    I got Spence winning a decision or late stoppage. No way Crawford withstands that killer body attack. He will eventually have to stand and fight. Either his chin or body is going to fail in the later rounds
    And the last time Crawford tried to go to war, he got two-pieced, wobbled and dropped for his troubles. And that was someone with nowhere near the power of Errol Spence.

    We're not reading too much into Toney's comment. Fairly certain this was the guy who once said that Joshua was the best heavyweight.

      Oh lordie. In this case you can't even invoke YDKSAB on Toney.

        Gotta ride with Spence on this one. Iron sharpens iron, with Spence coming out the lions den, I think his sparring partners and trainer put him over the top.

        That will be the differentiator here. Spence will take Crawford into deep waters.

        This is going to be an epic fight that goes to cards with Spence barely edging out Crawford.

          Who cares, it's all opinion. No one knows until they're in the ring. May the best man win and hopefully it's a trilogy.

            Spence vs Crawford has trilogy written all over it, but they need to do it the right way. Back to back to back. None of this, “Oh. We need to work out the details first. I got a mandatory vs so and so.”

            I don’t want part 1 to be in 2023, part 2 to be in 2026, and then part 3 to be in 2030.

            Trilogy needs be done by the end of 2024 and if they wanted to, they could. But you know how the story goes. Hell. We still might not get anything at all!

              Both guys seem like they trying to get the other past their prime.

                It's getting old talking about a fight two clowns don't want.... All we can hope is that the sanctioning bodies force either of these guys to fight Ennis or Ortiz, another fight these two don't want any part of....

                  I see one at 147 and another at 154. These guys are going to take a lot out of each other at this age. I see both fighters also retiring in the next 3-4yrs

                    Spence isn't the fighter he once was imo. Even at his best he was there to be hit. Crawford got the stoppage against Porter. I can see him stopping Spence too.

                      I don't believe either one of them are afraid of Ortiz. He's not on the same level skill wise, he was having problems against a pity-pat puncher his last fight. His defense is basically hit me and I'm going to hit you back harder. I don't see him standing a chance against them, he would willingly walk into a trap just to get his offense off.
