Crawford easily, probably by corner stoppage too.
Tszyu was an exceptionally dangerous puncher, yet this guy is just too hard to hit.
Tszyu was also quite easy to hit and this just would not miss.
Tszyu would be rescued by Lewis in about 8-9 rounds of a fairly entertaining, but one sided, affair

I can see that. Though, laser-like straight right hand down the pipe would be something for Crawford to look out for. Tszyu is capable of masterfully setting this shot up. And Terence can be somewhat vulnerable to this very shot (especially, when fighting out of southpaw stance).

That said, I favour Crawford here as well. I think, it would've been a tense type of fight in the early goings. With Tszyu having nice single moments here and there. But then Crawford does what he does best, with adjusting and gradually taking over the fight.

Late round stoppage is possible, as soon as Crawford finds his way in, as Tszyu tires.
