Comments Thread For: Crawford Dismisses Spence Comparison In Their Wins Over Porter

[1hourRun]

The dwarf Shawn Porter was giving Errol Spence jr. a boxing lesson : using his munchkin legs to outmaneuver and limit Errol Spence jr's. offense, at the same time walking Errol into traps.

There is no way that 'TBC' was ever going to let Shawn go the distance, never mind being denied a clear-win -- like Errol Spence and his majority-decision, which he got by sneaking a cheap shot to drop Shawn in the 11th to get the 'win'.

If Terence Crawford uses his excellent foot-work and controls the range, it's going to be an easy night and will shock boxing fans how Terence made an elite look like a bum. Terence just needs to control his bad habit of brawling when he is hit by exercising discipline.

His welterweight resume besides an already on the way out Shawn Porter is just awful compared to Spence. I only gauge Crawford by the eye test really since his resume at welterweight isn't much to go by. Credit to him though for ending those fights but Spence is just more battle tested and I 'll favor him slightly if the fight does go down. Much bigger and physically imposing. Crawford though could do more and has more dimensions judging by the eye. Maybe it become a Hagler Lenard 1 type fight. Guess we 'll see.

I kind of see it the same way, but I slightly favor Crawford. I used to say Spence, but I’m leaning towards Crawford if and when it goes down.

Great match if it happens and out of all possible match ups that could happen now, this is the one I’m most excited for.

Good selective clip. Some could also post a clip where Porter was befuddling and giving Crawford the business and say Spence can do same. Just so happen you picked a clip where Spence did not throw even one jab. At this point, he saw Porter as no threat so he was just trying to get close to him. He won't be doing same against Crawford. He would be technical and be doing his work behind a steady jab and a good body attack.

Spence has the best jab at welter when he is disciplined and it is a good range finder. Crawford got a great jab as well but Spence got the more consistent one. Spence will be bearing down on Crawford at every turn so he will have to fight at some point and won't be able to move all night else he gets tired. What is definitely not going to happen even if Crawford wins, is that he will make Spence look like a bum. That sounds like a statement someone who knows very little about boxing will make. It is a difficult match up for both, a classic elite swarmer against an elite boxer puncher.

Those types fights could go either way. Lenard-Duran, Hagler-Lenard, Ali-Frazier, Hearns-Hagler even Maidana-Floyd 1 was seen as many as a toss up and Maidana is not elite. It is truly a 50-50 fight with maybe a slight favorite case being made either way. It is no white wash, it can never be. It is going a great fight regardless of who wins.

Of course one can find clips of Shawn Porter landing grazing, peppering-shots on Terence Crawford, but you know what I found interesting? I don't remember Shawn Porter ever buckling or hurting Terence Crawford, even though Terence spend a great deal of the contest fighting in the pocket, catering to Shawn's strengths.

Shawn Porter's fights with Crawford & Spence can be used to study their vulnerabilities and flaws. Clearly, Terence Crawford past the test with a higher grade : I give 'TBC' an A, I give Erroll a C-.

Love Crawford’s mentality in and out of the ring. Just wish he’d fight more often and that he had someone who knew how to promote him.

[Madison Boxing]

this whole forum is based on which fighter looks better beating the mutual opponent

[LAchargers373]

A great big fighter will beat a great small fighter every time crawford will lose if he faces spence by decision or late stoppage. Bud talks big but he faces porter and Brook in their retirement fights. That’s much different that facing prime champions. Looking forward to fight

[Tozo]

Crawford with switch up and speed beats Spence all day long,Crawford will uncharacteristic jump on him early and hurt him early taking Spence's confidence.And consequently confusing him,he will be at a loss of what to do by the 10th and the Unanimous decision will be Bud's.

Errol Spence faced Kell Brook when he was coming off of a bad stoppage loss to Golovkin and a near career ending eye injury. And he had just gone up and come back down two weight divisions going into the Spence fight. Its not plausible to believe that Brook was in any worse shape going into the Crawford fight than he was going into the Spence fight.

Crawford/Spence should be good. Both are tough & determined. I used to favor Bud but Spence is looking good too so now it's 50-50.
