    Even after Crawford became undisputed at 140, then bud moves to 147 and makes horn look like a amateur, because he made it look soo easy everybody was like pacquiao's too old for him blah blah. But, pacquiao stops a washed up matthysse and beats a gate keeper broner and now all of a sudden people want a Spence vs Pacquiao.

    I know it's scary Crawford is embarrassing champions, outclassing experienced fighters and putting Losses on undefeated fighters.

    If that same Mikey Garcia saturday fought Crawford he would have been stopped, Spence smothered alot of his punches by just throwing, but Crawford would have sat down on his punches with precision and team garcia would have had no choice but to stop it.

    We haven't even seen the best of Crawford, but we saw the best of Spence and he landed 237 power punches on a guy moving up and couldn't get him out of there.

    Mikey Garcia was just trying to land one shot all night and all that showed was he's not ready for the big spotlight, because he froze up and makes me believe he may have lost against lomachenko, but he decided to take a payday with spence.

    I guess the point I'm trying to make is how boxing media make it seem like Crawford doesn't exist at welterweight. I have Crawford, Spence and Thurman as the most skilled, but I put Crawford above them, because he has more dimensions to his style.

    Hey man I agree I've seen the hype on Spence to a certain degree I agree with you on crawford. Thing is it's basically crawfords fault he ain't being recognized man. The dude has no personality, he dosent promote himself and arum does a sucky job at promoting him. And thats because I really like crawford man. I like crawford more than Spence . The thing is also Spence .called out Manny a known name . Spence just gained some Mexican fanbase by beating Mikey . Spences name is always thrown out their with Canelo . On a reality point Spence is more of a draw ,he lives in Dallas were they support him. And he's got more opportunities than crawford. Crawford is a rare talent that we only see once in a while. And come on man everyone mostly on this forum dislikes crawford for some reason and you know it.

    Crawford would have left mikey with a speech impediment. Hard old school ass beating.

    That being said, Spence is getting all the attention because he's basking in the limelight of a PPV win. Crawford will enjoy that after Khan's execution on ESPN PPV.

    I dont know who ESPN can dig up as interesting opponents for Crawford at this point however. That's why Spence is going to surpass him in popularity very soon.

    Thurman, Pacquiao, Porter and Danny Garcia are all potential dance partners for Spence in 2019 and 2020. I don't believe this will ever be settled in the ring. PBC fights their guys twice per year only. This won't happen before 2021 and im sure Spence is at 154 by then.

    I agree that Crawford is the most skillful welterweight however he deserves lots of criticism for re-signing with Top Rank. Crawford is a top welterweight, if you're a top welterweight you want to fight the best so if you're a free agent like Crawford was back in September 2018 are you going to sign with Al Haymon who has the best fighters in the division in his stable (Spence, Garcia, Porter, Thurman etc) or are you going to sign with Bob Arum?!

    Crawford could off off fought two of these above mentioned guys (or Pac-Man) instead he's wasting his time fighting José Benavidez Jr. and Amir Khan.

    This. I also agree that Crawford ability wise is most likely the best, but his resume at 147 is trash. Benavidez was a former roommate of mine and I still consider him a friend, but he had no business being in there with Crawford.
