Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: "Errol Spence Can't Fight a Lefty!"

[factsarenice]

pac would have did a number on spencer.. glad he pulled out for his own health. the fans aint gonna stand by him if he gets damaged by pac. just look at how fast his fans left him after losing to crawford.

I followed Crawford and always thought he'd beat Spence. That said, I never thought Manny would beat prime Spence or Crawford and I was glad that fight fell through. Crawford and Spence are too big and too good to fight a past Prime Manny. Think about it, Manny had serious problems with Horn because of his size and strength and not his skill level. Errol Spence is bigger, stronger and much, much more skilled than Jeff Horn. I'm sorry but Manny, as great as he once was, is not that guy anymore and no, Manny doesn't beat Ugas, Spence or Crawford.

Bob is right. Spence fighting another southpaw did play a factor in his loss. However, it was not the sole reason why he lost. The sole reason why he lost was because of his lack of preparation for one Terence "Bud" Crawford.

Crawford was just the better man that night. He was the overall better fighter and athlete. Also, EJ lost because he just didn't train hard enough and it showed throughout the fight. He had a loss of conditioning, balance and timing.

Both Errol Spence and Derrick James underestimated Crawford and got exposed because of it. In addition, Spence paid a very hefty price for his lack of commitment and dedication to the sport.

He was overconfident that he would just stream roll past Bud due to his lack of size. However, much to his surprise and dismay; He was wrong. Bud was a lot stronger than he thought. Every punch Terence landed hurt him.

It has nothing to do with the southpaw stance, Crawford’s skill, timing and accuracy is simply something Spence can’t deal with.

Exactly. He can't fight an elite counter puncher. People can't seem to grasp this

BUD would win 10/10 times. Spence has no answers to the counters.

That might be true, but PBC MADE THE FIGHT, not Top Rank, not even a Cross-Promotion, because Arum thought is was going to be a flop! There's another chance to make HUGE money...Tank vs. Shakur! Let's hope they can get it together, or we'll just wait for Shakur to follow his mentor, Bud Crawford, right across the street like he did!

Spence made the fight, not PBC. Spence gave in to every demand.
The fight was made because both fighters made their own terms instead of having their promoters hash it out.

No it’s debunking your weirdo logic that Spence feared an old man who likely wouldn’t have stood a shot against him by pointing out the risks he’s been willing to take and the track history of it. Let’s me be real, what was there to fear, he had 1 ko in a decade.

nah.. you got caught in your own lies! LOL.. using triangle theories.. Pac beat hatton, cotto, oscar in a more easier fashion than Floyd. does that mean Pac beat floyd going by your triangle theory? LOL.

that’s not the logic, I was debating your dumbass conspiracy theories of Spence ducking pac because he was supposedly scared and backed out as a result. But, I see that you’re either too stubborn to admit that you were wrong or you’re just ******, which is very common among pac fans, likely due to a long line of inbreeding. So just go back to the basement you share with your sister cousin and leave the boxing talk for people who aren’t missing chromosomes.

I understand your point, but the only reason it didn't happen before is because Arum did not think it would sell enough to give the fighters what they wanted, and for him to make a profit! He thought whoever did the fight would LOSE money, and he kept saying he always loses money with Crawofrd! Well, now it's in the books! PBC did the fight, and it was a HUGE success!

Now Bob is ready to make Teofimo vs. Garcia @ 140, but that's only because he saw what Tank vs. Garcia did! He's always a step behind, but I hope he' s willing to do Tank vs. Shakur, because I think that's the next big money fight out there, other than Fury vs. Usyk!

pac beat tim bradley fairly easy but struggle against marquez, which bradley beat pretty easily. that's your triangle theory!! LOL
