    Here's the question. Is Crawford really that much smarter than Spence?

    Crawford gets praised for being the smarter fighter, but is he really?

    We've seen Crawford dig in the crate and pull all his tricks out the bag. We have yet to see that from Spence because he hasn't had to. We saw a glimpse of his repertoire against Mikey Garcia, but I don't think we've seen his full potential of skills.

    Is Crawford really the smarter fighter?

    I think they are at a similar elite level, neither man has a clear cut method of beating the other. Probably why this fight has taken so long to make neither side is confident of an assured victory its all up for grabs.

      Crawford manages distance better and his ability to switch-hit is a big advantage. He's going to walk Spence into something in the mid-to-late rounds.

        What Spence does tends to work for him so rarely do we see the need for him to make significant adjustments which may make people think that.

        We have seen Crawford win multiple fights in various ways after making adjustments on the fly. Based on what we've seen, Crawford is the more versatile of the two but that will only matter if Spence primary form of attack doesn't work. If Spence can do what he always does, Crawford is not going to beat him at his own game.

            Well Crawford doesn’t stop fighting half way through a fight and wander off to get his gumshield like Spence has twice he’s lucky he didn’t get knocked out vs Ugas

              Yes by far not even close. I had porter beating spence by sd. The porter told me everything i needed to see that spence has zero chance to beat crawford

                Crawford is more creative and versatile than Spence, and that has a lot to do with his superior boxing smarts.

                  Enough with this bull****. Dud is a southpaw, plain and simple. All that switching to orthodox is just for show, once he starts getting hit in that stance, all that **** goes out of the window and he reverts back to being a southpaw.

                    Unfortunately, it doesn't work like this.

                    Based off this theory, Mayweather would've gotten destroyed by Pac being that Pac beat Cotto, DLH and Hatton better.

                    Ali would've gotten destroyed by Foreman being that Foreman beat Frazier and Norton better.
