    Then I guess Spence shouldn't have avoided Crawford for the last 4 years with his "Side of the street" bull**** then.

      Username checks out. Can’t have Crawford be TOO good I suppose, especially if he matches or exceeds 50-0 record before he retires.

        Why y'all always trying to make everything about Floyd? I never mentioned Floyd once. Besides Crawford has a long way to go before his legacy is even close to Mayweather's. Crawford beat one good fighter. Floyd has dominated the sport for two decades.

            The majority were picking Crawford to win. Crawford was even the Vegas favorite.

              So when Floyd fought Pacquiao he wasn't the prime version and when Spence fought Brook, Kell was damaged goods, but Spence being ejected from a car at 100mph and suffering a detached retina a few years later was prime and should never be mentioned? Some logic there.

              That's not taking anything away from Crawford. After last night, I'm certain he defeats any version of Spence, but this is simply dissecting his opponents, like what people do to every other boxer ever.

                A fresher Spence wouldn't have been any different. Bud is level's above Spence. I said this in another thread. Bud didn't even leave first gear in this fight. Spence gave him no reason to change anything he was doing.

                  If a fighter is "shopworn", that means they've been in many wars or have been beaten down many times with not much left... Spence hasn't been in any wars and took his first beating last night...

                    casuals will never understand that Bud is levels above Spence. Errol literally had NOTHING in his toolbox to deal with Bud's technique. Carry on with your excuses

                      Classic cognitive dissonance that happens after a shock win.
