Comments Thread For: Crawford vs. Spence - CompuBox Head To Head Analysis

[aboutfkntime]

The only reason I disagree with your comparison is we already saw Golovkin fight tentative against Jacobs and Lemieux to a lesser extent. We also saw him hesitate against C-level fighters whenever he got hit flush. Ironically, Crawford tend to fight hesistant against bigger fighters like he did against Postol and Benavidez on Saturday. Indongo was just too damn slow to give him any problems. We've seen Spence walk through hard hitters like Brook and Peterson. Lets not forget Peterson walked Garcia down several times in their fight. Spence was unfazed by Peterson and he landed some nice body shots himself. Don't get me wrong Crawford would probably have the most success but if he gets behind I don't know if he could pull out a stoppage against Spence like he did against Benavidez.

he has more than enough power to land a fight changing punch

Spence will be defensively responsible, no question

the sharpness of Crawford will keep him honest

not saying Spence will shell up, just that his output will drop

seen it a million times when a fighter faces an elite boxer

I would bet anything you like that Spence's numbers will be lower than his average in these stats

but yea, good post !

Why is it that they did an 11 bout average for Crawford and a 5 bout average for Spence? A little subjective don't you think?

Both are still unproven. i wish they fight one of the top 5 welterweights to determine if they are truely the top dogs of the division.

Highly irritated with this article I did some research of my own and if you average Crawford's last 5 bouts the way you did Spence, a different narrative is created. I have no clue why you averaged 11 bouts for Crawford vs 5 for Spence. Bad article.
