Gamboa never dropped Crawford, he slightly wobbled him at best. I think at the higher weight his chin will improve

Spence and Crawford both my guys may the best man win... With that being said I'm glad Bo Mack came out and expressed what he needed to express. Not gonna bash Spence side nor Bud's side reason being I'm more hopeful this will happen unlike Wilder/AJ or stall like May/Pac this fight will happen next year. I think there's a change coming and the fighters well some of this era is putting pressure on the politics to which they needed to do. Fighters got a lot more power than we think.

Crawford Wins. He adapts to any style.

Can't we arrange a triangle tourney with Sometimes Thurman, Bud and Spence? A division with so many good fighters has stagnated. It needs the Kalle treatment.

Crawford has some skills but the fact that he was dropped by Gamboa gives me reason to believe Spence can get outboxed by Crawford but eventually overwhelm him late. Kinda like Hurd did to Lara (I'm still pissed at that lol Oh well lol)... Also Crawford hasn't fought the best guys in the world either.

Bud was dropped by Gamboa? I don't recall that happening. I do recall him getting rocked by Gamboa because he got careless going for the KO after he had rocked and hurt Gamboa. You may be correct in saying that Bud's chin could be suspect because he was rocked at 135lb and might be in trouble against a full fledged welter who could easily move up to 154. But keep in mind that was at lightweight. People like to use the old saying that knockouts are usually harder to come by as a fighter moves up in weight. This can also apply to a fighter who's draining himself to make a lower weight and find that his chin becomes more durable as he moves up in weight. Hopefully time will tell.

Crawford-Kavaliauskas is next.

Hands down, THE best at WW, Spence & Crawford...this is a 50/50 match up, everyone else at WW vs either Spence or Crawford gets KO'd and is looking like 70/30 underdogs, this includes Thurman also!

Crawford had 6/7 workman-like rounds with Jeff Horn, where he was getting tagged and giving as he got got, before he separated and blitzed him.

Would hold off on elevating Crawford all that quick.

this is the fight we need to see

Spence turned into a little hushpuppy as soon Crawford knocks on that door.. damn and I was a fan of Spence, and now he showed that he has baby nutz, he is just a loudmouth when calling out fighters he is a huge favorite against, vs Crawford he goes hiding!

It sounds good. We want _________ elite fighter, but instead we fight ___________ C-level fighter.
