Comments Thread For: Crawford: Spence Is a Good Fighter, But He's Not Indestructible

[WesternChamp]

I loved it when they asked Crawford about facing Spence on "First Take"....Crawford was like "...if he calls me out, I'ma look at him and say "Let's get it on!".. No fear in this guy. A real throwback.

why he gotta wait for spence to call him out??

The welterweights throughout time been one of the hottest and competitive divisions in the sport but in recent times many have refused to fight their peers and it has lead to the division going cold.Fighters like Spence and Crawford could change all this .They are the real deal and unlike the rest have no fear fighting the best .......bring it on guys .....can't wait!

I don't think any of these guys are afraid of anyone. It's just that the business side of things get in the way.

I was way high on Spence before the Brook fight, but for the first 6 rounds of the Brook fight he seemed very limited in his ability to deal with what Brook was doing. It was only when Brook faded from round 7 onwards because of the weight that Spence started to dominate. Crawford won't fade after 6. Easy night for Bud.

I would love to see Bud beat up on AB @ 147! Anyone hear about the Ocampo vs. Ponomarev IBF eliminator bout yet?

I expect Puff Nipplez running scared. Again. He turned down the Cotto fight in a heartbeat and fights Matthysse's leftover next. Pathetic.

Well, the context was that Crawford was saying that Thurman is the man to beat at 147 and not Spence. Stephen A. Smith disagreed and Said that he saw Spence as the man and asked what Crawford would do if Spence called him out.

[Hmabshir]

Let Crawford get settled in 147 then we will see them fight. Spence will get worked over 12 rounds man. Guy has no head movement and no upper body movement he stands up straight. All he has is his size to bully you and fundamentals and body shots. Thurman and Spence work him.

I like Crawford's mentality, I think he has a good chance to be Spence if they ever do meet in the ring.
