    Plenty of guys with spence's style but not his power. Horn for example, high pressure fighter, face over the lead leg. I see trouble for spence just based on style. Crawfords boxing is clearly superior.

    Spence actually knows how to throw meaningful punches and his accuracy is top notch especially hes also alot sharper, his body punching is deadly, Horns technique on his right hand was abysmal, he just launches himself at the target.

    spence is too deliberate having to set and punch, no doubt the power is there, but will crawford be there. crawfords foot work and hand speed are a bit much for spences style. but in boxing one punch is all it takes. still crawford has enough pop to keep spence honest. I favor crawford.

    Finally!!! Someone with half a frikken brain. I could not agree more and im glad you mentioned Thurman also. Most people on here seem to think Spence beats Crawford and destroys Thurman because hes been hurt to the body a couple times in 30 fights. Thurman when healthy is a serious problem for any WW and his movement will give Spence trouble and when Spence cuts the ring off the artillary will be flying in both directions because Thurman has the power to hurt anyone at WW.

    I rather see Spence fight a full fledged welterweight champ first.

    Crawford.

    I tend to go with the more skilled boxer. There's always that chance he gets caught with that one big shot . . . but I wouldn't count on it. 9 times out of 10 it doesn't happen.

    Crawford will light Spence up and stop him.

    This reminds me of the predictions before the Brook fight. Maybe because they are the same predictions.

    Spence by stoppage.

    I got Spence his body attack will be too much for Crawford it will slow Crawford down. Crawford's willing to go to war with everyone, the dog in him, will be his undoing once he starts to slow down and Spence will start to get the better of him in the exchanges. Spence by UD or late round TKO.
