Crawford vs Spence

[DuckAdonis]

I got Crawford in that fight as well

Both guys are still pretty unproven.

The most proven guy at 147 is still Thurman and he's been out for over a year.

Spence hasn't faced anyone that can punch and has 1 good opponent in Brook, but let's not forget that Brook fought Spence after yo-yoing in weight and getting his eye socket destroyed.

Who is Crawford's best win even? Postol? Postol beats over-hyped Matthysse and he's suddenly great?

Spence and Crawford could run through Porter, Garcia, or each other to keep moving forward. Keith needs to fight the top guy in all of that mess (probably Spence or Crawford) to really crown a #1 guy at WW.

Based on what i saw tonight, Horn who is basically a journeyman bum on the same level of a Greco.

TC made it seem like Horn was some kind of beast, way too much back and forth for my liking.

I don't think TC is cut out for 147, a weight class too far. Khan is pretty big and hits harder than Horn.

Khan would have been on his azz from some of the shots that Horn absorbed

I got Crawford. He's become an incredible fighter and I think he's a bit too good for Spence. There are definitely questions about whether he can stave off Spence for 12, though.

Man......I can't pick lol i'm dead locked lol

There's no one at welterweight who stands a chance against Crawford besides Spence. I can't even imagine what he'd do to the likes of Porter or Garcia. Thurman probably has some success, but in a battle between two counter punchers, Crawford is easily the sharper fighter.

Crawford doesn't not have Floyd's movement or Defense. He gets hit too much and that is something he has not corrected. Thurman, Porter, Danny, and Spence are a whole different class of animals compared to Horn.

I agree Crawford likes to exchange a little too much. He gives fighters a chance to hit him.
He’s a DoG. He’s mean. He still is very talented and smart.
A very good fight with Spence
but still wins.

To be honest. I don’t think Garcia, Thurman nor Porter would give either Spence or Bud any problems. Their real competition is each other.

Why do you say that?

He got hit a bit too much from that straight right and Horn made some rounds too close. Somewhere around round 7 Horn landed a right to the body that got Crawford hurt, his experience carried him there in not showing the damage. And he couldn't fight in the orthodox stance, he tried it in the opening bell and couldn't keep it. Tried again in round 9 and again had to change for southpaw. Too much problems against someone as limited as Horn.
Inoue, Lomachenko and Garcia wouldn't have a problem with a Horn in their weights

Spence has beaten an elite fighter. Crawford has not.
