    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.
    OK I get it but sadly I didn't see many posting this before the fight, easy to post that NOW after the fact!

      Is the Spence hate going to be like what it was with Mayweather where you guys just shamelessly jump from bandwagon to bandwagon?

        Both are black americans and stars in the making and have different promoters. Stop dreaming about fantasy fights.

          At this point all we can do is imagine what Crawford would do. He still hasn't been tested by anyone on Spence or Brook's level. If he moves to 147 he has his hands full with Spence, Thurman, Pac, Garcia, Porter, and even Khan. No easy path to glory at 147.

              Crawford hasn`t done anything at 147, not yet. I don˙t know why he is seen as some capital threat in ww?

                Arum aint making that fight happen until he is 110% sure Manny is completely passed it

                  That's your imagination. In my imagination Spence KOs Crawford. Spence is a KO artist and a master body puncher. He isn't Diaz or little Gamboa. Crawford is a better long range boxer than Spence and has a better defense. That's not going to save him from defeat if he fights Spence. Spence can take Crawford's power. He will force his way close to Crawford and fuc him up and break him down in close range fighting. Spence is great at getting his hands free and continuing to punch when his opponent tries to hold him. Crawford can't take Spence's powerful and accurate attack to the head and body for 12 rounds.

                    Spence ain't getting enough respect, he just beat the #2 or #3 welterweight, in his backyard, by stoppage. How often do you see a stoppage in a fight between two elite fighters? Not often, so that alone is impressive.

                    Very predictably, people are rewriting history and pretending this wasn't viewed as a 50-50 fight. Guys who picked against him are very bitter and the backhanded compliments make that very obvious.

                    Spence would be a clear favourite over Crawford and anybody else at 140-147 right now.

                      Personally like, I think Brook, Porter, and Thurman beat Crawford. Crawford hasn't fought anybody to make me think he beats any of those guys. I don't understand the hype.
