    No not really. I feel he has more talent than both.

        Whatever happens there is some serious money to be made from these 3 fighting each other.

          Idk if you notice it but Loma is Mr. Worldwide at the moment, far surpassed Mr Omaha.
          I don't care and know anything about A or B stuff, not my bussiness.

            I need to see Crawford a couple of more times at WW before I pick him over one time
            I think a healthy Thurman ie the one from about 18-24 mo tha back is a more difficult style than Spence and about 50/50 (maybe even slightly favored) over Spence IMO.

            What concerns me though is I think he’s losing his hunger and already sounding and looking like a semi-retired fighter and one guy that will check your gut is Crawford.

              Spence and Thurman's only chance to win is by KO because Crawford is more skilled than both of them, so I understand why you feel that way if you're expecting Spence or Thurman to win.

                one thing i will say is that Crawford doesn't seem that hard to hit clean sometimes. He can be caught flush plenty of times in a fight. You can't be given those chances to guys like Thurman and Spence, but i'm sure he would know that and fight a more measured fight.

                I do think he's quality, but realistically, his best win is still some levels below the top guys at 147.

                  I'm a big Thurman fan but Crawford would **** him up. They fight very similarly, but Crawford is better at literally every skill they share.

                    I honestly don't know if this is trolling. There's not a single point whatsoever where Horn had Crawford rocking. Not even remotely close to anything you could realistically call that.

                      Bud was always a welter. He just cut weight in the past and is now fighting in his regular weight. His trainer confirmed this, this is not my opinion.

                      He's also turning 31 in September, so not sure how much more speed or power he can develop.
