Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr - who wins?

[GhostofDempsey]

I would favor Spence. He has proven he can take a punch from a big strong WW in Brook. He won't be rocked by Crawford who has to move up in weight. Crawford has yet to be tested by a big puncher with boxing skills. If he gets tagged a few times by Spence he may just crawl into a shell and stay on the defensive.

No, he is too small and he gets hit too much

No... His skillset is better

[NYG]

Spence might be a little too big and strong for Crawford, i favor Spence just because he has a size advantage and he has skills too

[Sheldon312]

No... His skillset is better

Let me explain this to you. Spence is basically a Middleweight who makes Welterweight. Crawford is basically a lightweight who rehydrates to welterweight. Crawford has more of an arsenal but Spence has power, footwork, chin, and he can cut off the ring. The reason Kell was able to have some success was due to the fact that he was a big welterweight. Crawford won't have that same success due to huge size disparity. Think of Oscar vs Pernell or Hearns vs Wilfred. If Crawford had Floyd level defense then this would be 50/50. Crawford doesn't have it so he is a under dog against the top welterweights.

Spence by T/KO. Crawford got buzzed by inactive and blown up Gamboa ffs... that was with a massive size advantage too. Crawford hasn't fought anyone remotely good since then too... Postol doe Diaz doe. Spence bodies the Top Rank hype job. Let Crawford have his time as undisputed weak 140lb champ because if he moves to welterweight and fights the top guys he will lose to a few of them.

I'd be lying if I said I know for sure who wins. My head says Spence, but my head also says TC. 50/50.

[BoomBoomBaam]

I got Spence winning mainly due to size. If they were both the same size it would be 50/50 for me.

[Mammoth]

I wonder how these guys look standing next to one another

As good as Crawford is, I don't think he'll be as successful at WW. There is a huge skill gap between 140 and 147. On top of that, the other WWs are all going to be bigger and stronger than him. Errol Spence for example, would just run through his punches and probably stop him.

Not to say he wouldn't have any success. I think he would beat Pacquiao, Danny Garcia, Jeff Horn, Amir Khan. But Thurman, Porter and Spence would be very tough fights.
