Comments Thread For: Crawford On Spence: "This Is The Fight Where It Leaves No Doubt Whatsoever About Crawford And His Skills"

[Amir Imam]

Don't see much argument here, except one thing, this is only one weight class. He may have the best resume of a WW since the Pacquiao/Mayweather. The question then becomes can he do it at a higher weight? Or over several weight classes? I know young Imam you are itching for a PBC fighter to be the face of the sport but Spence has controlled only a single weight.

He controlled a single weight without using catchweights. Easy to jump up and down weight classes when you’re using catchweights. Has nothing to do with pbc or face of the sport because having the best resume don’t mean you’re the face of the sport. Obviously the cash cow and most popular fighter is always the face of the sport which at the moment is Canelo. Two different categories

All past their prime. Brook was already beaten by GGG, broken socket, and the wieght Change. Crawford beat Porter and Brook in a better fashion.

“All past their prime” and then you proceed with “Crawford beat them in better fashion”.

When your guy wins, it’s great accomplishments but when the guy you don’t like it did it a few years before your guy, you diminish his wins.

Sounds like a ….

Crawford is one of the greatest of all time just a flat out incredible fighter this fight with Spence will cement that legacy as two division undisputed champion in the modern area it is just insane.

“Anointing Bud such lofty status is rich. If I asked you to list the guys he beat at 140 to unify, I know you wouldn’t be able to do it without Google.

At 147, Bud beat

1. Horn
2. Jose Benavidez
3. Kavaliauskas
4. Brook
5. Khan and
6. Porter.

Brook & Khan should have never shared the ring with Bud. There were better ranked and better names out there

If these guys determine ATG status then anyone can be an ATG.

Now, if Bud beats Spence, then that conversation can start. It’s still won’t be enough.

I'm team Bud all day. Especially seeing how they're giving him 35%, that's so disrespectful. I wanted him to win anyway, but now I want him to get the knockout, and by doing so, knock out the whole "other side of the street" selfish, diva business model that is destroying boxing. But having said all that, I hope whoever wins, will look in Jaron "Boots" Ennis' direction and treat him with same respect that they would want, if they were younger and trying to have a breakout fight. Somebody please fight the young master and give him a shot. Don't keep avoiding fighters while saying they haven't fought anyone, its really stinking out the game, for real

damm TC already at 34??

Crawford will easily beat Spence. He's a Much better fighter than most of the current day brain dead fans give him credit for. And although a good fighter-Spence isn't as good as people think.

Not that I'm complaining...the less educated make the betting odds just right for those that are really In the know. Easy money.

Now Spence could last the 12rds on sheer pride and willpower alone and Al can rob Crawford on the cards, I've seen worse happen.. it is boxing after after all. But I'm taking Crawford by TKO 8th round. 10th round tops.

You’ve got to put Virgil Ortiz and Stanionis right with Ennis. Those three are the young lions and you can’t say who is best yet because they are equal as of now.

There will be still some doubt. The doubt of, could you of beaten Spence at 100%? Pre-accident and eye injury? Because as fan's, we are lying to ourselves to think those two issues haven't affected Spence one way or another. Spence at this point is about 80% of what he used to be, and that's still pretty good but you got to think how Crawford would of done against Spence pre-accident.

[Bronx23]

I predict a kd or a late ko in Crawford’s favor. He’s got that weird sneaky power where he drops or buzzes guys with punches that don’t even look hard.

and I’ve seen Spence buzzed badly by both Porter and Ugas. 2 guys that nobody rates as big punchers. And to be quite honest I can’t recall Spence ever fighting any big punchers. He’s got a good chin but we have yet to find out if it’s a great chin

Yea and Crawford is also older than Spence and fairly inactive. He’s not getting the best version of Bud either
