Comments Thread For: Spence: I'm Way Better Fighter Than Crawford; Who Has He Fought?

[kej718]

What about the Ocampo fight or his next fight coming up. He guaranteed 3+ mill every fight regardless of the opponent like Crawford?

If he keeps selling over 12,000 seats like his last fight he can. Plus he can make much more than that on PPV. With the Fox and New Showtime deal Haymon has a bigger budget and much more money to burn. Cawfords officially purse was 1.5 but he gets money on the back end like Spence does. Every PBC fighters brags about getting a second check for Haymon.

He was rumored to get that for the Peterson fight.

It won't let me post the article but just google Spence's purse. He doesn't need Crawford either and he has better options.

“I am told Haymon has promised him like $3.5M for his next fight, which is a lot of money for him to turn down and nowhere near what anyone else was offering him for a fight,” said Rafael in explaining why Spence isn’t signing with another promoter right now.

Well good move by Spence too! Can't hate on him for going after the money. After all, this is prize fighting and fighters want that prize!

Unless it's an obvious mismatch, when a fighter sez that about another, he just don't want it.

Arum and Haymon have worked together. Errol can focus on THAT possibility rather than simply dissing Crawford's resume.

This is a big fight on my wish list.

Yeah I agree it would be a fight I would be very interested to watch if it does get made, hopefully politics doesnt get in the way and were left with years waiting for a fight to 'marinate' (I really hate when people say that).

He has again been rewarded with a soft title at his new division

Wtf kind of statement is this? Again been rewarded with a soft title? He CLEANED OUT 140 and had all the titles!

Indongo garbage. Beating him he was rewarded as the undisputed champion of 140. Prograis eat him months later. What was his reward F#uck all.

Crawford beat up Jeff Horn who let’s be honest didn’t even beat An old Pacquiao. An welterweight can beat Jeff so a fighter as skilful as Crawford is a bloody cake walk and it was. I m not questioning Crawford’s ability but I am questioning most of his opponents. Not his fault but don’t shoot me if I’m not overwhelmed .

Spence should focus on one fight at a time because if he's not careful, Mikey Garcia runs the risk of exposing him; Given his boxing fundamentals, ring experience and skill level.

Let's face the facts and the truth. Erroll is still pretty much green at this stage of his career while Mikey is a seasoned and surgical fighter at this stage of his career.

Mikey is well aware of this that's why he is challenging the naturally larger and stronger Spence rather Lomachenko because he perceives Erroll as the easiest challenge.

That is correct. Spence has fought nobody near the caliber of competition Loma and Garcia fought, therefore he indeed is willing to take the fight with Spence who is a natural middleweight fighting at 147

I will agree with Spence. Spence beats Crawford without too much difficulty. Crawford is great. Spence is better than great.

[NachoMan]

I will agree with Spence. Spence beats Crawford without too much difficulty. Crawford is great. Spence is better than great.

Based on what standard precisely?

[Zen_Fighter]

The standard of my clueless, never been in a boxing ring, boxing fanatic, watcher of fights for 37 years. So really, I got nothing.

[H.B.Viper]

Help me

only a fool would not be aware of Crawford's accomplishments @140, unifying the whole division was surely a feat but Spence's just downplaying it like it was nothing lol

he's basically comparing the level of competition to which they have fought at. if we're talking about the 147 division, I've got to go with Spence resume, having with the likes of Brook, Peterson etc.. it's like he's saying that Bud should not be his rival @ welterweight because he fought nobody with Jeff Horny.

At 140, did Bud fight the following during his short stay:
Omar Figeroua
Regis Prograis
Maurice Herrara
Adrian Granados/Broner
Imir Imam.
No, he went for paper champs, that TR paid to give him those belts .
Stop the madness.
