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

[D4thincarnation]

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

Specifically for the fight against Hagler.

Just to keep it simple...If Crawfords only chance is his boxing skills vs Spence boxing skill, then Bud is in trouble. Because remember.....Spence boxed/trained with Floyd and sometimes got the better of him (reportedly). So Bud and a lot of people will be terrified when that part of his style is revealed. Bud is gonna open that "pandoras box".
Spence is gonna have wins over Thurman, Brook, Crawford, and people will still doubt what they see

Actually the word is the 1st sparring session they had Errol was getting on Floyd's a*s & Floyd couldn't get away while Errol was pounding on him so the management team had to jump in the ring & stop the fight....Floyd got into a heated exchange of words & kicked him out the gym, 1/2 hr. later Floyd sends someone to get him & tells him he needs someone (Errol) like him to push him in sparring cuz nobody was, there was talk of Floyd having a black eye....reminds me when Floyd got hurt (ribs) in sparring getting ready for the Marquez fight which got postponed like a month I think, maybe why he didn't make weight....Then Errol & Floyd sparred about 5 more times & they said that Floyd was Floyd & got the better of Errol ever since. They even said Floyd was talking **** to Errol telling him he punches like a b*tch & they got back in the ring from the **** talk. Guess Errol caught Floyd sleeping & woke his a*s up in that 1st session....lol

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.

Good post. Bud is going to whoop Spence's ass and imo it won't be a match.

Luckily Spence is no coward.

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

I hope you right! & neither of them are cowards.

But Arum binding Crawford to ESPN will prevent it.

Lol...Haymon is no better. They are both pieces of ****.

I love this thread. Very easy to see how either man could win this fight. I still think we need to see Crawford at 147 for at least 2 fights before he tries his hand at this beast, but despite the ESPN/Showtime and promotion issues, in the end if the fighters want the fight it will happen. Spence is desperate for a real opportunity, and Crawford moved up to 147 for the challenges. These two warriors will want it, the fans will want it, and it will be worked out. Boxing will be better for it

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!

Lol. Bud posted a picture of himself on the scale about 2 weeks ago...177

It's a 50/50 fight that will probably go 12 rounds. I see Bud winning. I know Spence is always coming forward but along with his boxing skills, Bud can crack. It's not going to be so easy for Errol to come forward. He will be forced to use boxing skills also. This is the fight that needs to happen. I am boycotting Thurman until he fights Spence, but I'm hoping that he loses before that happens. He doesn't deserve to have those belts if he is going to hold them hostage. Dude never fights. Thinks he's Mayweather. I see Thurman as a front running cur.

Many will be disappointed this coming april. Horn will be the king of 147lbs.
