I think I'm going to go to that fight. Mikey is still underrated. He's top 5 or 6 for sure. One fight Spence would win easily is Thurman.

Bottom line is TC has a good resume @ 140 with good wins over solid guys like Postol, Diaz and Dulorme. At 147 TC beat two undefeated fighters in their prime in Horn and Benavidez. On the other hand Spence has one solid win against Brook. The problem with Brook is he was brutalized by GGG at 160 and then he had to came down at 147 for Spence.
Although I think Spence is a very strong fighter , he won't be able to bulldoze TC because TC is a great matador with great angles, footwork and reflexes. Also TC has the ability to read his opponent and then adjust like FMJ.
Crawford can bloody scrap as well man! That often gets overlooked! He can box with the best of them
and he can fight with the best of them! Love watching him box, I love watching him scrap it out and I love watching him mix it up!! I must admit that I'm a bit of a fan boy but I just love watching this guy fight and make things happen! Phenomenal talent! He won't be beaten on skill! He'll only be bettered on size, strength or mistakes and he doesn't make a lot of them!
TC is a real dog inside the ring. He's a dominating fighter no doubt.

Good breakdown. Will be interesting watching Spence Garcia. Right now I’d favour Crawford 60/40 to beat Spence.

Not sure what they were weighing during that but Spence looked noticeably bigger.
I hope I'm wrong but something tells me we won't be seeing that fight next year.
It has to happen next year or there's something far far wrong with our sport man!
No one at 147 wants to fight and open it up they don't.

Thurman would probably have a rematch with Porter then he'd take an indeterminate period of layoff. Spence and TC would be forced to face each other because no top ww would fight them.

If 147 aren't careful they will lose elite status, they have to fight.
