    Looks like this fight probably won't ever happen but would u rather see this or josh Taylor

    Just think with the styles and even the attitudes or Taylor and Crawford the build up would be quality too genuine hard quite nasty *******s but with the skills to match. Genuine think this be better fight

    Taylor is a better fighter than Spence but Spence is much bigger, I lean towards Taylor because I feel Bud would simply out-class Spence.

    Id love to see Crawford v Taylor. Both unified 140, both can make adjustments and switch styles, both are very spiteful, both undefeated.

    Potential classic.

    Would love to see either of these fights though it's unlikely either happen now.the spence v Crawford talk has dragged on to long now for me and Crawford burning bridges with top rank makes the Taylor fight difficult to make.i would pay ppv wonga to watch the crawfish v Taylor face off...be like a damned monster movie!

    Gut feeling is Crawford but Taylor would give him his most difficult night and capable of pulling off an upset.

    A real fighting man always taking on the best and our top pound for pound man in the UK at present by a mile.

    Crawford beats Taylor fairly easily. There's nothing Taylor does that would scare bud.

    Spence would be a more difficult fight, but I still fancy Bud to win on decision by 8-4 / 7-5.

    I like Taylor, I think he’s brilliant but for me Crawford is a generational talent. I think he would pick Taylor apart.

    Great clash of styles is Taylor vs Crawford, bud is more proven and has shown different gears and can change things up if he has to. We know what Taylor can do but nobody has really taken him into tough waters apart from Prograis who is class.

    I’m going Crawford ud in a cagey fight

    At least there's a chance of bud v Taylor happening if Taylor can get into the mandatory spot...spence doesn't want any part of Crawford.

    I hate giving predictions on fights like these. Bud Spence are happy not to fight each other as the mythical p4p rankings which attract the casuals do not require them to duke it out and see who is better.

    I would favour Spence and Crawford heavily over Taylor. Spence will end up near 160 and couldn’t make 140 so there is a massive size difference. Bud too versatile and too skilled.

    Hopefully Taylor tests the waters at 147 before going straight for Bud as his body will need time to adapt.

    Thurman/Taylor would be a good fight.

    Taylor is massive for 140 and think he will be comfortable 147 and even 154 a few years. Thurman a great fight think josh would break him down and stop him late.

    The only question with Taylor is the jump up in weight,he is more than skilled enough to beat any of the top Welters.
