Comments Thread For: Spence On Crawford: I Feel Like It's Best Welterweight Fight In Last 40 Years, Fight Of Decade

[ptek]

It's a big fight that's for sure, it's definitely goner be up there with the best & biggest fights from the past once it's all over with and said and done.

It's 4 all the belts, in this 4 belt era to, plus there's a good chance of a trilogy.
in the end it could be epic.

Regardless if this fight is a lil later than expected, its DEFINITELY going to deliver tremendously better than that boring FMJ/Pac fight. We know both these cats come to fight.

I expect a few feel out rounds then fireworks. I got Crawf in 10/11. Hes got that dog in him.

These two now are like Manny May in 2010, Spence and TC are still in their prime, Floyd and Manny were both out of theirs.

This is big I got to say. Mainly as they marinated it so long and people have differing opinions on outcome. It's bigger than pac v floyd as these 2 are same division, unlike former flyweight pac, and closer to prime.

U do realise Crawford has been moving through the divisions , he won titles in a few not sure the exact amount though

Spence is talking out of his....
Every thing that he is saying now, just falls flat.
What he had been saying all along was that, "The Crawford fight is not going to happen until I'm ready", so in that sense, he's a man of his word.
He said that the Crawford fight could not be made because he was with Bob Arum and Top Rank, but when Bud left, then it was another excuse, after excuse.
He tried to wait Crawford out, so that maybe he'd lose to some other fighter, that did not happen.
He tried to pick Crawford's pocket, by getting him to basically fight for pennies, with (Puppet) Al Hayman's PBC, (HNIC) Floyd Mayweather Promotions, but that didn't work.

He has no credibility and no class, and even now, who ever thinks that this bout will take place on July 29, really just needs to look at his, and the track record of Al Hayman PBC, and Floyd Mayweather Promotions on how they've delt with Gervonta Davis, having him sit on his hands, and every other fighter that they "advise and/or promote".

I think Crawford became very dangerous in recent years , he really worked on his power and doing everything , I think this waiting for his old tactic might backfire especially since Spence is the one who likes the drink driving , doesn't look after his health , I reckon Crawford by ko

Poo poo until it actually happens. This fight has been talked about for too long and I am not actually sure if either are the "best" anymore by this amount of time passed.

[SweetPbfAli]

I get that feeling as well. Spence is going to have to fight incredibly smart, and make it incredibly boring, to win. I am hoping that Bud brings the best out of him.

I'm not sure about this. Errol is the better inside fighter and Bud had the advantage outside. Spence is really crafty with controls and framing on the inside and inside fights imo tend to be exciting. At range, where the fight would slow down is where Spence gets picked apart.

Two past prime guys, one who hasn't looked the same since a near death car crash, nah.

He looked better after the crash than the kell brook fight.

Technically, and Spence knows this, Crawford is the superior boxer. But Spence is the physically stronger fighter, so.. this is why it's a 50/50 fight.

[JohnnyCan]

more legit than Pac/Floyd because that fight went bad on the shelf. This one's a little passed due but at least they are both still undefeated.

They are both undefeated for a reason. Not saying cherry pickers (especially Crawford not as bad as Spence) but not getting near Ennis , Ortiz , Stanionis , etc because they’ve taken safe fights for three years now. Not in their prime anymore and don’t think this fight is going to do good numbers like some of you think.
