    Spence Crawford overrated

    Who have these two beat that are actually good?

    Crawford = undersized guys and bums.

    Spence = Damaged goods Brook who was giving him all he could handle before the stoppage.

    Overrated? No untested? You can argue that in Spence’s case
    I give him credit for Brook and Peterson who gave Garcia all he could handle.

    They both have a Aura around them.
    Spence because no one wants too fight him including Brook who cashed out vs GGG.
    Crawford because he easily gets his opponents out of there.

      Brooke had gotten dropped, an eye socket broke and basically beaten into submission. As the fight ended, Spence looked unmarked. So what is your definition of "giving him all he could handle?". Spence was never in danger of going down, never hurt, and contrary to the commentators, every judge had it in Spence's favor at the time Brook quit. So no, this wasn't a close fight and Brook knew it wasn't close that's why he quit instead of taking another 4 minutes or so of abuse.

        Peterson was never anything but B minus, Garcia beat a fresher Peterson clearly.

        Stop this nonsense about Peterson giving Spence all he could handle, Peterson just tried to spoil the fight by dancing around like a clown and did nothing meaningful.

        Brook was damaged goods, not only that he was coming down in weight which he undoubtedly struggled to make.

        Both these guys haven't proven ****.

          Holy hell. Brook is a good fighter. It was competitive. So what?

            Before he was hurt it was pretty much 50/50.

            Brook was always overrated anyways.

                competitive how? As in Brook was doing the same thing to Spence that was being done to him? Ok, I'll ask you this, from rounds 1-10, which fighter would you NOT have want to be in his place?

                  Im a big fan of both Spence and crawford, but the bias and double standards are weird, I never criticize them but the same ones who give these guys praise are the same ones on youtube who diss Pac, loma, ggg opponents and skills.

                  They are Black so they cannot be overrated, its funny how people especially whites think also subconsciously Black equals good, when Floyd fought Pacquiao they said he schooled him when the fight was a stalemate but because they dont know **** and they are conditioned to think blacks are athletic and good and you cannot question them or you are a racist they just believe it

                  its like when you in school and everyone picsk the black guy first even if he isn't athletic because their mind is preconditioned.

                  the only ones you see get called overhyped, bums or jokes with no skill are non black boxers, if you call a black boxer hype or untested or flawed you are automatically racist

                  its pre conditioning years and years of saying black are victim

                  this why boxing has become a joke.

                  Just look how they give all these guys like Spence and Crawford a pass, Pac fights Horn he a scrub no name school teacher, Crawford fights him its an amazing win~ wow did you see Crawford skills? Spence fights Algieiri wow he stopped him Pac couldn't stop him, yes Pac could have but he whooped Algieri worse, the ref just decides in Pac fights not to stop them so they go to the decision, Algeri got dropped badly and the fight could have been waved off

                  Spence fights Ocampo no criticism from the black fans.

                  If Pac fights Bradley, Vargas, Lucas, Algieri, Horn everyone says cherry picked fight

                  bull**** also why do they never say a black fighter fights a tailor made opponent only when a non black does.

                    They are both really good and in Crawford’s case will prove to be great. I don’t know why people are so eager to label fighters overrated or garbage all the time. These guys are fighting the guys that will fight them and looking good.

                    I agree there’s a double standard out there that’s racially motivated (Spence resume isn’t as good as Loma, GGG or Usyk but it’s ignored when they all got **** for their work) but I think Crawford and Spence in general are rated accordingly - Crawford as a top 2 or 3 pound for pound guy and Spence a top 10 guy searching for a big fight. But yeah it’s not fair that a standard is “Loma gotta beat Crawford to prove himself” but Spence doesn’t have to and Mikey is accepted as the litmus test. That’s unfair.
