let me extend an apology on the behalf of these half wits who joined the bandwagon when the hype was big.
I am a fan of Spence from as far back as the Olympics. Nobody was rocking with him on this website like that when he came on the scene. It was Canelo, Pac, GGG, Floyd and nonsense.
Spence got his ass whooped and I don't see any way for him to rectify it. As you said, he doesn't have the style to do it.
Crawford isn't losing power moving to 154. Spence got hit flush once and was shell shocked. You can see on his face he had the look of someone who said "what tf is in his glove?"
He's not beating Crawford and I said that humbly as the leader of this Spence team. The conductor of the Spence bandwagon. Their ignorance should not be taken as law. Instead accept what I have said in this comment as the true stance of true Spence fans.
Man, I'm hurt. Had to remove his name from my sig. He was the successor since 2012. Since the f.ucking Olympics and he got f.ucking wrecked. Unbelievably wrecked to the point he looked like an actual bum. I couldn't believe it.
By round 4 I said "he's not beating Crawford" and sat in disbelief.
F.uck.

I applaud this post. It’s just a case of a very good fighter losing to a great fighter.

Khan fought Luis Collazo, Devon Alexander, and Chris Algieri at WW before fighting Canelo! He did not go up 2 weight classes to fight Canelo! He went from 147 to 155, which is only 8 lbs.! Jermell is going from 147 to 168, which is 21 lbs.! BIG difference!
Terence Crawford: “Canelo Doesn’t Really Interest Me Because Of The Size Factor”
The question of ‘who’s next’ inevitably arose during the discussion, with speculation regarding potential rematches and fresh challengers. Crawford’s contract binds him to certain obligations, including honoring a rematch if that’s the desired move for his career. In response to this, he mentioned:
“That’s my obligation in the contract and I have to honor that. I want to thank Errol Spence, because without him really wanting to fight and doing what he can do, along with me to get this fight done, we wouldn’t be fighting.”
When TMZ Sports asked who he would choose as his next opponent, given the choice, Crawford didn’t hesitate before answering:
“I would definitely choose Charlo. It’s a meaningful fight; there’s more history, more on the table.”
However, he dismissed the idea of a potential fight with Canelo, citing the weight difference as a significant factor.
Crawford was direct when addressing the potential bout with Canelo Alvarez,. In his own words, Crawford explained:
“Canelo is two, three, even four weight classes above me, depending on which fight you’re talking about. So, to be honest, Canelo doesn’t really interest me because of the size factor.”
so again, NO, not every fighter would do what Jermell Charlo is doing! Comment

You're right but people will still consider him the undisputed champ since he never lost his belt in the ring and I'm sure Tim would rather actually beat the champ than be handed the title because Charlo didn't defend in time. Maybe you're right that Charlo is daring to be great but I still think it's all about the money and losing to Canelo at 168, two weight classes above 154, isn't as damaging to Jermell's career than losing to a contender in Tszyu who hasn't even fought for a world title yet.Comment

You can't compare the two. Charlo is way bigger than Bud who hasn't even fought at 154 yet. How long has Charlo fought at 154? His entire pro career to my knowledge. Bud came up from lightweight. At 6 foot and fighting his whole career at 154, Charlo at least has the frame to fill out at 168. Bud is 5' 8" and has already moved up multiple weight classes.Khan fought Luis Collazo, Devon Alexander, and Chris Algieri at WW before fighting Canelo!

If that doesn't hold any significance to you, I don't think you understand how weight classes work. The Spence fans thought he would be too big for Bud at 147. And don't try to say that Canelo is short too. He has a significantly broader frame than Bud which is why he started his pro career at 147.Comment

"He's truly never being in a fight that you can argue he lost."
You are right on the Mark! Not even the best of the all-time greats have won all their fights without controversy. This includes Muhammad Ali (Norton), Sugar Ray Leonard, (Hagler), Mayweather (Castillo), Chavez (Meldrick Taylor) ..and the list goes on.Comment

So because Khan fought at WW and 8 Ibs isn’t really a “big deal”, that makes it different? So there was a chance Khan could have beaten Canelo because 8 Ibs is meh! Well ok then.Comment
