And for the record I like Keith

But

He doesn't take body shots well
He's a bit too bouncy
His athleticism is his biggest asset

Still a tough night for anyone.

I wonder if he still has the fire. He seems happy personally since he travelled and got married.

You guys saying Crawford would make him pay for this and that better watch Craw body. He's not athletic at all. He's just very tall and crafty. He's not athletic. Spence body work can do Crawford in. Crawford won't be freely throwing jabs and moving around like he's been doing. A great body puncher is always a fighter to take out the smart, craftier fighters. Remember B Hop vs Oscar?
Personally I think Crawford is extremely athletic. There's not many guys in boxing who can do the things he does in the ring. He has great footwork, agility, quickness, and coordination.

And as far as oscar vs b hop, I think b hop was a smarter and craftier boxer than delahoya. Never looked at b hop as a pure brute force body puncher like spence. I think crawford vs spence will play out more like winky vs tito. Spence trying to chase crawford down and bully him while crawford sticks and moves and lights him up from midrange.

Right now I just see more dimensions to Crawford's skill set. He doesn't make as many mistakes as Spence and he's more defensively sound. Also I think he's got better one punch pop than spence. Kell brook staggered spence a couple times and Crawford will have him resetting often. It's still pretty much a 50-50 fight and my opinion can change depending on their next few fights. But right now I would put my money on crawford. Dude just seems like he's operating at a different level than these other guys right now.

I don't remember Crawford ever fighting a guy like Brook talent wise but you made some good points

Even though top rank doesn't have the guys that PBC has I can judge Crawford based off of the eyeball test I think that when you look at his skill-set it seems a bit more well-rounded.

He moves and times extremely well and doesn't get overly aggressive.

My biggest concern is can Spence physically stay at 147.

You think Crawford punches harder than the guy that stop GGG, Spence and Porter in their tracks. Brook is becoming underrated. Crawford can’t crack like Brook. Brook would have knocked out Horn.

Not Tko

And I agree Crawford has more ways to fight but does that mean it will necessarily work. I can see the fight going well for Crawford early but the pressure folding him. Like GGG vs Canelo if GGG was a better body puncher
