    Severely weight drained and shot Kell just took Spence deep. People talk about the size differential, but you must remember that Crawford rehydrated from 139 to 158 in the Diaz fight. If Crawford goes up to 147, he's coming in at 165+... And Spence tonight looked at least 165, but not heavier than 170. The size differential would be negligible.

    I don't think that at all. I think that TC is relying on a lot of ablities at 140 that won't transfer to 147. He might not be able to carry that extra 7 lbs as well either. I think TC is a better boxer than Spence. But Spence showed he can maul and punch hard enough to make a more skilled boxer crumble.

    Crawford's punches appear to be getting heavier and heavier each time out. It'll carry.

    I think Crawford would take a few fights at 147 to see how it goes at that weight before he would face Spence.

    Crawford, Spence, and Loma are my top 3 talents in boxing right now. Also Brook only won 2 rounds. Spence was winning 5-2 on my cards. Spence is just too big for Crawford at 147.

    Crawford is 158 whilst fighting @ 140. @ 147, he'll be 165+.

    Weight isn't everything. Spence is taller, longer, and just has a bigger frame. I mean Spence struggles to make 147, Crawford makes 140 with ease.

    I love Crawford but spence is just too big and strong for him. He will rough him up and take his legs away with those body shots. Also the dog in crawford which is a great assest against most would be his undoing against a guy like spence who will punish him in the exchanges. With that said if Crawford beats spence he truly is a special fighter.

    All these guys gonna end up in 154/160, spence maybe even 168. Spence relies heavily on his size.

    It's funny the standards we hold for some fighters, we see guys move up 3 or even 10 weight divisions and expect them to do more. Yet 1 weight class for these guys is far too much.

    I think a Spence-Crawford match up is an intriguing fight. Crawford has a slightly sturdier frame at 5'8" but gives up reach. They both bang and both can be hit. Ultimately, I think it comes down to who can endure the most damage. On two occasions I have seen Crawford get buzzed from punches that didn't look that hard. For this reason, I give Spence the nod, by KO. Either way, I think the fight ends in a KO.
