Comments Thread For: Spence: I'm Not Worried About Crawford Right Now

[JakeTheBoxer]

He boxes better, assuming a good level of boxing knowledge you can see it. Porter and Brook have both given Spence a hard nights work, I don’t think that would be the case for Crawford, he is just soo darn slick and calculated.

But still, I have to see Crawford in top welterweight fight first.

Spence/Thurman/Porter/Danny/Pacquiao or even Ugas

2021 if they both stay undefeated.

Spence: "I'm Not Worried About Crawford Right Now"

While I fully understand the 'marinate' philosophy... Spence will GLADLY avoid Bud as long as possible. He knows his 0 will be erased in that fight. Bud is a whole different animal altogether.

When it's time and you know i'm coming for you, you better not duck me son. You better not duck me.

"The Hype" Spence don't want any of T Crawford or wants to be great...keep the PBC WW corrupted & protected WW stable in tack...T Crawford ruins "The Hype" !

Go back and do your homework. TopRank uncle Bob blue print when he had Paquioa/ Bradley and the rest of the WW. The only thing Crawford ruins is his own carrier by resining w/ TopRank. Why dnt you cry to uncle bob for matching him w/ bumbs , the likes of Khan and small as Gamboa.

These guys are doing just the same as Mayweather and Pacquiao had been doing until they finally fought. beating all other guys.

Just with less hype. Crawford already beat Horn ( who beat Pacquiao) and Khan. In his next fights he will probably beat Kavaliauskas, maybe Brook, maybe even Collazo - Uzbek winner.

Spence will beat Danny Garcia, probably Thurman..He already beat top 5 guy Porter.

They will fight each other when there will be nobody else to get beaten. Pacquiao will retire and won`t fight them.

[umop-ap!sdn]

Everyone please relax and stop complaining. Neither of these guys are ducking the other. Although I do get the feeling Crawford wants the fight more than Spence, who is also willing just doesn't seem as hungry for it.

But we know Haymon and PBC are not looking to do any biz wit Bob. They recently went as far as to request to have the WBO belt (under Atlrums crooked control) made unrecognizable to the PBC. Crawford's contract is up by August 2020 I believe and there is no way he signs back with Arum. We will hopefully get this fight by late 2020 or early 2021.

Spence beats Danny and Bud beats anyone Arum can feed him from Top Rank stable. We should be fine for an epic undefeated vs undefeated unification bout while they are both still in their peak primes.

I don’t disagree, we definitely want to see him prove himself, but for me if he shows up with his trademark cool head and preparedness none of the above would win. Spence would probably be the best quality, but Crawford’s counter style would cause him massive problems, particularly with those freakishly long arms. Porter would get beat up on the way in, Thurman would
be boring to watch as they both stand off and eventually Bud just gets bored too and KO’s him. PAC would get absolutely torn up and Danny would suffer the same as Porter.

Nah you are approaching this wrong...look at how Crawford boxes...he is ultra aware and his countering is just ridiculous and he’s pretty much never going to give away any reach. Spence proved he can be caught against Porter (who btw didn’t suddenly get better than his 3 losses, he was just better matched). If he gets caught like that against Bud he will ship a combination and will get ugly real quick.

I want to see Crawford tested, but let’s be honest, nobody wants him. But once he gets his shot I have no doubt he’ll clean up the division, none whatsoever, he’s another level.
