    Hopefully we get to see these three fighters box against each other over the next couple of years. I believe it's fair to say that Crawford, Spence and Thurman sit above Garcia and Porter in most people's welterweight rankings as the potential best 3 in the division; although I have no problems with people thinking otherwise. If those 3 are to meet and fight one another who will come out on top, as the top dog and King of the 147 division?

    I’m not gonna sleep on Thurman if he comes back and looks as good as before.

    Thurman is a stylistic nightmare for both. It wouldn't shock me in the least if he's the last man standing.

    Totally agree,Thurman has such an all round game,look how he beat Porter on the inside,wasn’t really close imo.
    He could take points off Spence for fun imo and if he went twelve rounds he’d win.
    As good as Crawford is I’m not sure he could make Thurman look poor,just too good.

    Crawford for me. I just think he's got more dimensions to his game, is the best counter puncher of the 3 and has the best defence and best movement. But both Spence and Thurman would be tough fights, especially Spence.

    Haha, not after that performance against Vargas no! Khan's hand speed is still there though however, and does take a few rounds for opponents to acclimatise to, but honestly if those 3 are on their A game I think they ice Khan out completely.

    AB is coming for all these pretenders once he puts Old Man Pac back in the grave.

    If he's fully fit, injury free and active I think Thurman beats both fighters although I think Spence gives him hell.

    As it stands if they where all to fight tomorrow I'd have to go with Spence, big Thurman fan though and a fully fit Thurman is a nightmare for Spence and Bud.

    Crawford the best welterweight, got the best IQ and ability.

    I think Spence comes out on top, Crawford runner up and Thurman fights one time early 2019 and then disappears for another 20 months or there about.

    Hope you got the sarcastic tone! Bud Crawford for me, skills pay the bills.
