    There's usually not that much disparity in skill among the elites unless another elite has been protected for a long time (like Wilder or Broner)

    Recent elite fighter vs elite fighter in the welterweight division:

    Thurman vs Porter result: UD win by Thurman 115-113
    Thurman vs Garcia result: SD win by Thurman
    Porter vs Garcia result: UD win by Porter 115-113
    Pacquiao vs Thurman result: SD win by Pacquiao
    Spence vs Porter result: SD win by Spence

    Crawford is the only one who still hasn't fought the elite fighters of his division (this can be a bad thing because he may very well be caught off guard by the disparity of skills between that of the elite and the mediocre)
    B-b-b-b-b-but Keef been hurt to da body before, doe. Bud gone finish him this time.

    The question is...how does Bud respond to being hit by a true Welterweight, being that he's yet to fight one?

    Great points about the elite guys fighting close fights, it's in black & white, but most will dispute it anyway. Lol

      Great points and Crawford should be willing to do whatever it takes to get Thurman or another elite opponent in the ring with him. After all, he is already 32

            It’s an interesting matchup to see how good Bud is
            Let’s hope it happens

              Top rank won`t take that risk for their house fighter. They will rather make Crawford -Bes***** or something.

                Crawford spells bad news for anybody including Thurman. But tbf, Thurman might give a better showing than the rest can

                    That would be such an entertaining fight. A lot of hooks would be thrown in that fight. TC with his signature left-right combo hooks vs Thurman’s looping hooks=fireworks. Make it happen, boxing gods!
