Keith Thurman vs Terence Crawford

[John Locke]

Thurman is more proven and battle tested, we have seen him in with A level competition, we seen him survive and win, we've seen him in 50-50 fights.

Crawford passes the eye test doe, he looks unstoppable against Dierry Jean and Hammerin Hank Lundy

Good fight because Thurman can crack and box

Crawford has tendency to get caught en route to figuring his opponents out

I don't think it is all that interesting. To me Crawford has clearly shown himself to be a better all around fighter than Thurman. Thurman was good but his best days seem to be behind him. His chin is not so good either. I can't imagine Crawford going life and death with a number 25 contender type guy like Lopez. I think Crawford clearly beats Thurman by a wide margin if they fight. I can't think of any way Thurman is better than Crawford. Thurman is not faster or more skillful and he does not punch harder. He cannot take punishment as well as Crawford either. I give Crawford the edge on everything important. Spence vs Crawford is the real fight and Thurman comes up short compared to either of them and Pacquiao of course.

I have to favor thurman as he's more tested and proven welterweight .

Pre-injury, pre marriage Keith vs Bud would been good though I still would favoured Bud via close Dec. I think Crawford hurts and likely stops current Keith after a competitive first half.

Yeah I got Crawford by stoppage, I think he’d achieve it by targeting the body.

Bud will tear that body up and Thurman will becomes gun shy.

Thurman is no Hank Lundy or John Molina doe.

Crawford likely stops him.

Crawford could win, but y'all smoking crack if y'all think he just gonna stop Thurman easily bruh, Thurman aint ever been stopped and unlike all the slow and non existent footwork fighters Crawford has been fighting at 147 Thurman isn't just gonna stand there and fight a fight at Crawfords pace and leave himself in prime position to be hit, take the fanboy goggles off and use your boxing eyes, the only fighter Crawford has fought at 147 who moves his feet at all really is Khan and Khan never did anything at 147 except get beat up. It would be a close fight that could go either way, all this talk of a stoppage needs to stop. 60-40 fight in favor of Crawford. Pre injury Thurman it would without a doubt be a 50-50 fight and a great boxing match. Not to mention Thurman is by far and away the hardest puncher Crawford would have ever faced.

You're right but all I'm saying is when Bud drops him it will be because of a good round or two of selective body work. I honestly just don't see Kieth handling that well at all.
