    I think Spence has all the physical/talent advantages but Crawford is smarter. (not to say that Spence is dumb by any means, but Crawford is an evil genius in there)

    For the record, all of you guys that are picking Spence to beat Crawford, you're totally off base, Bud beats him fairly easily, he'd play it safe and UD him or stop him late, Bud feasts on southpaws.

    Stylistically Thurman is actually the guy that will give both of them hell, not saying he'd beat both of them, but he might.

    everything here revolves around opinion. all the info i gather through watching these fights tells me spence is the best welter in the world and crawford is not strong enough or skilled enough to overcome the sum of the obstacle. you obviously added up what you gathered and came up with a different result, so now we wait to see who is better at interpreting what they see. if im wrong, i'll be the first to admit it.

    Who's hating now? You're the one that's saying Spence would beat down Crawford, I'm saying, hell no. Had Brook not sustained another freak eye injury, Errol would have taken his first 0 in that match, he was on his way to being outpointed by a drained tenderized GGG victim.

    You act like Spence has no ring IQ...again any fighter that give Mayweather and Charlo all they can handle in sparring isn't easy. Spence is not Indigo and if all you can take from Spence is that he a bully because he walks you down and ripes bodyshots with mean intention than yeah... that bully will Crawford.

    Even though I don't think Spence is elite yet because his body of work is not like Crawford, Kell Brook is better than anyone on Crawford resume and he broke this man eye socket (the good one).

    One Time is the dark horse I feel like everybody keeps writing off, even though he is yet to lose and has faced a hellacious schedule the last 4½ years (and lost maybe 8 rounds of 88 completed - that's one in eleven, facing nine consecutive world class foes in world title bouts or eliminators)

    Spence beats Crawford...I love Crawford but Spence is fundamentally sound. Spence is not Indongo.

    If Indongo was the second-best guy at 140, the division is weaker than we thought.

    Props to Bud tho, he did his job and cleaned out the division. Nothing left at 140 unless Mikey comes up. Otherwise, move to Welter.

    No Crawford needs to quit fighting bums and step up. Fight someone who could beat him, he needs to move up to WW or JMW and fight all those killers. Enough of these soft touches if he wants to prove he's worth a ****.

    I think I did that right :stirrpot
