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

[j.razor]

Lets hope one of them doesn't start making excuses and waits 6 years till the actually get in the ring.


Spence and Crawford do actually want to fight the best and they don't look the type to make excuses for 6 years, they are no Frauds.

Then stop "beating around the bush" & call it like it is, bob arum will never let that fight happen. Fighters are going to have to tell their promoters to do their JOB to make these fights happen or fire your promoter. Floyd had to run up on manny pacquiao at the Miami basketball game in halftime to get that fight done!

I just have supreme confidence in Crawford. He is the only guy I have seen, that beat a guy in their own stance while fighting switch. He has an amazing ring IQ, vision, and awareness. He basically does whatever he wants to in the ring. He can get caught early at times, but he's proven to get even sharper after getting tagged. Spence is going to be a tough nut to crack, but I just feel Crawford is one of those special fighters, once in a generation.

Personally, I think Crawford has more tools and out boxes Spence.

Unfortunately the fight today simply doesn't draw enough to cover the purse, it needs to build. Maybe in the future if there is enough demand but the problem is that Spence is a big WW and probably won't be able to make 147 for much longer.

No excuses, bob won't let this fight happen.

This gives me more confidence that Spence would win. Crawford was a Shook One on ESPN talking about the possibility of the fight.

****en lying ass lmao.

Spences style would be difficult for anyone but if anyone would do well against spences relentless come forward style it would be Crawford. TC would box him from the outside and use movement like he always does to pick apart spence. I think TC wins a close but clear decision, that is unless Haymon pays off the judges. Regardless we wont see this fight for at least a year or 2, it could be the biggest fight in boxing by them and they would do a joint Espn Showtime ppv like they did with May Pac

Don't try to flip the script! That's the work of the other promoters.

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.

Power looks good when you're hitting smaller guys! 170??? Impossible! No way can a guy that big, make 140, and stay within 10 the next day! I'd say he walks around 155-160 at most!

But I thought Manny had signed the contracts? Hahahaha!

Luckily Spence is no coward.

After Crawford has about 3 fights at welter I expect this fight to happen

No way in the world Crawford beats Errol Spence. I am not knocking Terrance Crawford he's a awesome talent I just think this is a "bad style" matchup for him. I don't think he has enough to keep Spence off of him. But somebody needs to tell Spence to stop calling out Canelo at 160 lol

Spence is a rare talent, but he is tailor made for Canelo. It would be a good fight though.

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!

How does dropping guys make show your chin is good?

Fighters that fought him knew a clean hard shot on his chin changes the fight, and Hearns starts doing the chicken dance.
