I think Crawford might find his match in Spence,don't know if Crawford can handle Spence,actually i seriously doubt it, spence is a monster, good technique good power and the body shots are something else, who you got?
People will just say Crawford was never a true 147lber and Spence was too big for him. I can see it happening. Crawford while beast at the lower weights remains to be seen how he'll look at 147lbs.
Bingo! Correct me if i'm wrong but Gomboa Dropped Crawford a guy who fought above his weight @ 130. If Spence touches him, he's out. + Spence is accurate and fast and has good stamina that's a long night in the kitchen.
Gamboa didnt drop crawford
I’ll pick Crawford but under serious reservation as I’m not sure his power carries, ask me again after the Horny fight. Spence can crack, but he’s definitely in with his best opponent vs Bud, I think both these guys best Thurman crazy fights to be made makes your dick hard thinking about them huh.
Haha i even cum in my pants a little at the thought. I did have a digit up my arse when i was thinking about it, which may have set me off.
Bud is the more talented of the pair for my money, and I think he'll take the early rounds and land plenty, but I think Errol's combination of thudding power and patient application of his gameplan will get to Crawford in the end... it's not a pick I'd like to make until I've seen Bud at 147 though... and I'm aware I'm a little high on Spence cos he's just fought.
Right now I'm leaning just slightly towards Spence - roughly 55/45, but that's definitely subject to change.
Hey man i aint forgetting on how much Brook landed on Spence in the fight, his defense isnt all that, i think if you break him out of his rhytm and gameplan he doesnt have plan C or D. If Crawford is as good as 140 at 147 i think he will outbox Spence... too versatile
Crawford would have to fight the perfect fight, and he's capable of it, and pull if off but there can be little room for error. On the other hand, Spence could very well steam roll him early as Crawford's punch resistance is not the best and the defense is leaky.
This fight will come down to how much Crawford can hurt Spence or makes him respect his power. If Crawford is not able to do none of that, i don't see him avoiding Spence for all 12 rounds and most likely gets stopped by body punches. If he's able to hurt Spence and keep him honest, then he has a great chance, because he has the better skill set.

Bud would be in there with his best opponent with the Truth. if Bud can't hurt Spence, he getting stopped.
Crawford is a great talent, but Spence is his equal if not better overall. More power, quicker and creates space perfectly. Crawford is lacking on worthy opponents as well. Spence has already beaten fighters better than anyone TC has faced. Crawford has better defense but not enough to stop Errol from smashing him. I can see Crawford avoiding this fight for awhile.
Crawford is a great talent and while I think he'll be a better Welterweight and have significantly more pop there I don't think he or any Welterweight even survives 12 rounds with a forever improving Spence.
His combination of size, his southpaw ramrod jab, his workrate, relentless body assault. He's nasty and IMO his style is a problem for anyone, he doesn't slow or take rounds off he gets stronger.
He's an underrated counterpuncher too.
You don't want to be in front of him, you stick and move he is imposing he cuts the ring off well, jabs his way in and will take your movement away by ripping your body with every shot in the book.
Crawford has the best chance but I favour Spence by stoppage he's got a nightmare style for anyone. You maybe quicker, faster, have a higher ring IQ but over 12 he's going to carve you up and break you down.
Right now I favor Spence because of size advantage.
But if Crawford carries some power to 147lbs, I'll favor him due to his ability to counter and move around the ring and punch at the same time.
With how often and how open Errol leaves himself...I'm more interested in what Spence will do when he inevitably gets tagged. And he leaves himself WIDE open...
Come forward fighters don't do well when they're hurt and TC has had that kind of power at LW and JWW. Time will tell for WW.
Well, anything can happen in the boxing ring but that's a true crap shoot, you know?
It's sort of like Mosley vs. Mayweather. He literally put all his money on the freak chance of catching Mayweather with a haymaker and hoping it put him to sleep.
I'm not saying TC is Mosley or Errol is Mayweather, though. That is just the only example I could think of to get my point across. lol
dont think spence would punish him like he did to lamont, but a close clear win for spence
crawford has been hurt by gamboa, which is a bad sign. and we know TC likes to fight fire with fire in certain spots which could end ugly for him
Crawford is the kind of guy that will run into major problems when he fights a guy with a strong, reliable jab.
Errol Spence Jr. is that kind of guy. Them wild haymaker schits ain't gonna work when you get stuffed with a proper jab.
at this point you have to pick spence. crawford will make his debut at 147. that'll answer some questions. he has the arsenal and skills to box the eyebrows off horn but it'll be interesting to see if horn respects his power. horn will look to apply pressure and be high volume puncher to overwhelm crawford. we'll see if crawfords power makes him timid.
vs peterson I was surprised by the footspeed of spence and how effective he cuts the ring. can crawford discourage spence from bulldozing him? we have yet to see spence fight going backwards. I haven't seen anyone put him on the ropes and unload. he is always in control, he dictates tempo in every round. its a scary sight.
