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

[Sheldon312]

Thurman is 2 inches shorter, does not have world level power, isn't particular quick or smart. What he does do, is jog around the ring and modern judges think that is boxing so yeah, he could win a dubious decision but I'd still doubt it.

If Khans chin was better hed box the ears off Spence.

The only guy currently between 140-147 who beats Spence clean is TC.

You're smoking crack. Thurman is a better overall boxer compared to Thurman. The only think Spence does better is cut off the ring and use the jab. Spence does nothing else better. And explain to me how a guy who started at 135 has a better chance than a guy who is technically a 154 pounder, has great punching power, a good chin, much quicker, great counter puncher, and pretty good defense? Boxing scene be on some ****.

Crawford says his power will follow him into the WW division. If he doesn't walk through school marm Horn, he'll have trouble with the top guys.

Even if he schools Horn, that doesn't mean that it's going to be easy against guys like Thurman, Spence, Porter, and Danny. All four of these guys would beat Horn right now.

This fight is everything Leonard-Hearns was. Two young, undefeated, immeasurably talented fighters facing off for the belts and the glory. It's what makes boxing great.

Not really too much of a size disparity between Spence and Crawford

****ing yes, what a boy. Crawford is becoming my favourite fighter.

Spence is pretty big compared to Crawford, and has to be a fair bit stronger. Terry could dance around and pepper but does he have just as much as or more pop than Brook to keep Spence honest?

Would love to see this fight.

Crawford does it in different ways. Brook kind of stands in front of you and trades...so he let's opponents get set.

Crawford doesn't let people get set and he often moves using range and angles as well as effective counter punching.

I think Crawford outboxes a game Spence *if* TC can handle the power and stamina of Errol. Make no mistake TC will do what he can to go to the body and people forget ES is not hard to find - Brook was doing good work on him, but doesn't quite have the skillset of ES nor the stamina or power.

TC is just as good as ES or better. He doesn't fight in a way that allows opponents to "always be set" like Brook does. And TC has demonstrated respectable pip and excellent stamina. With that being said he has also been hurt before. That can make a difference in a fight of this level.

I'd pick TC so long as he could withstand the power. It would be a 8-4ish decision

Thurman and Garcia are not good at all. Porter is just very difficult to fight because he headbutts, clinches, and smothers.

I hate watching Porter fight, but he is very hard to look good against.

ES must be accepted as the "goods" until proven otherwise given how he's looked. Yes, Thurman edged Danny in a very unnecessarily close fight and arguably beat Porter...but those aren't A level guys...they just happen to be near the top in a weak division.

TC and ES are #1 and #2 at WW with Keith being #3. Danny and Porter close out the top 5.

MW is much more exciting for now with Canelo, Gennady, DJ, Charlo, BJS, BooBoo, Deverancheko (however it's spelled lol)

Crawford vs Spence will be the biggest fight at welterweight.
Its only a matter of time.

Are you just pulling **** out of your ass? Thurman is a great fighter and so is Danny. Last I checked, Danny does have a better resume than Crawford, and Shawn porter is borderline elite also. If you honestly think Crawford has fought guys on the live of the top guys at 147 you are either bias or just racist.

I'm taking Spence in this fight

[Squ□redCircle34]

Gonna be a great great fight, the type to give you goosebumps right before the first bell!

Picking Crawford, too smart, crafty, creative, better footwork and will have more options to hit Spence since Errol would welcome coming forward with little respect for defense!

Don't get too excited folks. This fight, if it ever did happen, is years away.
