    I think Crawford got a great shot, maybe even the edge. He has the much better feet of the two and is better defensively.

    Spence is just a monster on the front foot but not sure he can cut off the ring and hunt him down.

    Spence is levels above Horn so I favour Spence by TKO.

    Crawford needs a lil time to acclimate to the weight imo. He's got the skills but needs to work on his power. If they fought right now, I'd give the edge to Spence. But a year from now, I dunno.

    Spence is bigger, stronger, and more powerful than both. Spence has a better jab and he cuts off the ring better than anyone not named GGG. Spence would've stopped Horn in the early rounds. I guarantee you that.

    I think these two will avoid each other for a while, and gunning for injured/inactive Thurman and Garcias and Poerters of the division.

    Huh? He bullied the bigger fighter. Bud looked strong asf! I knew he`d be strong but he looked even stronger than i imagined. The longer Crawford is a WW the less i think Spence can beat him. I think crawford beats him if they fought next week. Just too skilled for the limited spence.

    you don't need to tell me how good Spence is, I know. He's amazing. I'm just making the counter argument. To beat him you need to be great on your toes and defensively sound. Crawford has the remedy to get it done.

    I don't know who I favour. Spence is a terminator in there. I think Crawford is just a lot 'looser' and better on his feet/upper body movement.

    I wasn't talking about his strength but his punching power. He needs a lil time to work on focusing his power for the weight. And yea, Crawford is more skilled for sure.

    He gets hit too much and he hasn't fought anyone with more power, strength, and the ability to fight on the inside. The eye test can trick you.

    Ok i got ya. I think his power is fine. Horn may be a punching bag but hes durable and tough as they come. Spence has a questionable chin that hasnt really been tested but he was hurt badly by a light hitting fighter whos name escapes and Brook seemed to buzz him a couple times with his arm punches. I think Buds power right now is fine.

    Brook hits harder than Crawford.
