I think Thurman would be a more difficult fight for Crawford than Spence.

    He's got the best resume at WELTERWEIGHT, you can't argue that... to be the man you have to beat the man.

    This. Crawford's durability is very suspect and his defense needs a lot of work. One thing I would like to see Crawford not do anymore is fighting as a southpaw against elite fighters. He'd be asking for a right hand from Thurman and unlike Gamboa Thurman would knock Crawford out if he lands a flush right hand. Crawford's team egging him on to be a switchhitter are going to get him killed in the ring when he starts fighting guys like Thurman, Spence, Garcia, and Porter.

    I like Thurman, and in his peak he may have competed well with Spence and Crawford, but I think his inactivity will be his undoing.

    This. Thurman's only problem is his inactivity.
