crawford one of the very few American fighters who isn't ducking everyone and taking handpicked opponents all the time. We need more boxers from the USA like him. He's taking a few risks. I think he'd get in there with anyone. I'd pick him over Thurman

                Wouldn't Crawford's switch fighting skills bother him?

                  That is a possibility. But Thurman's speed, power and experience at 147 would bother Crawford.

                    Crawford is not ready for the top WWs at WW just yet , he is still green and a little sloppy , Roach he reminds him of a young Mayweather but more pop , well Floyd would never get hit with what TC is getting caught with because he was a lot quicker and much better feet , TC cant be taking them shots off the best from the next division up .

                    I see great things in TC but he is also a little ragged and loose , they dont wanna be fckn around with weight not just yet anyways , he needs to stay at 140 and the best fight I see that will answer all the questions is Manny P at 140 .

                      Stop. "prime" Mayweather was careless and smacked around plenty. Eating combos was one of his favourite pastimes, something you'd never see his "past prime" version take.
