Comments Thread For: James Toney On Spence-Crawford: "Spence Is Good Fighter But He's Gonna Get Knocked Out!"

[Greenfield02]

REBERGL! Since you said it it must be true.... I've seen Crawford struggle with a lot smaller guys than Ortiz, Burns comes to mind, who Crawford went 12 with, Gamboa who hurt Crawford, and punches nowhere near as hard as Ortiz, Kavaliuskas who hurt Crawford too and Ortiz beat in much better fashion, Ect ect. But it's a ton of flapping lips if Spence or Crawford think Ortiz or Ennis is easy money than sign and prove how good you are, especially Crawford who's resume is filled with B and C level opponents....

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.

Crawford didn't stop Porter, Kenny did.

TBC, is going to shame the haters.

Crawford didn't stop Porter, Kenny did.

True, that's kinda why I worded it the way I did. Crawford was still getting to him though and based on that performance I wouldn't be surprised if could get a stoppage against Spence one way or another.

The only reason that stoppage happened is that Kenny Porter pulled some tough man BS on his son.

Derrick James is arguably the best trainer in the business right now. He's not going to do that.

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

The last 3 bouts should all be against one another. That’s a good way to go out, but they’ll probably get fed to boots or Ortiz. Would be funny if they get mandated to fight one or the other, and then they go, “nah I’m retired.” Lol.

The only way I see Spence losing to Crawford is if Kenny Porter is in his corner! Crawford has looked poor in the first half or his recent fights and then comes on to win.....in this case Spence has too much stamina, volume and power in the second half.......this is where the fight turns and Spence either wins handily or knocks Crawford out. I honestly don't think Crawford really wants this fight and will price himself out. Remember he had to be forced to fight Porter who was doing more talking than training and was right in the fight until his daddy decided to punish him and stop the fight.

This fight must be made ,these two not fighting is everything bad about boxing .Imagine Hagler,Leonard, Duran and hearns carrying on like this.

Toney also said Pac would KO Floyd

[billeau2]

both guys been rocked recently

crawford seems better but spence has his chance if he catches crawford good.

yeah this is a hard one to pick. Spence would imo do it by accumulation, Crawford has that ability to get one shot in and knock Spence down/KO even.
