If Crawford stops Porter, should he be favored over Spence?

[sicko]

I think Bud will be the favorite regardless especially due to the Car Accident and Eye Injury making it difficult for Spence to be active

[KTFOKING]

Him stopping or not stopping Porter shouldn't really have to do with favoring or not favoring him vs Spence. Different match up.

Would be a great statement stopping Porter though.

????????????! If he does, I think he should be favored over Spence

That's what I am thinking too. (Kell Brook was over the hill and not suitable for 147 though)

I've had doubts about this high level boxing IQ that people rave for Crawford about. To me, he looks like an athletic boxer with KO power in both hands. But generally, he is windmilling or fighting like Walters basically. More puncher-than-boxer type.

I'm not sure he makes the adjustments to Porter's brawling style. Now if Porter comes in there trying to box him like Bradley did Pacquiao, he might actually get KO'd by Crawford.

I don't think so. He boxed (which was ******) against Ugas and still managed to make it razor close. He boxed Formella, the IBO Welterweight Champion, and pitched a shutout.

But prior to that he went to war with Danny Swift and ate plenty of No Look Hook™ shots flush on the chin and still kept coming. Prior to that, absolute brutal shots from Andre Berto and kept on coming.


Spence's chiropractor shot that damn near twisted Porter's head off, he got up and still went back to war.

The dude (Porter) is underrated in my opinion. And frankly, I don't see Crawford taking the Spence OR Danny shot nearly as well.

50/50.....unless he dominates and khtfo.

[DaNeutral.]

He already is in my opinion. I also think Spence and his owners feel the same way hence no fight and pure dismissal when ever pushed on If Spence even wants that fight. Hopefully Errol is true to his word and fights Crawford when he gets to the back of that queue he put Crawford at.

Triangle theory proves to be horse**** as often as it proves prophetic, but as always it would be something to point to and argue about passionately on the internet, so it couldn't be dismissed entirely.

[Boxing-1013]

I think that's a solid barometer, if Crawford can out-do Spence's performance vs Porter.

[earl_grey]

I disagree. Pedraza got knocked out by Davis and decisioned by Lomachenko, but said Lachenko was better (at least back then).

it’s possible for someone who knocks someone out to not necessarily be as good.

playing Along with all the recent talk of Floyd and Pacquiao — Pacquiao knocked the spark out many boxers Floyd decisooned, but Floyd still was the better fighter even though Pacquiao reached greater career achievements.
