    Who has a better chance in beating Lara? Spence or Crawford?

    Which style do you prefer to beat Lara at this stage?

    Crawford as he seems more technically sound. Both would beat Lara at this stage of his career, but if I had to pick one it would be Terence. I wonder if he'd go southpaw at all if they fought

      Both.... Lara is an excellent boxer but the killer instinct in Crawford beats him and Spence power and boxing abilities does as well IMO

        Yeah this, they're in their primes and elite at Welter, he's not and I don't think he's part of the "elite" at 154 anymore either.

          Paul Williams, Canelo, and Jarrett Hurd all won disputed decisions against Lara, and all three of those guys are bigger and stronger than Spence, which is what helped them edge decisions over Lara who was a more skilled boxer than all of them.

          I think that Crawford has a better chance than Spence because it will be a chess match, and Spence won't be able to bully Lara the way he does guys at 147.

            I actually think Lara would be able to out box Crawford from the outside. For Crawford to win, he will have to try to walk Lara down and land some big shots on him. Can Crawford do that at 154? Would be intriguing for sure.

              I love Paul Williams but he received a gift in that fight. Canelo edged it because Lara over-moved and Jarrett Hurd had to go through hell to edge that fight.

              I think that both Spence and Crawford would engage in chess matches against Lara.

                They both easily beat him and Spence beats him a bit easier. Lara just is not that good anymore and he is now fighting cherry picks fight after fight.

                  Both would beat him at this point, Lara's best days are far behind him

                  If they were all in their prime, I'd give Crawford the best chance to win as he's more versatile than Spence, but Lara outboxes both of them imo

                  Prime Lara was extremely slick, very skilled, that's why Floyd ducked him and only Canelo was able to beat him, although by a very slight margin

                    Prime Lara would have a better chance vs Crawford. but Spence beats any version of Lara down.

                    this old washed up Lara today loses to both
