    IMO, it's Crawford hands down. But I do think Spence is overall the better fighter.

    Crawford is a 3 division champ. The list of guys who did that from 135 to 147 is short.

    Crawford imo.

    Altough coming up and winning the title in different weights is always more impressive it s wirth to note the lightweight and junior welterweight divisions he reigned in were weak.
    Spence has like 2-3 good wins all his career.

    Spence has the better resume. With Crawford we keep asking who has he fought?

    I don’t think you’re the sharpest knife in the drawer. Making it to the top of three divisions is, in fact, difficult. And 147 is historically the best division.

    Take Egidijus Kava..., Khan, Brook and Horn out of the primary list, they were all declined (and Horn simply wasn't good). Shawn Porter is actually Crawford's best win, you can toss up Porter or Brook (who also beat Porter) as Spence's best win. Beyond that, the opponents list of Spence shades Crawfrord's lists, Everyone in tier one is a former world champion, former unified champion and/or was respectively at least top 5 when Spence beat them.

    Spence's resume is better.

    You're very stupid, list me the opponents instead of saying "well ermm, those divisions were tough, so yeah"
    Mean Machine, Horn and Brook that Crawford fought all beat Fat LW Mikey Garcia jumping up 2 weight classes and debuting at 147

    At 147 clearly Spence

    That will change when Crawford beats him

    Crawford has the better overall resume and Spence has the better resume at welterweight.

    I think Spence personally but the argument is moot. They need to fight and the winner then has the better resume
