Comments Thread For: Crawford: Fight With Spence Sells Itself, We Don't Need To Act Crazy

Without Floyd’s bad boy persona he does not become a global superstar, and does not hold 5 of the top 10 highest grossing PPV events.

You care about all of that because you are a Floyd boy.

If you do it fighting c fighters and past prime name fighters, nobody respects that.

" We Don't Need To Act Crazy"

Who do you think Crawford was referencing when he made the statement. Obviously he cares about not being looked at as a buck dancing coon sellout like Floyd.

Plus, at least in this case both fighters are as close to prime as you can get these days.

As for Bud and Spence not going out to sell the fight, it’s true but that fight will not sell 1.5 million PPV so who has the last laugh in the financial sense?

Who cares we want to see these two fighters go at it WHILE THEY ARE IN THEIR PRIME.

Not after one or both of them is shopworn.

That's the problem with you Floyd boys you want to regurgitate everything Floyd says that's why he never beat an all time great fighter in their prime because he was all about the reward with no risk.

Crawford is correct here. Make the fight, put on a great show that makes people want to see it again, and everything will take care of itself.

Crawford is going to be on his bike or at least on the outside hoping to counter punch for as long as he needs to. I expect Spence to press the action

Everyone knows that, he will outbox Spence. Pressure fighters don't do anything to Crawford, example Porter.

I thought I was crazy for having that fight so close, the PBC telecast were extremely biased from the start. I didn't quite have Danny winning, but I felt like Spence only just won 7-5.

That was my second or third rewatch of that match I was shocked.......Swift buckled him round 2 off a left hook and hurt him badly at the end as well, a sleepwalking frustrating swift dictated the fight in the ring that night minimized Spence punching arsenal.....Crawford aint a soaking wet 140 pounder like Swift though; Crawford could do all the things Swift couldnt and punch with murderous intentions......Spence lovers will say Im a danny fanboy I went rewatching with no hate gauging spence toughest match and his current level.

If Crawford stalks at the midrange picking his shots(pitty patting straights and jabs with Spence) and countering when he comes in, while not necessarily putting his body/face on the line he win the fight easily.... Spence is shytty at that midrange distance he like it close or long, off tape I saw Porter and Slow Swift both boxing the hell out him in spurts at that mid range distance with ones and twos and those guys arent those type of on they toes boxers to be accumulating these shots on spence, if the levels spence gets praised for yet he missed his biggest matches are real...Me I dont believe those levels he a guy that let a WW punching bag Mikey Garcia live; he simply a guy just a lil better than Swift and Swift is a mental pill guy who dont feel like punching in the mid of fights at times(so my assessment may not even be true there)

Off assessment of their recent fights Spence shouldve fought Thurman, Spence aint face no real welter, Ugas was a real big welter but he punched like a soft hitting lw. Crawford was manhandling Porter taking Porter best while laughing smiling and having fun, he had Porter with the look of death in his corner like daddy plz stop this fight im dying look, that was real; and that was levels.......

The reporters / media always ask the same damn questions anyway

"How's camp?
"What will it mean to be undisputed?

"what do you see in so & so that makes you know you can win?

"how hard was it to get this fight made?

"do you have a msg for so & so

[Carpe Diem]

Just say you don’t have the charisma to sell a fight. Simple.

Yeah but porter is a dumb fighter that smothers his own work. There is nothing Elite about Porter other than he is game. I respect him because everyone he has fought he has made it a difficult night including Crawford. Let’s not pretend he was not catching Crawford in the dome often. I just feel if porter can tag him so will Errol. Errol will have to dig deep but he will get to Crawford I have no doubt in my mind…… well just a little

[HandsofIron]

Crawford needs hire better PR people, dude can't sell a fight for his life.

[Raggamuffin]

The fight will sell itself and if it doesn’t, it won’t affect you mofos trying to stream it for free anyway. You’ll talk about the sales anyway if it doesn’t sell regardless. That’s what your armchairs do. I just hope that we get a great fight.

You care about all of that because you are a Floyd boy.

If you do it fighting c fighters and past prime name fighters, nobody respects that.

You don’t care about all that because of your obsessive toxic hate for Floyd.

C level fighters include Khan, Brook, Avanesyan, Kavaliauskas, Benavidez Jr and Horn. Nobody respects Bud beating a past prime Porter who had several losses.

As for creating drama to sell a fight, the great Ali did it so did Hopkins. Tyson Fury does it. Haney just did it in his fight with Loma. Mike Tyson did it, Prince Naseem did it. Hector Camacho did it.

But you’re stuck on Floyd, blinded with toxic hate and selective outrage that you choose to ignore all the great ones that did it.

As for both Bud and Spence being in their prime at 35 and 33 years old respectively, guess what your selective outrage is ignoring yet again? Floyd was 36 when he fought Canelo. He was 38 when he fought the ATG Pac-Man who was 36.
Oscar was younger than Bud at 34 when he fought Floyd but somehow he was past his prime but Crawford is in his prime.
I know people on crack that make more sense,
