Comments Thread For: Porter: Crawford is The Best Out of Everybody I've Been in The Ring With

Context is important. Where porter was mentally, and in terns of his career, frames those remarks.

It will be interesting to see who Crawford fights next.

Is that your way of saying you don't believe him?

I'm convinced Spence has no desire to face T Crawford after seeing him run out of the arena after Porter getting stopped. I believe Spence's intentions were (if Porter won the fight) to climb in the ring, face Porter and suggest they run back their rematch opportunity. Seeing Spence run away after T Crawford's victory confirms Spence's absolute no desire (cowardliness) to compete for the WW unification......EVER!

I'd say he does want it. He just knows Al doesn't. He's not gonna hang around asking hard questions about something that is completely out of his control.

Bud definitely the best WW out there he beat spence by decision for sure

Come on man. This is a weak defense and I think you know that

Crawford is the only person I've ever seen go hard to Porter's body. I don't mean the bull**** Spence was doing neither while chest to chest. I mean winding up with full force punches to the body while Porter charged in and was defenseless against.. Those slowed Porter down enough to start being timed to the head.

Good eye. In rd8 when Porter was going after him Crawford walked him into a bomb of a left or two to the ribcage that immediately changed Porter’s entire energy for the remainder of the fight. Intensity lost, heavy legs etc.

No, I believe him in the context of where he is now; 34 yr old high energy fighter on the downward side of the slope both physically and mentally.

Wrong my friend.... the fighter always has the ability to push/pursue the fight they sincerely desire.... Are you going to try to convince me if Porter had won, Spence would not have started a rematch dialog with Porter (and the boxing community) immediately after the fight?? Coward Spence 100% would have begun the WBO title if in Porter's possession... That was the sole purpose of his attendance!!

Crawford says he wants the big fights. If no Spence, then fight Ennis. Can he win that one? Doubtful.

What makes Ennis a big fight? No one knows who he is yet & he doesn’t have a belt. A big fight would be someone with a name like Thurman or Danny or someone with a belt like Ugas

Exactly. Plus Spence softened up Porter for Crawfish. To me Porter was a shot fighter after the Spence bout and he still went 10 rounds Crawfish. If Spence had fought Porter last night, it would have been a first round KO. That's how much Porter's skills have diminished from that beatdown Spence laid on him.

It was a good fight. Tech at 1st, but Crawf did what I expected vs 1 of the toughest mofos in the ww div. Regardless of your personal feelings, Crwf looked good in there. If youre a true boxing fan, you should be clamoring for a spence fight.
