Even with the loss to Pacquiao, Thurman's still a top WW. Crawford could make a statement if he beats him.
Who wins?
Who wins?
Thurman isnt Horn or Khan.crawford kicks his arse easily. wouldn't be surprised to see it stopped in the corner in the latter rounds.
and crawford isn't an older, blown up pacman. thurman hasn't looked the best lately, in i my opinion he never looked that great. he looked to have great natural athleticism, but never really refined his punch as much as i like to see. (he throws a bit too wildly for my liking)Thurman isnt Horn or Khan.
Crawford wins regardless.
benavidez actually looks pretty solid and was undefeated at the time. and why is it that a lot of you seen to think keeping your hands up is the be all and end all of boxing? you have seen half the great boxers like ever, right?Closer fight than people expect. Crawford was getting out boxed by Jose Benavidez, a guy putting his hands down and taunting. Thurman has two healthy legs and an actual resume.
Agreed, Benavidez is solid. But he goaded Crawford into standing and trading because he was never going to be more mobile, and honestly for half the fight was getting the better of Crawford because he had Crawford playing his game. Benavidez is far less proven even before the injury than Porter or Garcia, both of which Thurman beat. Crawford has 0 wins the level of Porter or Garcia, and has shown holes and vulnerability against lesser comp. When someone can match him in an area of the game, he shows holes just like Thurman. Thurman has power, good boxing, and some decent movement. He's not folding against Crawford.benavidez actually looks pretty solid and was undefeated at the time. and why is it that a lot of you seen to think keeping your hands up is the be all and end all of boxing? you have seen half the great boxers like ever, right?
don't agree. it think thurman is on the slide and i also think crawford gives spence a good fight. (i favour crawford)Agreed, Benavidez is solid.

People act like losing to a once in a lifetime talent like Pacquiao is some kinda tainting of Thurman's whole career lately.
Spence eats both though
into the edibles eh? maybe that's what was wrong in the pacman fight. if your talking thurman vs crawford, no chance.Thurman eats Bud for breakfast.
that's pretty much how i see it. middle to late round stoppage.Pac, Lopez and Collazo hurt him bad, Crawford makes Thurman quit
Do you think Bud would have struggled with Pacquiao like Thurman did?and crawford isn't an older, blown up pacman. thurman hasn't looked the best lately, in i my opinion he never looked that great. he looked to have great natural athleticism, but never really refined his punch as much as i like to see.
