    Curry would be favored over both, as long as he doesn't kill himself to make weight.

    He'd khtfko the Crawford that fought that Sabonis guy

    I'd take Curry over both, and I think he's a decent sized favourite over Spence, but a Crawford fight could be explosive and very close IMO. That'd be an awesome watch, sort of like a spiteful chess-match.

    I'd favor Curry against both Spence and Crawford, more so against Spence. Spence's style will play into Curry's more conservative, counterpunching, and inside fighting skills. Crawford, on the other hand, may be a more stylistic nightmare for Curry, although I still see Curry eeking out a decision win over him.

    Curry is a better fighter than both of them. Intangibles could be key here, though. Curry wasn’t heartless, per say. But I get the sense he had some give in him.

    If after a few rounds of unloading his best shots doesn’t deter Spence, Curry could be in trouble down the stretch. I’d say he hangs on to win, but he’s probably have to survive a major scare as Spence fights with more urgency and hurts him at some point.

    On the surface it’s a different fight vs Crawford, and with Bud at times a slow starter, he could find himself way down here. Crawford would inevitably shift into another gear if Curry isn’t able to get him outta there. Anything could happen. I favor Curry but Crawford is not without a shot here.
