No. They're both unproven. Crawford has more acumen as hes dominated over THREE weight classes and was lineal at 140, but neither Bud or Spence have fought great or elite competition.
Thurman has literally 2 decent-good wins over fellow decent-good Garcia and Porter (and squeaked by with SD in both). And he has ZERO great-elite wins. Hes only fought ONE Great fighter in Manny and he lost despite a respectable effort. Important to note that 40yo Manny is good-great but NOT ELITE. 30-35 year old Manny (Elite) stops Keith inside of 4 rounds.
Every other Keith fight/win is against a fringe contender or gatekeeper. Literally...Look at dudes fights. Hes just promoted well by PBC. Mostly ordinary fighter though
And? Anthony Joshua was on peoples pound for pound lists and was considered #1 at HW. What's that mean?
Ya I'm getting ready for bed soon, but you are correct. Keith is not a world class fighter.
I guess it depends on how you define world class, but for me world class is Top 1-3 fighters in your division. At no point in time - ever - did I rate Keith. Nor did I rate Danny, Shawn, or Kell. They're like the Martin Murray of WW. Solid fighter and a good test, but good-great fighters will beat them and elite fighters will stop or dominate them.
I like Keith and hes a good fighter, but hes a notch or two below world class. None of Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Kell Brook or Keith Thurman are world class. Good fighters, but not world class.
I dont know why you're getting so defensive. Check those woman feelings at the door homie
