Crawford vs Spence

[_original_]

It's really hard to say what Crawford does at 147, he could wipe the entire division out or lose to a guy like Danny Garcia and fail to crack the top 3. So we still need to see how he looks there and unfortunately the Horn fight will provide little insight.

Floyd never walked through anyone at WW. He wouldn't "break" Spence down either, but he is far too fast, defensively equipped, reflexes too sharp, and fights from a range better than Spence. The only thing Spence has is power and he needs to be set to throw anything (which is what we saw tonight).

but slow as a snail maidana gave him hell and arguably beat him the first fight (rematch ruined by bayless).

maidana also had success tagging floyd with jabs.

spence has a power jab, can cut the ring, lethal punch selection, gas tank on full, solid chin, and never takes a round off.

spence will beat the dog sht outta floyd.

a list of guys who gave floyd issues all had a few things in common the night they faced him: volume and pressure. (cotto, oscar, maidana, castillo). hatton fight ruined by cortez.

if maidana can pin floyd on the ropes all night so can spence. and unlike maidana spence shots more precise and polished.

spence TKO10.

im going off floyds past history vs volume, jabs and pressure and also by the well known beatdown he suffered vs spence in sparring. yea sparring is different but its still two mofos throwing hands.

Maidana is orthodox and fought 37 yr old Floyd. Maidana also has very underrated defense.

So the thread was about prime for prime - not old, washed up Floyd.

Spence is southpaw, Maidana orthodox.

Maidana likes to get messy and Spence doesnt fight like that at all. What I mean by that is Marcos smothers on the inside and uses dirty tactics to bully. Spence does nothing like that.

How you used a Maidana performance against an old Floyd to evaluate how prime Floyd would do against this Spence...intellectual disability :/

[icha]

two great fighters evenly matched, i would favor spence, too strong for bud...

Spence and Maidana couldnt be more different so it’s ******ed how someone would use floyd-Maidana as some measuring tool lol.

Spence has nothing that Floyd has never seen before.
