Comments Thread For: Roach Gives Crawford Edge Over Spence: The Best Fight in Boxing

[WesternChamp]

I agree that Crawford seems to have more tools, but the question is, can he take a shot from Errol? Will Crawford's power transfer from 135, all the way to 147? Crawford vs. Spence Jr., is a better skills matchup than GGG vs. Canelo II, or Wilder vs. Joshua! The only matchup that can compete is Mikey Garcia vs. Vasyl Lomachenko!

why wouldnt it transfer over?? crawford is not a natural 135 fighter (i dont know why people keep acting like bud is a small guy). dude was draining himself. he walks around at 170. he'll be fine. the question is not so much about his power but his chin. can it hold up to the heavier guys at 147.

Hearns fought like an idiot

Crawford is a tactician

Hearns is one of the GOATS. What do you mean fought like an idiot?? Go back and watch his fights.

So you are telling me you agree with how Hearns fought against Hagler?

Hearns was chinny and was the better boxer and you think it wasn't idiotic to go in there and try and take out a guy with a granite chin who naturally bigger at the weight than you in the first few rounds.

It was the ******est game plan ever.

And if you think Crawford who is the better boxer will go it with that game plan you are even more of a fool.

I disagree. Chinny? Hearns fought all the way up to LHW. Watch him drop Duran, Cuevas and out box Benitez. Oh, you probably don't know who those guys are. Hagler FORCED Hearns to fight that way Mr. Dundee...lol!

Leonard took him out in the 14th when he had it in the bag.

Barkley had him doing a dance.

When he gets tagged, he don't recover, can't control the legs.


People just like to say Hearn Hagler as it was a memorable fight

This fight will be Spence vs Crawford and it will look nothing like Hearns Hagler.

You sir are no boxing historian. You just named a SRL fight where Tommy came in dehydrated and beat the **** out of Leonard for 14 rounds. Barkley was a monster and would have dropped almost anyone. Son...you sound biased and a little ignorant. lol! Get a handle on those emotions.

How is that?
So Roach is a reverse racist against himself?
Does everything have to be about race?
How about people give their honest assessment of a fighter, regardless of race, color, creed, ethnicity, background, etc etc. Boxing is boxing. Real fans don't give a sh|t about race. Either you are good or not. End of story.
Easter got a bogus decision on Saturday against a Dominican fighter Fortuna. Was that racism?

You nailed it!!

Spence controls the fight, keeps Bud honest, goes to the body takes his legs out and beats him. Not that impressed with Bud yet. Sorry. Gamboa was and is a beaten shell. That fight means nothing to me. Kell Brook would give Bud fits. I see Spence winning, especially at WW.

so i guess roach must be a "racist" too
since he said that T Bud is better than vasily lomachenko huh?

Cut it out, everyone knows Bud would spank loma & the only reason he picking Bud over Errol is cuz Bud is in bottom rank promotions.

I favor Spence over Crawford and Thurman. Crawford has the skill, but Spenc has the patients and POWER.

Completely agree. Only someone with pop can slow down Errol.

I already said the exact same thing. The only fighter that I would pick to nullify Spence right now is Crawford.

Hell no Spence to powerful he would wear h down
