Could Errol-Terence Look Like Cotto-Manny

[BoxingParadigm]

I see Crawford's counters playing a significant role in the fight, but I don't see it like Pacquiao vs Cotto at all.

How would you rate their chins

Hmm.. I think Spence has a better chin at 147 because he's the bigger one. He's taken big shots from other welterweights and never been dropped. I know Crawford hasn't dropped either if I'm not mistaken. But even though he's been fighting at welterweight for a minute now, he's still the smaller guy in my view. I don't want to predict a KO but I think there's a higher chance Bud suffers a knockdown before Spence does. What do you think?

Errol Spence has much better defense and a much better chin than Cotto. Pacquiao was a lot faster and had more foot movement than Crawford.

Donât forget, Miguel Cotto had been hurt badly already, and dropped hard by several fighters. Also on my scorecards, Cotto had lost his previous fight, to Joshua Clottey. I also had Cotto-Mosley a draw.

Judah, Corley and Torres all hurt him hard.

Cotto was the underdog for a reason.

I had cotto/clottey a draw. Cotto over Mosley 115-113

Terence has the firepower superiority and chin inferiority

he packs the punch and has been hurt worse when caught

Terence has been knocked down by an overhand right from an Eastern European welterweight

both Errol and Terence get caught with right hooks

both fight as southpaws. So I see their right hooks playing a major role in this closed stance matchup

Terence catches guys from awkward angles also

now that manny is gone

Terence is the new awkward angles guy

Good stuff. Can't wait for this fight.

[ELPacman]

Naw, not to rain on anyone's parade but I'm not feeling this fight anymore, they took too long.

This fight feels more like the Canelo-GGG trilogy fights, they where too friendly with each other, didn't take the fights seriously and were doing it mostly for the money.

I don't think they'll be too friendly in the ring because at the end of the day, unless it's scored a draw, someone's "0" is going to go. Neither want wants the other to have that accolade as having taken the other's "0" away.

In a world where fighters are so damn afraid to step and and lose their "0", I give big props at least to both of these guys.

Cotto had been beaten to a pulp a year prior to Margarito and was coming off a disputed, close win over Clottey. Not to mention Cotto was fighting a few pounds drained. Plus Bud Crawford isn’t in the same league as that prime version of PacMonster and Bud is 36 with a decent resume. I fail to see any comparison here, my guy.
