    He may never be ready for Crawford. Mind most never will. Will go so far as to say Crawford will defeat Thurman comprehensively and the battle for the ages will be between him and Erroll Spence Jr.

    Quite possibly. But all I'm saying is that it makes no sense to put a 10 fight prospect against a top p4p star like Crawford. He might never become good enough to beat Crawford but regardless, let's see how far he goes.

    If Crawford moves up next there's no reason he can't win a world title at some point.

    I'm not so sure about Crawford vs Thurman as you are, but I rate Spence Jr very highly and would pick him over Crawford at 147lb as long as Spence can keep making weight OK.

    Taylor is arguably more impressive than Crawford was after only 10 fights. He's not anywhere near his level yet but might get there one day if he keeps progressing.

    Crawford's not ready for the Scotsman. I predict he'll move up to 147 to duck him.
