Comments Thread For: Thurman on Spence-Crawford: This (Undisputed) Is What Boxing Needs; Something Mayweather Never Accomplished

U got that right, but ppl tend to forget about that. Not jittery, paw too much with the jab, telegraphing, can't pull the trigger Sugar Shane. Prime Sugar Shane was super twitchy, explosive, snappy jab, no telegraphing, and was cracking hard. That Sugar Shane was not to be fu.ked with. Floyd didn't want sh.t to do with that dude. See, if Floyd would've fought that Shane, he could have had his Hearns/Leonard moment where he was prime for prime against another top dawg of his time. He could've had a 3 fight series with him, and been beloved by all but there's a good chance he wouldn't be undefeated today. Instead, he waited Shane out, until he knew there was obvious signs of slippage.

You sure about this?

Did you forget about Shane’s toothache issue he told Larry Merchant when asked directly about fighting Floyd?

Maybe not, but Floyd was 37 on his way out the door. I don't hold it against him.

I expect you to say the same about Crawford

Look at who Floyd fought. Now go look at who Bud fought.
