    How exactly?

    Thurman and Spence both have elite level wins at 147, where as Crawford has Horn...

    We learned nothing from the Horn fight. Until Crawford defeats an elite fighter in his prime, like Spence, we won't know how good Crawford is. I would make Spence the favorite. But if you look at the other top welterweights I think Crawford probably beats them. Thurman doesn't want to be there. Garcia is on the downward slope. Porter is just a mauler and busy with great heart, not that talented. I think Crawford does well at this weight.

    Maybe its because I'm a fan of Kell but i think Spences beat down pf Brook in Sheffield is the better win by a distance.

    I favor both over Thurman bit lean towards Spence over Crawford

    I don't know why Thurman is seen as an underdog? He is the faster, more athletic, more power, and better mover compared to both.

    Both are hungrier and I don't think his pot shotting style is well suited to them stylistically. Just my opinion.

    Before Crawford fights Spence, I'd like to see them get rid of Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, and Keith Thurman first. These 3 have been hogging up the spotlight with their round robin media/post fight antics. Nobody wants to keep seeing these losers fight each other over and over. I don't even care who wins between Garcia/Porter, they're just gonna either fight each again or fight Thurman again.

    Watching Crawford and Spence dispose of them (for good) would be great for boxing.

    Styles make fights. Ali loses to Frazier and Norton, Frazier and Norton lose to Foreman, Foreman loses to Ali.

    Hell no if was Jeff Horn!!! Stop it. I want Crawford to succeed in the division but it was Jeff Horn. Garcia beats him rather easily.

    The way I see it there is no top welterweight in the world until Spence and Crawford fight for it.

    I can't imagine Thurman wants anything to do with either of those guys. Not sure how many fights that dude has left in him anyway.
