Pros/Cons for Spence and Crawford

[Chollo Vista]

List some pros/cons for each fighter.

Crawford Cons - Starts slow, eyes/cheeks swell easily. I don't think he can fight on the inside with Spence while getting smothered.

Crawford Pros - Precise power puncher who can adjust on the fly. One punch KO power. Has a plethora of tools under his belt, gets smarter as the fight goes on.

Spence Cons - Inactivity since the car accident. Detach retina. Not a one punch KO guy

Spence Pros - Strong jab, relentless pressure, defense is tight, can fight on the inside, insane cardio, gets stronger as the fight goes on.


I wonder how Crawford's face holds up as he gets hit clean early. I also wonder how he fights in the pocket while being smothered.

Only important factors are:
Spence: Commitment to boxing behind fundamentals + high Workrate. Con: Glass chin
Crawford: Power, Speed. Con: Old


There was talk of “VADA” which can play a big role. But it’s PBC so I’m guessing it’s that VADA testing no one talks about nor is announced by VADA that Benavidez-Plant did, i.e complete bullsht.

Spence is probably my favourite active fighter. I have always felt Spence would be too big, too strong for Crawford but now I’m not too sure. There are still many unknowns about Crawford. How much dog does he have about him? Can he take a punch as well as Spence? Does Spence still have the punch resistance of old? It’s just a great match up and I can’t wait

Glass chin!! are you serious?

Errol gets stronger as the fight goes on, but Crawford gets smarter as the fight goes on.

Which do you like?

I've never seen anyone question this about Crawford lol.

Also, how do you rate Spence's chin? I think both are average at best.

I agree. Crawford is pretty much a junkyard dog. He’s a real tough and scrappy guy.

[just the facts]

In my opinion and most boxing fans

Pros: fights happening
Cons: they’re ain’t any

With all due respect which fighter did he have to dig deep for? Not diminishing his accomplishments but he has had a easy ride through no fault of his own. I was not impressed with his fight vs Jose Benividez. He stopped a shot ,Kell Brook with his first shot that he connected with but Kell brook had Joy. Yes he stopped Porter but Porter easily could have got up.
