Is Terence Crawford past-prime?

[Silence]

He just beat his career best opponent Porter. He also beat fighters like Brook and Khan at 147. He may fight Spence for being undisputed.

But, he is 35. Is he past prime? I think physically YES, but technically and as experience NOPE.

[Carpe Diem]

We will find out soon. He was never a defensive wizard so it will be hard to judge his last remaining fights moving forward. Offensively, he’s still a lethal counter-puncher/finisher who capitalized off of his opponent’s uncontrolled/off balance aggression.

[Carpe Diem]

I think Derrick James will definitely have a great game plan. I don’t know if Basic Spence is good enough to follow through and execute it. Just simply too stiff and slow, but he has good fundamentals and work rate to make it a competitive fight.

[SplitSecond]

He’s prime, confidence intact, although I’d guess rusty. Guy has been inactive.

[SplitSecond]

And I’ll also say Spence is peak. He’s better than he was pre-car crash. More of a veteran now.

[TheSlickster]

I think he's peak, just that he's looked more vulnerable stepping up in competition or encountering particular styles

[Charlie Zelenoff]

No. He's still in his prime.

Crawford is tough to judge. There's some aspects where I feel he's peak at but then there are others where I feel he's slipped. Someone said he was never a defensive wizards and that is true, but he also had the capability to play defense better before when needed. Also, he's such an aggressive counter puncher that it is expected for him to take some shots.

I do feel he's not as effective in Orthodox as he's used to be and I don't even think he should entertain that stance versus Errol who's a lefty who will feel much more comfortable fighting another Orthodox fighter.
