    Bud is a great Crawford, deserves his P4P ranking

    Not his fault 135/140 were not very strong when he was there, he did what he could

    He's going to dominate Horn, as he should, then dominate Benavidez, as he should. Then comes this mass hype, when he beat two average 147s

    While Bud isn't a small guy, he is maxed out at 147. While the top 147s IMO are naturally bigger guys who will all end up at 160 one day...

    I saw Bud get hurt by a career 126 in Gamboa...

    Bud Vs Porter- 50-50 for me, Porter is a lot bigger/stronger, fights rough and rugged. He will pressure the crap out of Bud

    Bud vs Keith- I lean 60/40 Keith. Again, Keith is the bigger guy and more proven...

    Bud vs Spence - 70-30 Spence... Spence has huge power and IMo wears Bud down...

    I can see Bud beating the brakes off guys like Khan & Garcia, guys who also moved up BUT Crawford way more skilled then them...

    Porter
    Spence
    Keith

    All very, very tough match ups for him...

    Unless you think Bud is at the level of Pac/Floyd, who were so good they beat way bigger guys no prob

    Even a guy like Brook, if he was still at 147, I would give a good shot to beat him

    Crawford is afraid of Porter, Spence, Thurman if Thurman comes back. Don't know if he will fight Garcia.............but Porter and Spence scare the hell out of him...................did you see Crawford get weak in the knees when Porter got near him? I though Crawford was going to faint! Porter is too strong and rough for Crawford.

    Cmon.bro lol

    You know too much about BOX to think Horn has a shot

    Size means nothing when the other guy is 10x more skilled

    Horn might win the 1st rd, thats bout it

    Don't think hes scared

    Bud is a cocky SOB he probably thinks he beats em all

    I will say this, he would be competitive with all them before eventually being outmatched physically

    Just don’t bring up any excuse if Horn loses, can we agree on that? Lol

    May the best man win and hopefully the win conclusively like a UD or stoppage.

    Only guy that I would favour over Crawford is Spence, everyone else whilst would give him tough fights I couldn’t back them over him.

    Lol a guy like Brook as if he is a scrub, Brook beats all the 147 guys bar spence. He already beat Porter, Danny hasn’t beat one top 10 fighter at 147, Crawford vs Brook is a 50-50.

    Same. For me Porter gives anybody a tough night's work but Crawford is too skilled and gets a clear decision, something like 8-4. Thurman would be very close if he was active but he isn't and his heart doesn't seem to be in it any more. Spence is the complete package for me, not quite as skilled as Crawford but has the size, power and great shot selection to win.
