OK Bud, name the 4 belt holders you beat @ 140, then name the 3 belt holders Spence beat @ 147! See the difference? Probably not, and that's the problem!

Chris van Heerden says Jaron Ennis has power advantage over Errol Spence, still would favor Spence to beat him
Chris van Heerden shares his experience from being in the ring with both Errol Spence and Jaron Ennis.

In a recent conversation with Marcos Villegas of Fight Hub TV, Chris van Heerden breaks down his experience from being in the ring with both Errol Spence and Jaron Ennis, saying that while he’s certain that Ennis is a bigger puncher than Spence, he would still favor Spence to beat Ennis based on his technical ability and experience. Check out some of what he had to say below.

van Heerden on the respective power of Spence and Ennis

“I’ve been hit by Spence a lot. I’ve been hit by Ennis to know that when Ennis touched me, he didn’t drop me but when he hit me I was like ‘oh boy’ and his power is even more than Spence’s power, I’ll tell you that...When Ennis hit me, I got a little scared, in the sense of ‘oh damn, this is different power.’

“Spence is technically just a clean fighter. Spence is nice, the jab, the cross, whatever. It’s 80%, it stings, it’s numb power. Ennis is wild. Ennis jumps in, he’s ferocious, he wild, and when he hit me — the moment he hit me, even when it was my arm, a red light went on and I was like ‘oh, this is why this guy knocks out everyone.’ He’s got power...and the thing that immediately went into my head that round was ‘oh he hits harder than Spence.’

“I took Spence’s power...when Spence hit me I respected his power but I was like ‘this is not enough power, like he doesn’t have the power to single-handedly knock me out.’ I wasn’t aware of that...when Ennis hit me, immediately my mind went to ‘oh ****, I gotta keep my hands up because this kid could knock me out with one punch.’ He’s got power, man. Real power.”

On if he would favor Ennis to beat Spence

“Right now, no. Why not? Why am I saying right now, not? We cannot say Ennis is still up-and-coming, Ennis has got almost 30 fights. He’s not a baby anymore, Ennis is a real fighter. But I think technically sounded, the dynamic of the one-two, the basics, Spence does so well. His defense is good, he hits beautiful. Ennis, I feel is a little bit wild, and a guy like Spence that is such an elite level fighter, he’s gonna make you pay if you’re wild.

“And experience. Spence has fought the names, the bigger names, the better names. And because of that I’m backing Spence to beat Ennis — not knock him out, though. Nah. I don’t think he will knock him out. I think just Spence beats him at the moment.”

F-k Bud, F-K Thurman, Choose Boots! Errol Spence...MAN UP!

You mean, Man Down!! You trying to get that young man beat the hell up. Tell Boots to go play with something safe first, like Keef or Virgil.

Clown. You became undisputed by fighting at the weakest division at the time 140. You beat Julius Indingo to get all the belts ffs lmao and then you move to 147 and fight none of the top contenders or champions. Your biggest names are washed up old ex champions like Kell Brook and Amir khan and semi retired Shawn Porter

He would, but they don't want no smoke! Boots wants Spence now! He's earned it, KO after KO after KO! MAN UP!

I'm pretty sure plenty of fighters wanted to be undisputed before Crawford did it so that's bull****. Seems like Crawford now realises he needs to self promote so is becoming quite outspoken. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity.

[hhh1200]

Postol and Burns on the road were favored to beat him. He smokes them and they turn into bums. Standard rock in the head boxing fan logic. Legit undisputed fighter. Should be fighting for 2nd if the Haymon wasn't trying to sell the neck kissing man drinker to Canelo and Charlo flaming out every time Crawford says he'd like to have an undisputed vs undisputed match up. Only in boxing! Never see this in MMA/UFC

He's giving off clown vibes.

True but he is keeping his name out there. Sometimes pissing people off and being the bad guy works. We're talking about him right now.

[PanPan1and2]

Man this dude just sounds dumber and dumber the more he talks, still a huge fan but hes taking to many to the dome.

[TheIronMike]

This dude is a straight up narcissist. Disgusting to be around people like this.

[Jab jab boom]

It had been 12 yrs since someone was undisputed when Crawford did it. In just the 5 yrs since Crawford became undisputed, there have been 5 more people who have went on to become undisputed. So yeah, it has been more of a recent trend.
