That's an interesting take. Considering the type of user I am (I favor skills, boxing IQ, and versatility over everything else) I would usually favor someone like Thurman who can fight in a multitude of ways. However, I know special when I see it and Errol Spence is SPECIAL. He stops Thurman if they fight, he will not be denied

Fighters do this all the time. They pick/side with the guy they'd rather face. Crawford is moving to WW, you can be sure he'd rather Keith took the W against Spence.
Floyd is doing the same with Canelo - GGG. There are countless other examples of this. Nothing in any of this imo.Comment

Sheeple? Why sheeple, because they disagree with your assessment? That's a really good fight. I pick Spence because I've seen how Thurman reacts to body shots. I'm also not sure Thurman wins that fight against Brook... definitely not by stoppage like Spence did. Thurman's game is based on movement. Spence stood in there, taking Brooks' best shots and stalked him down.Comment

I would also pick Thurman at this point in there careers. Thurman hasn't shown One-Time in a couple years, but his level of competition has also increased so it's not unusual that he isn't stopping people like he did earlier in his career. However what Thurman has shown is that has the will to win, and so far has always found a way to get the victory. He's crafty in that sense. I feel like he can actually be an even better fighter, but for that he will need to switch trainers IMO.
Spence is the goods though. He will be a force no matter what. He's not as proven yet, but that is just a matter of time.Comment

I don't agree... by the time Thurman is back I'm guessing March or April at the earliest then he'll have be back in training, fight a fairly easy fight b4 he'll step up vs someone genuine ...we're looking at the end of 2018 and I still don't think it would be Spence... if they meet in 2019 Spence will beat him...Comment

Crawford is runnin scared from spence just like manny and danny and porter.... He will never fight spence... Bud knows he will get dropped and stopped.... Crawford went to england and beat ricky burns... Spence went to england and stopped kell brook infront of 30k... #LevelsComment
