Comments Thread For: Crawford Says Spence's Size Doesn't Matter: I've Been Smallest But Strongest My Entire Life

The size difference isnt that much

they are both large welterweights, both could fight at 154.


The biggest difference is the style match up.

Otherwise both have been hurt and both get caught. I expect the opening rounds to be pretty cautious after that I dont know, I think crawford has more variety and angles to his game.


Spence I think some of his advantages in size, strength and age are nullified by his car crash and we never seen his jaw tested much after that crash other than Ugas stunning him.


Maybe crawford gets old over night at 35 but I dont expect that.

For sure, it’s about time.

If that’s true about the 12-15lbs more, I wonder if he will fight Crawford with an inside fighting type of style and use his weight to kind of wear him down. He wore down Ugas by just coming forward and fighting like a dog, but Crawford moves better than Ugas and punches harder.

He fought like that with porter and from just watching clips side by side, spence got hit by porter a lot more than crawford got hit by porter. both of them can have leaky defense, its pretty hard for me to predict this one, I think crawford wins though.

It will be good to see Crawford get cracked repeatedly and get on his bike. I know Crawford is great but I can't judge how good or durable a fighter is until I witness them weather a storm. Spence vs Brook was back and forth for 7/8 rounds. Spence had to dig deep. I want to see them same from Crawford. If Crawford comes out of this fight unscathed then he is a special fighter. However, I see him getting stopped on his feet. Although I also see Spence looking out of his depth early on in the fight

I asked one of my OG’s that worked with Murad Muhammad here in NJ. He said pick Spence because he will weigh as much as 15-17lbs more on fight night.

I dont think that size difference is that much, crawford cuts a lot of weight too. I remember they tried to hype jeff horn vs crawford by billing horn as being so much bigger and they were the same damn size. If they fought at 154 then I think spence could get a larger difference on fight night. I cant see him being more than 5-8 pounds more, spence still has to make 147 here. crawford has to be 160ish himself

Just hoping we get a special fight that's not overshadowed by corruption. Not sure I'll buy it if they put that jackass Moretti on it.

Could be a factor. Crawford hasn’t fought any high level guys that could walk him down and use their length advantage to keep him at bay.
Crawford is a very intelligent and versatile fighter so he can overcome it but it would be a new challenge for him.

just out of curiosity, who was the last guy Crawford fought with a reach advantage (I know he has the advantage here, but just curious)

If I gambled, I'd pick Spence for that very reason.

[Fact]

Crawford will get robbed on the cards, he has no promotional backing.

I got to set the record straight about Errol Spence JR. People thinks he's one dimensional, but he's not. He's mainly only used one dimension, but that's because no one can change his onslaught of blows. He throws high volume, quick, accurate, hard hitting punches- in combination- for 12 rounds. They think he wants to fight outside because his jab- one two- tactic, alone, can win most fights. But he really wants you to stop moving and get inside so he can really hurt you with his hooks and bone breaking uppercuts. Boxers are in a, "damned if they do damned if they don't", predicament with him. His ability to impose his will is like iron- similar to the way Canelo breaks down a fighter. He will walk Crawford down. As long as he doesn't get tagged with something he cant handle, he'll win.
