    Who do you want to win, Spence or Crawford? (Not a prediction thread)

    What is the significance to you as a fan if one or the other wins?

    Up to you to fly with your imagination how such win would produce fights you might want to see as a result of the win.

    I dont even know who i want to win, when mell was at 154, maybe crawford since we'll have an undisputed 147 vs undisputed 154, but now... i dont know who to support, may the best man win.

      I want Spence to win. Bud seems to be more about the zero. Its like Bud thinks if he beats Spence thats it. Hes made it and arrived. Bud needs to not do anything more if he beats Spence? Bud wont be a risk taker if he beats Spence, whereas Spence is already thinking about fighting Nelo.

        You have a point. And I don't want to see that.

          If I'm asked who I want to see get humbled, it's Bud Crawford.

          BTW, I don't have any prediction other than 50/50.

            I'm pretty indifferent tbh, but I suppose i'd rather Spence won purely because hes a little younger so the sport will probably get a little more mileage out of him after this. In general hes more marketable too imo.

              Great question man. I've been thinking about this and wondering why I'm often rooting for the guy I don't think will win the fight.

              This match up is a little different because this is a really close fight and it's hard to pick someone. As of now my pick is Crawford, but I'd like Spence to win. I like Spence a little bit more and think he'll do more for boxing if he wins. If Crawford loses he might stay at 147lbs and fight Ennis.

                True. Crawford winning might become complacent and think he has achieved everything. Maybe he has, in his eyes, but such behavior might lose some fire in his belly, instead of having to prove himself again, which for fans is better.

                  I really believe most people don't have a clear prediction on who wins this fight.

                  And so the only real question to ask is who do you want to win? 10 days left and we'll soon see the result.
