Terence Crawford vs 147 Breakdown/Prediction

[Bjl12]

The.OP writes a lot but is clueless.

Crawford beats Horn, Thurman, Danny with relative ease. Horn can be outboxed easily - Manny just doesn't stick and move which is why he has trouble.

Danny Garcia is horrible, period. Thurman is grossly overrated and is too slow and doesn't have the power to trouble TC.

Shawn Porter is a difficult fight because of how sloppy and dirty he is. Tries streetifghting like a linebacker lmfao. Ugly fight that TC wins.

Spence is a tough fight and I'd favor spence because of the weight/spence's size

[_original_]

Porter has the better Jab, footwork, defense, head movement, athleticism, and he cuts off the ring better. All Madianna has over him is hooks and maybe power. Nothing else. Ever since that Floyd vs Madianna 1, people have touted Madianna as some skilled fighter. He is not.

Porter has a jab? lol If you can say that Robert Garcia improved ONE thing when he picked up Chino it's definitely his jab, which is superior to Porter's sorry excuse for a jab. Porter has athleticism and stamina over Chino and that's it. Maidana has better combinations, jab, timing, and accuracy against the running back Porter who smothers all of his work and cannot understand timing and fighting space if his life depended on it.

You must not watch a lot of Porter's fights. Go back and look at Porter vs Broner and compare it to Broner vs Madianna. Porter showed superior boxing skills by cutting off the ring, using head movement and defense to get on the inside, and he was great at keeping his distance. ANybody who has watched both will tell you that Porter is the more technical boxer.

1. Danny Garcia is not horrible. He is a great fighter with great names on his resume while Crawford hasn't fought anyone as good as Amir Khan, Judah, Peterson, or Matthyse.
2. Crawford has never fought a puncher with the speed, power, and fundamentals of Thurman. You are basing this off your heart but not common sense.

Indeed, Crawford is just so damn well-rounded is the best p4p fighter for me, oh and he switch hits. He look spectacular also in every win, there are welterweights that haven't looked spectacular like Crawford has (like Thurman vs Garcia), but your analysis is great and unbiased man! I'm not saying it's a landslide anymore for Crawford haha

I only see Thurman and Spence giving Crawford problems at 147. I think Spence beats him, Thurman is a 50/50 fight. Especially since he has adjusted to more of a counter-punching style.

Danny Garcia gets his ass whipped, Horn gets stopped in the middle rounds, and Porter loses a very one-sided fight. I doubt Brook fights again at 147, and if he did it won't be Crawford.

I would like to see Crawford vs. Khan. It would be a good fight and a solid test for him at 147. Khan likely gets KO's in the late rounds, but I think his style gives Crawford trouble for 7 or 8 rounds. Jessie Vargas would have been a good test too, but he's moved on to PBC/Haymon, so that might be a tougher fight to make.

Crawford beats anyone at 147. Thurman is a tough fight for him, but Bud is just to versatile for all these guys. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I think he beats Spence convincingly.

[g27region]

He can beat all of them. Even Spence or whoever. Crawford is that good

[TonyGe]

I think Garcia has zero chance of beating Crawford. I'm not impressed with Garcia. He's a good solid fighter but not elite.
I'd favor Crawford over Brook because of the eye problems that Kell has. I think it's going to end his career.

He'd be favored over all with Spence having the best shot. Crawford was a very big lightweight but his style isn't based on just overpowering dudes or being too big. He can box and **** and is the most adaptable fighter in the game. He has a lot of tools and options to win.

Horn - Easy match. After some physical dirty rounds he'd be too accurate and hit Horn too much. Late stoppage or wide decision. 119-109.

Garcia - Great style match for Bud. Garcia is a little too slow on his feet and though he's an excellent counter puncher and good at timing Bud is too intelligent to just come wading in. He will dictate the tempo and box circles around Danny. 118-110

Thurman - Much superior ring IQ. Thurman will come in to **** him out and that won't work and once Bud gets to his body and starts out boxing him he won't know what to do and will just try and move and be busy. Crawford 117-111.

Porter - He probably stops Shawn. Crawford may be smothered early but with a decent ref will be able to make enough space to punish him coming in.

Spence - Spence does have size over just about any welterweight and is an accurate and hard puncher so Bud will need to be on his game. He is much more skilled and with Spence being a little easy to hit and slower on his feet he'd struggle to land consistent attacks. He's a little too methodical for Crawford.
