    I dont think that anyone is going to beat thurman He is underrated and very subtle but he is super calm and composed under fire. Spence is strong and has great power but he seems one dimensional to me. Crawford has all the bells and whistles...but hes not big enough for those guys.

        Difficult to assess...

        But, imo, Crawford is the most complete fighter in the sport to date...

          Crawford has fought nobody of note his size or bigger. Blown up and inactive Gamboa buzzed him while Crawford had a massive size advantage ffs. He is wayyyyy overrated with his terrible resume. Both Spence and Thurman beat Crawford and probably by knockout. Bob will save him from those losses by ducking the PBC stable like usual.

            I like watching Crawford but he has fought absolutely nobody! Top Rank has a bunch of junk! Thurman has already ran through some of the top guys. Spence Jr's One win against Brook is better than any win Crawford has.

              I would pick Bud to beat Thurman but lose to Spence.

              Hopefully we get to see both of these fights in the next few years.

                I stand behind Bud against all comers at the moment. I am looking forward to his move to 147 to conquer his 3rd division.

                  I would expect him to beat Thurman but not sure about him beating Spence. It would be a good fight but Spence is an enormous WW and he's fast.

                    Yes, I would favour him over Spence. Thurman would be a lot trickier imo and I would give a slight edge to Thurman because he is used to the weight and I think is quicker than Crawford.

                      Bud has proven he can fight on the front foot and backfoot!

                      Thurman doesnt fight well going forward and Spence hasn't shown he can fight off the backfoot!
                      If brook, who is a bigger and stronger man, couldn't beat Spence I know Crawford won't. Too small. Think about Gamboa.
