Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Defends Himself Against Errol Spence Criticism: 'I Don't Hate Nobody'

[FLY TY]

Errol been saying he hunting Orca after he beats Pac so the fight will happen.

Only reason it might not happen is if Bud pricing himself out.

Or not even pricing himself out....just flat out refusing the smoke. He's been on record recently saying he probably won't take the fight even if he's offered 50-50.

Ouch....saying Crawford fought better opposition then Spence is a huuuuuge reach. Sounds like he's either a little misguided on his opinions of quality opponents, aka dumb! Or he's not very fond of Spence aka "hatin"

Spence has got a bigger worry than Crawford, he has to first make weight, and then try to beat a legend in Pacquiao.

Errol said he wanted Crawford if he beats Pacquiao, although talk is cheap.

If they fight, may as well leave the welterweight division, move up in weight and fight each other. They don't need belts to make a fight big.

Wow, one thing is for sure. Spence has more emotional fan boys than Crawford. I’m with RJJ, just make the fight for the benefit of real boxing fans who want to see the best fight the best. These two are clearly the top two. Crawford is the top dog because he has 10 more pro fights under his belt and has ko’d every boxer they put in front of him at welterweight, after having fully unified at 140. Does anyone think those PBC stablemates Spence has beat on points would stand a chance against Bud.
I like both fighters and want to see the fight so we can stop speculating and have it play out in real time.

[GucciGod]

Ok, so I’m nobody to be telling Roy he’s wrong.
What I will say is that Crawford has established himself as a pound for pound fighter and multiple weight world champion. He’s done excellent, his career is amazing if he retired tomorrow. One thing that does baffle me is when guys say that Crawford has proven himself as a WW more than Spence. That is ludicrous, like him or loathe him, Errol is THE man at welterweight. He also even generates more revenue and PPV than Crawford.

when I listen to both talk about the other I never feel like either is desperate for the fight to happen but if it comes down to 10% one way or the other, than Crawford would have to accept that 40% to Spence 60%.

Roy feeding people some bullsh_t right here, how can you say Terrance has fought the more experienced complete fighters when Spence has beat the top guys at Welterweight Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, Kell Brooke, now Manny and it’s not his fought Thurman was a little Bit_hhhhh! Roy wrong on professional experience and size Spence is the man, but on sharpness and not being able to make a mistake against I would give it to Crawford, however we have seen Crawford down and shook against guys that are not even close to Spence so the doubt is still out on weather he can handle a big welterweight like Spence who’s fundamentally sound. Roy a bit punchie also

Roy Jones you're wrong dude period lol... Bud isn't fighting elite competition at this point in time and hasn't fought but twice in 22 months and is still living off what he's accomplished at 140 being undisputed. At 147 Crawford has fought Jeff Horn, Jose Benavidez (one leg), mean machine (arguably got dropped), Amir Khan (pushed by Vargas, stretched by Garcia and Canelo), Kell Brook (2 broken eye sockets and hadn't fought at 147 in 2 years moving down from 154) 70k PPV buys about to fight Zepeda and NOT Josh Taylor... Spence at 147 (went to UK to snatch the IBF belt from Brook (after Kell's GGG fight), Mikey Garcia (4 division champ, PPV fight), Danny Garcia (after car accident), Shawn Porter (PPV fight), Lamont person (former champion), Chris Algeri (fought Pacquiao), Leonard Bundu (went 12 rds with Keith Thurman but stopped by Spence) and now is about to fight Pacquiao in August.

[champion4ever]

I agree with Roy Jones. They should get it on after the Pacquiao fight. However, Bud is pouting right now because Erroll didn't fight him when he wanted to and Top Rank doesn't want him anymore

[Cigar]

Roy is 100% right. Everybody knows it was Errol ducking Crawford.

In what way? Errol has fought Porter and Danny Garcia. Neither of those guys are world level. Both are decent champs similar to Postol or Gamboa if we're being honest.
