I dont agree with most of the people here. I think that crawford would beat spence, and that thurman is a bigger threat for crawford. Spence goes "full wild" way too often, crawford would make him pay it really really hard, crawford is no brook. Thurman, on the other hand, has an incredible ring IQ, and I think he could manage to get an UD. Though, I would pick crawfor to win too.
With all due respect, by making that statement you must have never seen Spence fight. Spence is fundamentally sound (good feet positioning, excellent body work, knows how to cut off the ring, etc) and never break from the fundamentals even when things aren't going well. Personally I think Brook beats Crawford...you act like Brook is a bum or something. In round 2 against GGG, he was timing and tagging GGG until GGG broke his orbital eye socket. Brook was beating Spence but Spence never broke from the fundamentals and finally broke Brook will (and his other orbital eye socket). Spence gave Floyd a black eye, made Broner cry (Broner sucks now but still) and went tit for tat with 154 lb Jermell Charlo in sparring. Spence batters Crawford, Brook beats Crawford....everyone else at 147, Bud beats.
I believe he'll have trouble with Spence and Thurman. An exciting fight will be him and Danny Garcia. I think he boxes porter.
I just think Spence still has flaws and Brook was for me winning upto the eye issue after 6 rounds. Crawford will just out box spence to much. Problem is to deter big WW you need to punch HARD does crawford carry power to WW as those guys are coming down from 160+ to make 147. They will have punch resistence so its very 50/50 if crawford can be competitive.
forget about Danny "cherry picker" garcia he will NOT even mention crawford FFS. He will not fight anyone like crawford.
Oh man, yes he broke the fundamentals. All night long actually. And no, crawford is way way better than brook, by far. A black eye? broner? a sparring session? wow! dont tell me more!!1!1!11! I buy it!!1!11!.... NO.
