a very good win especially with the way he did it, spence may have been as healthy as he can be but with his limited contests in recent years its tough to really get a handle on where he was at, inactivity & injuries usually dont result in a sharp guy in the ring thats needed v top guys

Fight should have happened years ago. So you people better get involve in the noise when someone is intentionally delaying fights. Otherwise, don't cry when he gets beat or make excuses why your idol lost.

Whether Spence was 100% or not (and he was), Crawford fought him when he thought he was at his best. Even crossed the promotional road to do it. No fear, just went in a battered him.

A lot more than Floyd did in the second half of his career. Always stacked everything in his favour. Pulled people up or down weights. Waited until they were old.

Bud deserves a huge amount of credit.

I'd say he has a pretty good case. Most dominant boxer ever. Most world champions beaten. 50-0. That's a damn good career.

What I'm saying is lets just ignore all of Spence's baggage and pretend he was 100%. How much credit does Crawford deserve for beating him? I think it's a solid win, but people shouldn't get carried and start comparing him to Floyd and Manny. At the end of the day Spence was a B level fighter who beat other B level fighters. Does beating someone at that level make you an ATG?

Full credit for the win for Bud. Imo it makes him unquestionably the top p4p boxer in the world.

Spence isnt a B level fighter. He is an A- level fighter.

Bud is an A+/A level boxer that showed they are the best of their era.

I think it compares favorably to Floyd v Manny in that Floyd was A+ and Manny was A/A- when they fought.
