Comments Thread For: Crawford: When I Beat Spence, I'll Show I'm The Greatest Fighter of This Era

[joseph5620]

Spence was lucky to get a split decision vs Porter. He is basically Porter level. I hope he has somebody to throw the towel in for him like Porter did.

No he wasn't. He knocked Porter down and finished as the stronger of the two in a competitive fight. There was no robbery unless you're just trying to rewrite history.

crawford should get on to teo & they can have a good discussion about what position each one deserves in the top 10 ATG list

Comparing Teo to Bud is laughable. Bud would’ve wiped the floor with Taylor & Teo on the same night LOL.!

[Silence]

You might be greatest zero in this era.

Greatest fighter? Not in million years.

[messi807]

That would say a lot about the quality of this era

Canelo, Loma, Uysk, Spence, Bud, Golovkin, Bivol, Chocalitito, Inoue etc. Plenty of quality this era. I’m not saying it’s anything like the Floyd/Pac era but it’s packed with talent

[Roadblock]

so all crawford has to do is beat spence and hes the greatest welterweight of all time LOL

He didn't say that, not even close, he said the best of his era.

He didn't say that, not even close, he said the best of his era.

"When Crawford (39-0, 30 KOs) was asked if he should be considered the greatest welterweight of all time should he beat Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) on July 29 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, he answered, “of course – hands down.”

What does this mean?

[Smash]

Not that nobody has ever done it, but how many guys that you know of beat 2 Ring ranked top 10 pound for pound guys across 2 different weight classes the way Teo did? Within 5 fights on top of that.

Taylor got his ass handed to him by catterall and then was out of the ring for a year and a half running from the rematch

Yeah that’s not answering my question. What I stated remains a fact.

Did I say "Robbery"? No. This was a split decision. In a lot of peoples' eyes, it could have gone either way. Spence is PBC level. Porter level. Thurman level. There is a reason they stayed on their side of the street.
