    Who will have the better career? Errol Spence or Terence Crawford

    Both young, both unbeaten, both have barely put a foot wrong so far in the Pro's. Out of the two currently, its hard to dispute that crawford is further along in his development and has achieved more, so this thread isnt a comparison of current achievements. However, when its all said and done, who do you think will end up being the greater fighter and be remembered as such?

      Crawford, more versatile and his style ages better.

            Crawford is a much better fighter. Spence, IMO, is the very definition of hype. His hands are inconsistent, he doesn't move well laterally, and he's wayyyyyy too in love with his looping hooks. He can be outboxed, overpowered and countered.

            Those looping haymaker hooks need to stop. They were already the end of Peter Quillin, and will eventually betray Danny Jacobs, Spence and Wilder.

                Crawford has been pro 4 years longer so he has a lot more experience

                  who is Terrence Crawford going to fight?

                  He's got access to the belts at 140, but there's literally no one on his side of the fence to fight at 147 beyond Pacquiao, Bradley, and Vargas.

                  Errol Spence Jr will get the chance to prove his talent, but he has fights against Thurman, Garcia, Brook, and basically 15 of the top 20 fighters at the weight available to him.

                  HBO can spin whatever they want, but Crawford isn't flattening guys and you can only go so far without having folks to fight.

                    Doesn't take years to see meaningful fights happen in the TR side. Takes decades in the Haymon camp. Crawford/Postol, Walters/Lomachenko, etc. Arum is way better building up fighters. Haymon just lets them rot.
