Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Doesn't Believe Spence-Crawford Is a 50/50 Clash, Siding With Crawford

[KING S.O.G]

Bud will make history by becoming the first undisputed champ in 2 weight divisions

[Manic Shot]

I had 55-45 Spence, no KO!

So Spence has fought top welters multiple times and Crawford hasn't at all. Why is this fight even a 50-50 ? . Spence is going to shock all these so called experts. Spence is going win and quite handily. What has Crawford done ? Beat a totally washed up , retiring 35 yr old Shawn Porter ? . Spence TKO 11th.

Because we've seen smaller "HIGHLY SKILLED" fighters go to the higher weight class and win. "Floyd vs. Oscar, Cotto, and Canelo!" Crawford is definitely capable of winning.

I tend to agree, I mean if this fight would of taken place 3 or 4 years ago, I would most likely say Spence has the advantage and should be the favorite. But it's 2023, Spence has had a car accident with serious injuries, eye problems, ect ect, so it's not Spence at 100%, so yeah, Crawford should have the advantage and win, I mean if he can't beat Spence now, it says everything about Crawford, especially with him never having a signature win, and even if he does win, it doesn't automatically put him as the best P4P, at this point he needs to do more than just beating Spence, who is a shell of his old self....

A shell of his old self? LOL. He has 3 world titles and beat Ugas who was a black horse in the welterweight division with momentum on his side.

I never gave Spence a chance against Bud until the Ugas fight. That was by far Spence’s best performance. If he shows up with that kind of pressure it will be a 50/50 fight.

I just hope Errol don’t have another one of those moments he had with Ugas when he froze and appeared to be stunned.

I believe I heard Errol say he froze because he thought his teeth came out or something.

I just hope he stays really defensively responsible because Crawford does have one shot power that can change or potentially end the fight.

Didnt Holyfield do it 1st? But yes, hoping Bud does it as well.

I see Crawford as the favorite in this one as well. Spence looked his best vs Ugas but, Bud isn't Ugas. The best version of Spence seen to date is fundamentally sound, good cardio and strong but, Crawford brings more to the table. That said, I'm biased since he's my favorite boxer of this era.

I won't know that Crawford is an elite fighter, until he faces a real fighter at 147! He has not done so, and Spence has multiple times! That's why I say it's still 50/50! BTW, I think Boots beats them both!

And Boots has definitely never faced a “real opponent” but somehow the things you said about Crawford don’t apply to him. And Spence’s two best victories were against Kell Brook and Shawn Porter who Crawford defeated much easier moving up in weight and not being a career long welterweight like Errol Spence.

Lmfao what elite fighters has Spencer faced? Please tell me I need a good laugh

[Boxviewer]

I think he beats neither.He is not seasoned enough in my opinion. He hasn’t fought anyone even at European level talk less World level. Bags of potential though

Well said. Americans tend to hype their boxers far beyond their achievement. Boots hasn't fought a live dog but some of them have already deemed the best of the division. It's quite premature and ridiculous. The guy surely has potential but it doesn't equate to being the best, he has to prove himself vs live dogs and the elites of the division.
