    This persona is getting old, Earl. Time to switch it up.

      Have you ever heard of Dmitry Pirog or Vasyl Lomachenko? Even Provodnikov who is a second tier Slavic fighter had Bradley out on his feet for 12 rounds LOL Nice try.. Kovalev is every bit as slick & athletic as Crawford when he's on it!

      You're a bit too old to be exposing a racial bias in such a dumb way aren't you? It's just generalizing/stereotyping. European style is stereotyped as being stiff, upright fighters who come-forward and don't bend at the knees but obviously it doesn't apply to all of them. Kovalev, Golovkin, and Lomachenko have completely different styles only a tool wouldn't see that! Never mind we know you're just mad at EE/Soviet fighters stacking up the divisions!

      Well done to Crawford but you're a tit.

        No it's horse*****....Jacobs "american" style was dismantled by Pirog. Every style has it's weakness.

        Sadam Ali's "american" style was dismantled by Vargas.

        Canelo is plodding yet one of the slickest in the game. Best pure boxer in the sport is probably BJS.

        Postol can fight at one angle and at one height, anyone who could match his speed of hand/foot and do more than that was gonna beat him.

          Crawford
          Spence
          Wilder
          Ward

          Those are the best boxers now you need to deal with it.

          Slick Americans > basic plodder don't like it go watch ufc
          Spence hasn't even been tested by a top tier pressure fighter anyway so how do you know his style will cope? It's about individuals not a blanket style.. I bet you only think in pictures don't you? LOL His amateur record shows him getting losses to numerous EE's:



          Wilder? He is about as slick as Sam Peter LMAO

          Funny thing is the two slickest boxers in boxing right now are NON AMERICAN! Loma & Rigo. Sorry but Crawford is ONE of the best boxers in the world right now.

            Is Jacobs all that "slick" though? Not sure. Pirog also had a style that wasn't your typical "European" style...he was very technical from what I remember. Also Canelo should his ability to be "slick" against Trout when he was hitting and moving.

            Don't get me wrong the European style has it's benefits. I just think "pure" boxers prevail against it 8 times out of 10 tbh.

              Jacobs was probably more athletic than slick. I've heard people describe Devon Alexander as slick....That is literally just because he is a black American...it's crazy

              But that makes it not a european style no? Hatton, Brook, Fury, Froch, Calzaghe, Saunders, Frampton and on and on and on.....Why is their styles not considered european?

              Canelo's movement was impressive against Trout.

                  I can think of numerous slick US fighters of recent years who have been beaten.. Look at Jermaine Taylor he got his ass beat by Pavlik, AA & Froch. Chad Dawson got whooped by Pascal & Glengoffe etc

                  GRJ, Broner, Dirrell, USS Cunningham, Hopkins, Paul Williams, Bradley.... I think it speaks volumes that whenever a US fghters beats a EE numerous idiots on here overplay it & try to re assert US dominance! Just shows how much they are rattled by EE's & how far they've come! Also shows insecurity on the part of TS. Well done Crawford.
