    If we are talking about potential, I would give a slight nod to Crawford for his boxing skills. I see him outboxing Spence to a UD. If Spence tactically handles Garcia, and not just manhandling, then Spence’s potential is solidified.

    If we’re talking about #1 welterweight based on money-in-the-bank performances and experience, no doubt Pacquiao compared to these well-advised businessmen WWs of today.

        I think it's Spence. I think he would KO everybody at 147. I got here to late to vote for him. MAN DOWN!

          I have been impressed with Spence for a long time because he beats common opponents better than other top welterweights do. He quickly and easily KOed Algieri who Khan and Pacquiao could not stop. He KOed Bundu who Thurman could not stop and Bundu said Spence was better than Thurman. He KOed Brook who beat Porter. I like Crawford but all he did at 147 was beat the hell out of Horn who is not very good and should have a loss on his record to Pacquiao. I have never been a fan of the Charlos and think they are overrated by many.

            Crawford beats them all. If any of them try to trade with him, he will win by KO.

              Crawford - Spence would be a great fight.

              I think Crawford has more facets to his game and can do more things, but at the same time, Spence is very good at what he does well. I think Spence would beat Crawford at welterweight.

              Spence might be the only guy in the division who beats Crawford, but these fighters need to prove it. They need to fight each other.

                Fair enough hopefully we get at least one match up involving 2 of the 3 top.welters this year

                  That's a pretty ****** debate.

                    Spence and Crawford are the best at 147 IMO.

                    If they were to fight this year I'd pick Spence all day.

                      Crawford #1 with Spence being second and Thurman third. I don't know what kind of drugs the people picking Pacquiao are on. Just compare how Pacquiao did against Horn to what Crawford did.
