I see there some people on here who claim they know boxing who probably never been in a fight their entire life Spence is going beat Crawford and he’s going to look very good doing it…there are animals and then there are beast and Spence is a beast…just because a fighter can switch stances in a heart beat doesn’t make him a great fighter…Crawford could’ve made this fight a few years ago but chose to reup with scumbag bob to collect those big checks fighting in-house fights and now that river has dried up he needs a cash out fight because he’s pushing 35 and he’s going to have to do a mandatory if doesn’t do the fight that’s why he’s taking 35% which will still be a career high and still have an opportunity for a rematch if he wants

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

Canelo is the cash cow and the face of the sport...AND he has the best resume.

He is at the top in both categories.

Crawford finally stepping up to one-foot-out-the-door Porter and beaten-and-battered-by-a-car-accident Spence. Good for him leaving TR and not extending a 3rd time to catch the almost-retired welterweights. Next is Ugas.

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.

They're far from equal. Ennis will absolutely smoke either one of them with ease

I see Ortiz vs Ennis as the next super fight at ww. I favor Ennis but Ortiz has a good chin from what I see. If he can take a flush shot from Ennis and keep coming forward it might get interesting. I'd say it 55/45 Ennis atm but that could change.

Just trying to understand why NSB isn't criticizing Crawford for speaking in the third person, yet trash Wilder for doing it.

Thanks for trying the English language out. Let us know if you decide to stick with it.

Wow - RickyD sounds really scary. Spence fought nothing but in-house fights also. Most notable fights are in order Kell Brook - who GGG damn near killed and in one night ended his career (and was one point down in 11th round against Spence). Mikey Garcia - a career #130 pounder who had no business at lightweight much less junior welterweight much less welterweight. Shawn Porter - I’m a big fan of Shawn’s, good strong fighter great motor and very close split decision (which I thought Porter outworked Spence). Next Danny Garcia - the less talented but slightly larger of the Garcias. Very good at lightweight, above average at junior welterweight and averse at welterweight. Always came up short in big fights. Lastly Ugas- who I rate as a good (although five losses) but limited fighter which was a bit of a cherry pick.

Let's go, no more excuses!
