    Brook would beat him if his eye held up. Other than that I think Spence stops them all other than Crawford.

    Sorry guys. To me he is good fighter but we still don't know how good.
    Untested. Spence has yet to fight real A class fighters/champion to be regarded this high.

    He's already fought the best, albeit he benefited from a fortunate injury, he was losing to Brook but he wasn't outclassed.
    He deserves to be viewed highly just because of that performance. Nobody else comes close to Brook.

    I still think Brook would have won against him if he didn't totally gas too. Not to say it wasn't an impressive win for Spence who deservedly got the win.

    Crawford wouldn't have that issue, IMO. But it's an amazing fight and I can only hope we get to see it.

    You think Garcia, porter, broner, and Vargas go the distance but you need to see more on Crawford at 147.
    Crawford prob stops all the names you listed.

    I don’t think Spence is ready for Crawford yet and not the other way around.

    Crawford has the skill and speed to be a threat to Spence or anybody at 147 for that matter, but his power seemed almost non existent against Horn and Byrd stopped Horn from roughhousing Crawford. I need to see Crawford against a better opponent than Horn to determine if he has any decent stopping power at 147 or if he's featherfisted and I need to see how he responds at 147 against somebody that can actually punch.

    Also, Garcia and Porter already went 12 with Thurman, who is a much better puncher than Spence. Vargas went 12 with a past prime PAC, who later got roughhoused by Horn, but still showed decent power. Broner went 12 with Maidana, who applies pressure better than Spence and has a better gas tank.

    He broke him down and stopped him, what you mean his power was non existent?
    Byrd stopped horn from rough housing? Crawford woulda roughed horn up. You gotta be kidding. Thurman a better puncher then Spence......ok, you are clearly trying to get a rise.
    I’d bet money Spence or crawford stop Thurman. Crawford would ko porter the easiest. That is just a bad style matchup period.
    Maidana shouldn’t be mentioned in the same sentence as terry or Errol.

    My point was that if PAC would've had Byrd as the referee against Horn he also would've got a TKO win. PAC in Australia had to fight through Horn's elbows and Horn would consistently headbutt PAC on the ropes, which is what made it a competitive fight. Byrd forced Horn to fight Crawford clean. Horn can't box, so under those conditions Porter, Thurman, Vargas, Garcia, or even Broner would beat Horn just as easily.

    However, I'd argue that Thurman would've destroyed Horn in the 3-4 rounds as would Spence or Garcia.

    Also, who have Crawford or Spence beat to say they beat Thurman?

    Crawford beat Horn, who was forced to box clean. If Crawford demolished Horn in Australia under the same conditions PAC had to deal with that would've been more impressive. Spence's best win was over Brook, who is a good fighter, but was damaged goods after the GGG fight. But, even before the GGG fight Brook was never the best at 147. He was a good fighter that was a titleholder, which doesn't always mean much, since even Sadam Ali was a titleholder. Brook would've lost to Bradley, PAC, Thurman, Garcia, and also very possible that Vargas would've beaten him as well.
