    Thurman and Danny-Easiest matchups for Bud, Danny too economic with this punches and Thurman would probably get outboxed.
    Porter and Ugas-50/50 as they both have the styles to trouble him which could go either way.
    Pacquiao and Spence-Bud loses. Spence would implement the same strategies Brook and the previous opponent did PLUS he has the chin to take Bud's power which they didn't. Pac-Bud would be similar to the Thurman fight imo
    Current manny who fades in the 2nd half of fights would get hurt vs Crawford and Spence

        Guys who step up late rarely rise to the occasion

        Need to fight good opponents early on to learn and develop as a fighter
        I think Crawford’s special tbh man, GGG was a wrecking machine at his peak but you always kind of thought what happens if somebody can take the power or avoid the big shots. Crawford is far more adaptable, gonna be very tough to beat IMO.

        Time is against him though... I get your point.

          Crawford is ridiculously strong for his frame I reckon. Supposedly bigger and stronger welterweights never really seem to be able to impose their size on him.

            Remember how much bigger Benavidez was than Crawford? Must be that collegiate wrestling that gave him great strength in the legs and shoulders.

              Porter isn’t easy for a soul. Crawford is no exception. But I’d rather see a unification

                Yeah exactly, it probably is, he probably knows his utilise his weight properly in clinches and stuff like that.

                  i been saying this for a while. Porter's style is a bad matchup for crawford. There is a reason he doesn't want this fight.

                    He was going to be easy initially for Spence.

                      Nah, Porter is more athletic with better footwork. Horn comes at you in straight lines. Porter is just flat out better.

                      I'd love to see the fight. Can Crawford hurt and stop Porter? Would be a huge statement if he could. I doubt he could but would love to see Bud try.

                      Make this fight happen next!
