i got crawford on this one... spence had trouble with kell brooks until he got tired....Crawford was just as fresh in round 12 as he was in round 1 against Benividiz....similar to cotto vs margarito but the only thing is crawford wont fade late in the fight....crawford is just a better all around fighter to me.
Brook didn't get tired on his own, he got tired because of Spence's body shots...that's why Spence won. It's called Boxing.
When you are Boxing at the elite level, it shouldn't be a one-side fight. Brook would have given Crawford the same problems he gave Spence.
Other than size, the only thing Spence has over Crawford is power at 147lbs.
IMO, Crawford will land on Spence easy. The only question is will he get respect from Spence.
They need a shared opponent. Only one I can see is brook vs Crawford but not sure brook would take that L.
I would pay for that stream. Brook fights with heart and he is strong enough to hurt Crawford.
Patently false
Yep BS, first off Spence has second day weighed over 160lbs on more than one occasion. TC was coming in 153ish for most of his 140lb fights. Also the weight only tells some of the story, it's not that simple. Ricky Hatton used to bounce back big the day after a weigh in, doesn't mean he was a natural 47lber once he moved up as he was just putting on fluid.
Spence is a much bigger guy, in his own words he is bigger than a lot of middleweights. 47 is a squeeze for him but he's still able to make it healthily and that's one of the reasons why he's such a monster. I have no doubt in the next year or 2 he will start losing that battle and be forced to move up.
TC on the other hand could prob finish his career at 47.
I agree that Spence will beat Crawford but not because he is bigger because he isn't. Crawford weighed 157 on fight night for Horn and he was all lean bone and muscle with no fat. Spence weighed 156 on fight night for his last fight. So there is no size or weight difference. I think Spence wins because his boxing skills are almost as good as Crawford's boxing skills and he hits much harder, takes a punch better and throws more punches a round than Crawford. Spence will get the KO in my opinion just he has KOed everybody he has fought for years now. MAN DOWN!
Patently false
What would Bud do to this hypejob clown?
And Errol still gets WHACKED with these same shots:

A counter-puncher who can move and punch will give Spence fits as Spence needs to plant, but TC will be tested in that fight too.
TC should win though as Spence is more linear
Errol, like Jarret Hurd walks his opponents down when they feel that their opponents punches aren’t harmful enough, you saw how bundu folded right??? So you hear that Errol hits as hard as a middleweight and light heavyweight so that means he’s as strong those guys in the higher weights, you’re absolutely right that Spence is too linear but he cuts the ring off well to make up with that along with constant pressure to the body which will slow down a counter-puncher like Crawford!
Great comment otherwise!
The way I see it, both of them are not far off in terms of skill level with a slight favor to crawford's. The natural 'bigness' of Spence's bone structure will eventually take over in this fight. It will be troubling for Crawford if he realized he couldn't put a dent on Spence, and because their skill level is not far off, Spence could also get his punch in and seeing in Gamboa fight Crawford did a slight dipsy-do dance when the smaller man hit him cleanly, Spence might actually hurt him eventually somewhere in the fight.
Fair analysis, actually spot on!

That's fine, but doesn't really have anything to do with my post. I was just mentioning how guys like Jermell/Brant really rate his power, but I don't think single shot wise it is anything special. It is everything else that he does that makes him into a complete and utter force in the ring.
I’m saying the same thing you are, actually agreeing but whatever dude, smh.
I’m only saying that you can say the same thing about Crawford that you said about Errol in terms of single shot power, Crawford gets his KO’s thru accumulation of punches much like Spence, Crawford boxes to get his punches off, Errol walks his opponents down to wear them down with accumulative punches.

I never said Crawford could hit harder than Spence, but I don't think Spence's single shot pop is more than say Thurman. Algieri said Pacquiao/Ruslan hit harder, but Spence was hitting him with 70-80% power with every shot and that it is too difficult to deal with. Pretty accurate description there.

Spence is a loaded puncher meaning he has to load up and throw hard to KO you
Real heavy punchers don't have to throw like they swinging a baseball to crack you
I remember Tim Bradley said if Pacman wanted to he could really kill guys with his power, but Pac wobbles you and dazes you with arm shots grazing shots that he barely puts any mustard on
When Pac did throw Errol Spence type punches he knocked Hatton out cold. That was the first time I seen Pacman really load up a shot like how Spence does when he fights and he knocked a dude out cold Spence just batters you to the head and body making it sting and you finally cant take the power punches and you drop your guard and its lights out
Exactly...
Good post.
