    Are Crawfords best days behind him?Will Spence rank higher if he beats 35 yo Bud?

    Crawford is about to turn 34 yrs old,& his best wins are at 135-140. Spence is 30 but his best wins are all at ww. I have always believed my man Spence beats overhyped Crawford,& assuming he does but Buds 35,will he get credit for a close win over 35 yr o Bud? Or will ppl say he aged him& claim a younger Bud would've won like they do ggg,or pac? I feel like everyone takes for granted Buds age,& that he wasted his best yrs at Top Rank already sitting on the shelf.

    Why wouldn't get get credit? He already gets too much credit for doing nothing, most people have him as a top 5 p4p fighter even though he's never moved up in weight, never beaten a p4p fighter, been in a few competitive fights with guys who aren't p4p righters. People who rank him top 3 p4p already give him credit and if h beats Bud id be the first p4p fighter he ever beat in his career, only difference is Bud's win would be way more impressive cuz he went up 2 weight classes to do it.

      So it sounds like he wouldn't get full credit, Because as you're already saying "he didn't move up 2 divisions",that doesn't sound like full credit. Anyways, would you accept that he should be ranked higher career wise if he beats Bud?

        Spence is going to build a great resume of Brook from 160lb’s, Mikey from 135, Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia, maybe topped off with a 43 yr old Pacquiao and a passed it Crawford. He won’t fight Charlo as he said, there’s nothing worthwhile at 154 and he’ll probably end his career after getting his sht pushed in by Boots or some rando. He’ll have built a legit Mayweather-esque resume, if he can stay undefeated he might be considered an ATG.

            Not at all.
            Bud hasnt taken alot of damage throughout his career and hes ALWAYS stayed in shape between fights.
            Crawford is s fresh 34.
            Spence has alot more damage in his fights and out of it.

              Crawford is at his peak right now but the fight needs to happen soon like this year or next latest.

                If Spence beats Bud he's #1 p4p, no doubt. It's gotta be a clear clear win though, no Canelo vs. GGG bull****.

                  He won't beat him anyway, and he'll probably get knocked out imo.

                    Would you still give Spence full credit if Buds 35 when they fight? And would that automatically make him rank higher,or would Buds work win out overall?
