Imagine what Crawford would do?

[The Big Dunn]

Styles make fights man and I kept telling myself this weekend Crawfords gameplan in his fights is to get there 1st, sorta like Brooks was doing but Brook didnt get out of the way. Crawfords footwork is much better imo than Brooks.

I agree that styles make fights, I agree Crawford is a level above Brook. I also agree he is faster and has better footwork. I think Crawford will beat anyone not too heavy for him and can box and move if someone is too heavy.

I think they'd have to fight sooner rather than later because Spence seems very big and likely will be at 154. I think I would lean toward Crawford right now given the things I think Spence needs to fix.

So Manny/Horn winner faces Crawford in Dec. Thurman should be healed by then so Spence/Thurman in January. then winners fight in May .

I think the PPV buy rate for this Horn crap will determine it. Who else is there that fans will accept?

Few months ago I thought Broner but now that doesn't look reasonable. Maybe my boy Danny garcia. I don't know if fans will accept Danny coming off a loss.

Agreed. I don't think fans will buy anymore perceived mismatches. I think Garcia still could be in the running, even with the loss to Keith.

Bob has assured everyone it will but who knows. Crawford needs that signature win to really launch himself..

I kinda hope not, I like Crawford and I dont think he gains anything from beating Pac.

I think the win would look good on paper, but beating an aging Pac won't show much as far as his abilities. It will give him a lot of name recognition that will surely help on become that money making star

Yeah man, do you think Crawford would keep it southpaw?

I don't know but my guess would be that he spends most of the fight in Orthodox because Spence can be hit with the right hand and Crawford is going to need that punch to get Spence to respect his power. He'll probably switch whenever Spence feels he's gotten comfortable just to throw him off.

Wishful thinking man. Honestly, Arum is Arum and Al Haymon would have to offer something $$$HUGE$$$ for Manny. Bob will do business but it has to heavily outweigh anything he can do himself meaning Al would basically have to buy out Manny because Bobs going to drain every penny he can out of Pac in the next 2 or 3 fights.

I agree I think Garcia vs Spence is the blood thirsty boxing fans dream. Id love to see this 1 in the interim

Dude, I know. Manny isn't going anywhere near Spence which is why his biggest fans like soul survivor and the like are bringing up Floyd. He isn't going anywhere near Thurman either.

best we can hope for is he gets put in a position where he can't financially afford another garbage fight and has to fight Crawford.

Didn't people just spend Months saying Kell Brook would do the same thing

I like BOTH, yes I do think Crawford quickness can give Spence Jr problems but on the flip side Spence Jr Inside game and Body Punching could slow Crawford Down just like it Did Brook and Brook was a BIG Welterweight! Crawford is much leaner and coming from 140!

You can't just look at things one sides this is something I see often on this forum. People will get caught up in talking about one guy as if the other guy won't be throwing punches BACK at him.

Crawford vs Spence in my opinion is the best fight that can be made at 147, it's more 50-50 than Thurman vs Spence. If anyone at 147 or below can keep Spence on the outside it's Crawford.

True. I really do think Crawford would be a difficult fight for Spence.

Honestly man, the only people really hyping up Brook were Brits which is understandable, they are a fun crowd. BUT I will be honest, I never thought to much of Brook. I think most that predicted a Spence win all figured the outcome we had (except the broken face).

I am just looking at this fight as a great style clash with Crawford having the superior style but of course this is hypothetical in the sense that we dont know how crawford does at 147.
