I think Thurman would be a more difficult fight for Crawford than Spence.

[MDPopescu]

The majority of posters are sleeping on Thurman now. If he comes back and is in form he has a major shot to beat both.

Thurman really is very good, but he only beat Danny and Porter -- who aren't among the best skilled fighters in the history of the division... Thurman didn't fight Brook -- who many rated as the best WW, back in 2016...

Thurman swings wide . Can be hurt to body. Inactive. Isnt aa hungry as spence and crawford imo

Crawford found it very easy to time an awkward guy like horn

He beats thurman for sure

Thurman had close fights with porter and garcia

yes... Thurman was 7-5 on all the scorecards vs Porter, and he was 8-4, 7-5 and 5-7 vs Danny

I think Spence is the best, Crawford is the 2nd best and Thurman is the 3rd best.

yes, Spence looks the strongest, but he beat a Brook who came after a KO, a broken jaw, and two weight divisions North...

thurman is all athleticism, his skills are so fking overrated on here, he looks sloppy in every damn fight

crawford would beat thurman and spence, you guys will see

this kid has that special aura to him, spence and thurman never had that

... it is true that Crawford holds skills rarely seen in this sport, but I wouldn't go exactly "metaphysically" on these...

Anyone who thinks thurman is a threat to the gods is a hater point blank

[MDPopescu]

... people here have the tendency to forget that, up to now, Spence fought above 147 in 13 out of his 23 fights...

[FLY TY]

Thurman 8-4 Sporter and 9-3 Garcia. Those fights were not close.

He beat both by a round or 2...glad you aren't a judge.

Also, I'm tired of telling you cats, Spence gets hit LESS than Thurman!

Why do people say this? Thurman is one of the hardest hitting welterweights and has just as much power than Thurman if not more. A common opponent even said Thurman hits harder..notice Spence hardly just one punch knocks out a guy..this is silly. Thurman used to be a 154 fighter it's silly to think he wouldn't be able to hurt Spence.

You mean the common opponent that Spence stopped in 6, but went the distance with Thurman?

Different fighting styles aren't indicative of power all the times.
Aggression and willingness to take a punch to get your offense off helps. Jermall Charlo undoubtedly hits harder than Hurd yet he went 12 with Trout and Hurd stopped him.

It's very possible Thurman may match up against Crawford better than Spence.

Did not know that. Where did you get the info??

That isn't uncommon. A lot of boxers do that early on in their careers.

... of course... he wasn't campaigning for a WW belt...

... he started making 147 regularly after the Heerden fight (in Sep 2015) when he came at 156 1/2 on the scales...

[bojangles1987]

I like Keith but he is not more skilled than Crawford. He throws sloppier punches, doesn't have the same variety, isn't quite as sharp a counter puncher, can't fight inside nearly as well, and isn't as good defensively. Crawford is also a lot more versatile.

Crawford's better in just about every area regarding skill.
