Spence was shopworn. Lets not get carried away with Crawford hype.

    It's like MJ fans when LeBron accomplishes something. Don't worry, Bud woulda whooped Floyd's ass too just like Spence whooped Floyd in sparring.

      A lot of people denied how good Bud was for years. Now he proves it to you exactly how everyone demanded and still you don't give credit?

        Did a prime Spence know how to trade jabs? Different ball game than vs an orthodox fighter who he can strongarm through, Crawford need only jab with him and actually move his head/feet.

          That momentary lapse is hard to overlook. Something is seriously wrong with Spence, I'm convinced of that.

          His reflexes and reaction time last night was what you might expect from a worn fighter in his 40's.

            Stop embarrassing yourself. This is pathetic, but also expected from the casuals and PBC cheerleaders. Now you know why Uncle Al Haymon kept his fighters away from Crawford.

                I give him credit. The question is how much does he deserve. We just have to put things in perspective and not get carried away. People didn't give Spence and Crawford much credit for beating Brook because of his eye injury, so why ignore Spence's eye injury? Then there's the nearly two year layoff and multiple car crashes. All those things contributed to Spence's decline. He's just not the fighter he used to be. We have to keep that in mind when rating him.

                  You’d be fughin praising Spence if he won
                  I wish this fight happened five years ago when Bud was in his prime
                  No car crashes or the rest of the bullchit your spewing

                    That comparison doesn't make any sense. Is Crawford supposed to be LeBron? I'm just trying to add context. I've seen y'all discredit great wins for less, but we're going to ignore the damage to Spence's eye? The ring rust? Not to mention his back and neck are probably ****ed up from all those car crashes he's been in. He doesn't have the same speed or reaction time anymore and that's obvious.

                      I wish it happened five years ago, too. But Crawford was with Top Rank and Arum didn't want to work with Al or give Bud the Pacquiao fight.
