      Crawfore is a real talent. He has speed, power, technique and real boxing ability, but I guess we will find out soon.

        So Spence doesn't have a better resume than Crawford.
        I think it'll be a great fight between Crawford and Spence. I can't pick a winner and it'll be interesting to see if Crawford can carry his power up too 147.
        "Good fighters" aka b level guys lol not one of those wins are as good as that Brook win. I think we all know that. I like Bud. He and Spence are a 50/50 scrap imo but his resume isn't jumping off the page. I don't think thats a controversial statement at all and there are a lot of people on these boards who agree. Save the fanboy ****. These two guys are my favorite fighters to watch right now (jack too)

          On paper this is ray leonard vs tommy hearns. The problem is neither guy is well know like ray and heanrs wre before they fought, they need to build them up better, its one of those epic showdowns.

            Have you seen the p4p lists? I understand your point. I'm just highlighting how he's regarded by pundits. And there's not much evidence right now to argue against that placement.

              It definiteky has that type of potential. Hopefully they both clean up two or three more guys and we have a solid PPV scrap in 2019.

                I agree that they are the two best welterweights in the world and I think Spence would win by KO. I don't agree that they are the two best PFP boxers in the world but that's his choice. I have them both top 5 PFP but not 1st and 2nd.

                  I'd love to see manny fight them too because he's a welterweight

                    Your swinging off Brook's nutts too much now. It was a good win for Spence, considering he went into enemy territory and got the win. But I wouldn't consider Brook an A level fighter. I think Crawford's win over Gamboa was more impressive than Spence's win over Brook.
                    And I'm not being a fanboy you fool! I'm just keeping it real!
                    And I like Peterson but even if Spence beats him easily tonight it won't put him above Crawford. Your the one being a fanboy and swinging off Spence's nutts!
                    He is a great fighter but he just hasn't had the opportunity to fight the best. Not a knock on him cause I think he'll fight anybody.
                    But his resume isn't better than Crawford's.

                      Gamboa? After being shelved and asked to fight on short notice? Yeah, sure lol

                      Look dude. Nobody is looking at Crawford's bodies and thinking damn those are killers. He beat solid guys. Unifying is what made that run dope. Not the competition.

                      We gotta get to a place beyond "nuts" "hater" and "fool" lol You dudes with little man syndrome be on here losing it. Go hit a brew and relax lol
