Comments Thread For: Crawford: "Spence Didn't Hit As Hard As Everyone Said He Did"

Took the words out of my mouth. Mean Machine strong AF

If he had an American name he’d have been a top 5 WW

Naw, Mean Machine got stopped by green Vergil Ortiz even quicker than when Crawford stopped him.

Was it a weight issue, was it the long lay off, or was it that Crawford is just that strong?

We would never know, but for sure Crawford is the more skilled and faster boxer.

Only way to know is rematch 154 so their is no excuse about the weight issue.

He went close fight with porter pre accident. Then he dominated garcia post accident in a fashion that one has done so. The accident played no role. You can make the case the lay off post accident made him a better fighter.

Agreed. When Mean Machine cracked Ortiz, you could see in Vergil's eyes the realization that he was in against someone who hit with bricks in his hands.

He didn’t look ruined against Ortiz. Gave a good account of himself before getting stopped.

Porter and Brook said Spence punched harder.

What people don’t realize is that there’s different types of power. You have a guy like Crawford whose punches are gonna have extra snap on them. They’re whipping.

Then you have Spence. Spence is probably naturally stronger, denser, and heavier, so his are going to have weight to them. Spence doesn’t have to land clean for you to feel it either. Part of what gives Crawford his power is his placement and accuracy. He hits you in the right spots.

Spence probably just has to touch you in order for you to feel it.

He would and if bud goes to 154 they just might fight lol

His power was always somewhat overrated. Little Mikey came up two weight classes and was able to take his best punches.

Virgil is never gonna fight again. Rabdo will keep coming back.
