Comments Thread For: Crawford Would Favor Keith Thurman to Beat Errol Spence

[Sledgeweather17]

I agree. I like both fighters but the sheeple are quick to say spence beats thurman, i think thurman has great chance of winning that. Spence beats porter and garcia though

We aint phased. Same things yawl saying Thurman will do to Spence are the same things yawl said Algieri would do, and then jumped on the Brook bandwagon, and now yawl on the Thurman bandwagon.

We already know yawl got the Crawford bandwagon lined up.

I can see Errol stopping Thurman to the body & I can see Thurman keeping at bay & boxing on the outside to beat Errol on the cards.

He'll have to get around Spence's monster jab before he can do that.

I got Thurman if the fight happens soon. I think Spence needs a little more experience before he'll be ready for Thurman.

As for Crawford I think he should wait before moving to 147. I don't think he's ready for that yet.

Welterweight is fairly weak right now, so Crawford could do well.

You only have Thurman and Spence, and both haven't really achieved that much. The division has yet to pick up since the talent faded (Mayweather, Pacquiao, Bradley, Marquez)

what does canelo vs ggg have to do with this? Floyd already beat canelo... Plus why the hell would he fight at 160 at 40 lol

You missed the premise of my post buddy. That was an example of fighter behavior. Over the years I've noticed certain themes amongst fighters. (i.e. another example, fighters never pick a guy they lost to as the hardest puncher they've faced.)

Btw if you think Floyd isn't entertaining fighting again, then you're delusional. If Canelo wins, we'll likely see that rematch. Especially if it sells well. Too much money not to.

AGREED. Thurman would whoop Spence ass!

I started a thread saying Spence is just the bigger version of Porter. He bullrushes when he knows he can't box with a more skillful boxer like Brook. Of course, it always ends up in a clinch. And if you're smaller you'll get pounded mercilessly in that clinched state like Brook was.
Thurman is an in and out fighter. He could get inside and Gift Garcia would rather clinch and wait for the ref's interference.
Spence is a huge welterweight and he would bully a frail-looking guy like Thurman. Errol would beat Thurman the same way he beat Brook. His bullrushing style that ends in a clinch would beat Thurman to a pulp.
Thurman's only chance is a puncher's chance. But we haven't seen him knocking out guys even after launching his best shot.

[rickJen]

Crawford is saying he'd rather fight Thurman, who is the smaller guy, than Spence, if you read between the lines. (That is if he moves up to 147.)

I think Thurman is the better boxer and would be favored but if you look at the 3 big wins Spence had, he pretty much destroyed all 3. I'm sure Thurman could beat them too but could he do it in the fashion Spence did it? Spence is skilled enough and also has the tenacity that makes his opponents crumble faster than they would normally. A fight with Porter would be a good gauge to see how Spence would fare against Thurman. For now I lean towards Thurman but Spence would give him more than anyone else he's faced before. And remember Thurman was in some pretty close fights.

btw if you think floyd isn't entertaining fighting again, then you're delusional. If canelo wins, we'll likely see that rematch. Especially if it sells well. Too much money not to.

100% floyd will not fight canelo again.... Maybe manny rematch but not canelo... He is at 160 now.... He wont come down to 154 ever again...
