Will Crawford take over 147?

He will beat Spence, to be fair I had Brook beating spence fairly comfortably up untill the knockout. People give Spence too much credit for that fight, he fough a one eyed Brook and had massive trouble beating him, before his eye socket fractured, Brook was dominating Spence.

 

Crawford is gonna rule 147... and hes going to make spence look like a amateur lol.. to much talent in Crawford. Thurman and porter will be tougher then spence.

 

Thurman vs Crawford is gonna be one hell of a fight.

 

No, too small and hasn't beaten the quality of opponent people think.

I mean there are people on this forum who rate him above Andre Ward which is RIDICULOUS considering Ward has 3 prime elite wins vs Kovalev, Kessler, Froch. Crawford has yet to beat a fighter of that calibre and tbh even if he beats Thurman and Spence which he WON'T, he still wouldn't have wins as good.

Crawford is P4P #2 ATM for me behind Ward and just in front of Loma, but he won't beat Spence or Thurman or Brook. If he does he is a VERY special fighter indeed and can be ranked alongside Mayweather, Pacquiao, Calzaghe, Marquez and Ward as the best fighters of the era.

 

Don't go there man. Ward is in no way p4p number 1, dirty cheating fighrer. Lost twice to Kovalev whom I also dislike. This is the problem with this sport, people forget controversy too quickly. 85% of the population had Kovalev winning the first fight and the 2nd fight was a disgrace, 6 low blows, 3 of them being proper power punches.

 

I think he will. Him and Spence will be the big dogs in that division and all the talk will be when are they guna face up to each other. Im becoming a real big fan of Spence but Crawford looks not far off absolutely top drawer elite and all round complete fighter.

 

His only test will be spence.
Everybody else is a knockout victim.

 

I have him losing to Spence and 50/50 against Thurman everyone else he should be able to beat.

 

I can see Crawford beating Thurman, Horn, Manny & Danny but not sure about Spence. Crawford vs Spence is a dream fight.

 

Maybe we should wait to see if he can beat anyone in the top 5 before crowning him king of the division.

 

I'd not throw him in with Thurman just yet. It'll be like throwing Duran at Hagler.
I'd like to see him face DG first, like a tune up fight at to see how well he can dish out punishment to somebody durable. I think he handles DG without any hiccups. Than I'll have him face Porter, to see how can can handle himself vs a quick aggressive fighter at the weight. Pass that test(Which I think he will) than I'd like to see him in there with the Spence - Thurman winner.

 

He outboxed Kovalev in pretty much every department in the 2nd fight, it was a comprehensive victory even without the low blows which I admit there were some.

 

Stop it. That fight went exactly as I said it would. Spence broke Brook down with a vicious body attack which slowed Brook down and lead to him being able to tee off on that eye. The fight was close until about round 7 then Spence started to pull away and took over. It was a good win he went to the UK and beat Brook and that wasn't the eye that was damaged by GGG it was the other.
