If Spence defeats Thurman, will Spence vs Crawford be the biggest Welterweight fight?

Does everyone think it's a given that Spence beats Thurman? I think that's a harder fight to call than Crawford-Pac.

Originally posted by -Kev- View PostI feel you. They're fresh in our minds though. We saw Crawford beat up on Diaz and we just saw Spence pummel Brook. So it's easy to want those two to fight. Thurman beat a very durable, hard to stop DSG, who if anything has a granite chin and he won an SD. So Thurman looks like the weakest link. In reality though, DSG is a little harder to look good against than people want to think. He's been in some rough fights but his style as well as his opponents style makes for those rough fights. Danny seems to fight at his opponents level most of the time and can't really fight above it, which results in close fights. While Spence would beat DSG imo, i'm not convinced that he would slaughter him or anything like that, just outbox him.
I could be wrong but I just feel like a Crawford/Spence showdown would be more conducive to fireworks than Thurman/Spence

Shit, Keith vs Spence should be seen as a MEGAFIGHT. I don't really know why it isn't. If Spence gets by Thurman he will want Pac or Crawford. Man there are enough opponents that whoever ends up on top will have a HOF ATG resume.

It happened to Sergio Martinez before GGG. Martinez was the little known, weak resume guy that people loved until his resume became better, they didn't like him anymore.
This was Spence's first big win, time move everyone else to the side. To me Thurman is still a WW favorite. He's probably loving it though, people are really underrating his skills as a "mover" and he has great footwork and power. For all we know, he could go in there and outbox Spence.
