Didn't know one time was back fighting, I think keith gets beat by both Spence and Crawford but good for what is a stacked 147 division.

Keith "Sometimes" Thurman has fought 3 times in 4 years, hard to say he's a better boxer when we don't really get to see him actually box.

No but at some point the weight makes a difference, the convergance point if you will where the skill just cant negate the natural advantage especially when bigger fighter is pretty skilled himself. Spence is a beast at 147, he could quite comfortably box at 160 and still look big. Hes young so hes able to make 147 but as he gets older it wont be worth him even trying 147. Spence also has an elite level skillset (although I agree with you gets hit too easily walking opponents down) he is a top 3 body puncher, his jab is viscious, the way he hunts his opponents down with his foot work is really impressive. If we're talking about pure skillset as a boxer I actually have spence at number three in 147 (behind crawford and pac). So yeah combine that with the power he carry's then yeah.
I think yeah have that top 1% of boxing skills to negate spence at 147 which Keith doesnt imo.
I mean hell the Mikey Garcia fight should be an interesting match up as stylistically, hes made for Mikey, but if he thinks he can take the kind of punishment against spence that he took against lipnetts he'll die.
