I would agree on Spence winning, and it would be a great fight to watch. Crawford would have to move up though, as Spence is a big welterweight. Both will be a handful for any welter in the game today.

Spence wins this one by late tko.

... or not so late one.

Who wins? Probably Spence, naturally bigger, taller, stronger and more powerful guy.
Talent wise, I've got both on a similar level with Crawford obviously the more experienced at world level and has achieved more so far.

I don't know who I rate more highly or who I think will go on to do more in the sport. I think that is a more interesting question to be honest and I'm perhaps leaning towards Crawford, who I think is the more complete fighter.

But head to head, probably Spence.
I also don't think timing matter too much, If Crawford waits a few years to adapt to WW, Spence will have improved and gained top level experience. If he tries to catch him earlier in his career, before he's faced top level opponents, Crawford won't get the chance to acclimatise to WW (hell he hasn't had a real test at LWW yet)
So for me Spence probably by stoppage.
