Did Crawford just separate himself from Thurman and Spence?

    Or does he still have a lot to prove to be able to compete with the top guys at 147.

    They have both beaten better fighters than Horn.

    Thurman - porter, garcia
    Spence - Brook

    Crawford beats Spence. Crawford stops Thurman, Garcia, and Porter easily.

    Beating Horn doesn't tell you much. Horn had done nothing but get a gift against Pacman.

    Crawford loses badly to Spence. I'm pretty sure of that.

    Spence would stop Horn inside of 3.

    Thurman hits harder than Crawford and has faster hands. He couldnt even stop Porter and Danny. What makes you think Crawford could? Let's not forget that Danny and Shawn have the best chins in boxing outside of GGG and Canelo.

    No he needs to fight someone above C level and his own size. So far he's been feasting on C level guys who he outweighs, that won't be the case if he fights Spence who is also overrated btw. They're both good though.

    Lol! Crawford is going to school Spence badly. Spences kryptonite is a boxer with power and movement. Brook got to Spence repeatedly what do you think Crawford will do to him? lol Crawford by ko and id put money on it.

    No.

    This fight was very predictable. The only question imo was what round does Horn get stopped in.

    Spence vs Brook and Thurman vs Porter were much better wins.

    But whats exciting about this fight imo is what it potentially sets the stage for.

    NO. Thurman and Spence would have done the same thing to Horn. It was a good win for Crawford's first foray into the weight class, regardless.
