    I'd have to say Crawford has more to his arsenal.

    Spence will beat this guy up Crawford is small and old Spence has huge athleticism on him and skill wise is closer than anyone crawfrods fought it'll be too much not a hard fight to pick Crawford too small for him it's like a closer version of lomachenko rigo

    Bud is the more pure skilled fighter but the raw physical/athletic attributes go in favour of Spence.

    I picked Crawford bc I am answering the question honestly even though Spence is my fav active fighter and I’m rooting for and betting on Spence.

    I don’t know I watched some FightHype.com videos and Virgil Hunter claimed how physically strong Crawford is. So Spence might not be physically stronger.

    Also someone else in the interviews said that Spence has more tools then people have seen of him, he just had not have to use them yet.

    I watched the Crawford vs Gamboa fight yesterday and some of the shots that Gamboa hit Crawford with, Spence for Crawford’s sake better don’t hit him with those shots.

    I think Crawford has more tools but I don’t know if he will be able to apply them to Spence.

    Yeah I agree & one thing is knowing Errol he is training for his life on this one so I see both guys going next level just by motivation alone.

    Crawford is definitely the more versatile and complete fighter. I don't really think that's up for debate. But what Spence is so good at is grinding guys down and out lasting them down the stretch, he's a very physical fighter and if he can force Crawford into a fight where he can make that count then he can maybe wear down Crawford. But that's a big if.

    Crawford...

    But Spence has a bigger hammer and will make Crawford drop his toolbox and squirm on the canvas trying to pick it back up.

    Yep, I suspect Spence will take too much in the middle phase of the fight and not be in a position to do what he usually does and take over in the last 3rd of the fight.

    It's one thing to walk through the best shots of someone like Brook but Crawford hits harder than anyone else Spence has fought. I don't think he'll be able to shake of the hard counters like he has with other fighters.

    Bud's a better fighter, and when the clash begins Crawford will be able to adjust far more than Spence.

    Just my opinion. Crawford is gonna beat the **** outta Spence. Based on watching both fighters for many years. Crawford gets angry the later the fight goes. Spence gets going a bit but also tagged and wobbled.
