When it comes to Spence Vs Crawford, I'm undecided. I really don't know who's number one at WW.

    You got your money on the wrong man, Taylor gets knocked straight out.

    Unpopular opinion but wasn't impressed at all by Crawford in the Porter fight. Wouldn't be surprised if Spence outboxes him but has a late scare

    Excellent analysis. Both are great but every fighter has relative weakness. I will add that I believe I have started to see some decline in Crawford. Whilst rightfully being lauded for stopping Porter there is concern that he had real problems with this version of Porter who was already looking to retire. I just feel if Spence gets to him and he will the way the likes of Porter, Mean Machine and Gamboa have Spence will take him out. Crawford is going to try and stop Spence which is a key mistake. Spence will do to Crawford things no one has ever done to him.

    As for Boots Ennis and Ortiz my suspicion is the guys will not been fighting Spence who is bound to move up after he taxes Crawford’s ass.

    Ennis vs Spence and Crawford vs Ortiz Jr. are 50/50 fights

    Spence reminds me so much of an athletic version of Tony Margarito I’m not sure that Crawford can keep up with that pace. As you said Crawford doesn’t react well to pressure with the top talent and I don’t see Spence giving him much of a breather. One thing Crawford has is excellent finishing ability so if he gets Spence hurt he might end it but I just can’t see. Bud going Southpaw won’t be as effective as Spence is naturally a southpaw so it would just put him in harms way of Spence’s jab.
    I’d lean 55/45 to Spence overall I’m just ready for this fight to happen to close the chapter on their era and we can move on to Ennis/Ortiz

    You're gonna a have a hard time finding a fight where Crawford is not the favorite. Even Spence.

    My gut feeling tells me Crawford wants the fight more then Spence does.

    Spence is a nightmare for anyone that stands right in front of him. Spence is very dangerous when he can just pound away and throw his combination like on a heavy bag.

    But a fighter with good footwork can beat Spence I believe.

    Taylor is undisputed champion, he doesn't need to do ****.

    Prograis lost.

    He needs to quit bitching about it.

    H2h Crawford might be slightly better than Spence. But in terms of record Spence is much higher so imo Spence is still ahead not to mention Spence has more belts.

    Prograis lost at taylor's backyard in a split decision.

    Man, we all know in this forum what it means.

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to taylor having the guts to fight crawford at ww. Taylor's funeral will be really emotive, and you will be able to hug his nuts for the last time. It will be always remembered.

    Spence is the best Welterweight in the world and I am confident he stops Bud Crawford. As for Ennis and Ortiz we don’t need Spence to ruin them.
