    I think if prime thurman was up against Bud, Bud would still win but it would go the distance. It will be the first he has a close fight but still wins. I think if the fight were to happen, the result would be 7-5 for Bud. Shawn porter took him to the deep waters until the 10th round and I think thurman could go further with his style.

    Here are two videos that prove my point:

    In the video below, bud says that Keith thurman is the man at 147 and not spence. He even said the eye test can lie to you which is some crazy foreshadowing.

    This video is basically Bud's coach telling us that out of spence, porter, and thurman, thurman is the hardest fight for bud.

    I just wish we got to see prime thurman vs crawford since it wouldn't have been a massacre but instead a close and competitive fight.

    Styles make fights.

    Any version of Spence slaughters Thurman

    Thurman could be more competitive than Spence mostly because Thurman doesnt fight, he boxes. More movement drags the fight on.

    Make no mistake, Bud brutally stops Thurman also or he quits.

    I agree, Thurman is unorthodox and Bud doesnt like that

    Yes he did you’re right there. Damaged goods from GGG. However, That doesn’t make a good case for Spence being a good win for Crawford then does it since Brook is probably one of Spence best wins

    and what round will he get stopped? he stopped spence in the 9th (realistically it should have been 8th) and porter in the 10th. And like i said, even bud's coach knows thurman is the hardest out of the 3 and he knows bud more than any of us here do

    Not convinced Crawford even beats a prime Thurman - Crawfords resume has more holes than Swiss cheese

    You’re only as good as who you beat - a lot of Crawfords opposition has been timed well

    its not like we are delusional or anything when even his coach and crawford himself agrees that thurman would be tougher than spence. And hes also said to be tougher than porter who made it a close fight up until the 10th. Its possible prime thurman edges out a decision.

    Not even close. Thurman was on q.ueer street by Josesito Lopez and Luis Collazo.

    Bud murders that boy. 6 or less
