Comments Thread For: Spence: I'll Definitely Stop Crawford; Kavaliauskas Dropped Him, Gamboa Hurt Him

[ptek]

His last 4 opponents have been much more irrelevant than both Mikey and DSG! Mikey's only loss is to Spence! Khan was DSG's leftovers. In fact, DSGs run @ 140 was better than Bud's, and his opponents @ 147 are better than Bud's! In fact, Garcia vs. Garcia would be a better fight than Crawford vs. Brook @ 147!

No way duddy Brook Vs Crawford is a way better fight then Garcia Vs Garcia. IMO

Brook will lose the fight before the opening bell. Everyone knows Brook will struggle to make 147! He hasn't fought at 147 since 2017!

Actually I feel Porter would be harder for Crawford. because of his style. Spence looks easier.

SPENCE WON'T DROP CRAWFORD CUZ SPENCE REFUSES TO EVEN FIGHT CRAWFORD.

These PBC fighters really do love smack talking and saying they will beat fighters they they have no intention of actually fighting.

Brook will make the weight. If he made it like he did coming from 160 within the time limit he did. It’s no problem for a guy that works out as hard as him and likely takes some stuff. Very unlikely he’s drained, even if it is difficult for him to make.

I'm sure he'll make the weight, just like Oscar De la Hoya made 147 for Pacquiao! I'm also sure the results will be very similar too!

He was 150 against Zerafa. He’s been saying he can make the weight and you don’t come in at 150lbs for a 154 lb fight because you can’t make 147.

Brook is only at 154 to be comfortable and not have to worry about weight. The drop from 160 scared him and his team, but just because it was tough going from 160 to 147, doesn’t mean it’ll be as tough as 154 to 147. Actually, it should be much easier.

Its hard for me to make a pick without seeing Crawford in the ring with the caliber fighters Errol been in with.

Why i wished he would have fought Porter instead of making excuses.

Perfect fight to gauge Crawford while we wait on the big fight

Spence is such a massive step up in competition from what Bud has faced so far...

Even Roy Jones could see Spence hadn’t fought anyone to accurately gauge in comparison to Crawford. You two see it the other way around? You guys realize the killer Porter actually lost to Julio Diaz right?

You can pretty clearly tell what Crawford has, because he’s fought highly skilled guys, speedsters, bulldozing guys, long rangy guys, guys with power and plenty of guys with a lot of heart. Reason Spence’s skills were somewhat difficult to ascertain was because he fought a lot of guys coming in to lay down and has yet to fight a puncher (who’s not fat and rendered useless).

You got plenty of footage to work with right now to see what each guy brings.

Spence averaged 90 punches a round against Garcia. What type of output are you looking for exactly? You aren't against elite skilled fighters going to just throw like they are some bums. And against Porter he threw 745 punches, which is a solid number. If he stops Crawford, it is likely he catches Crawford on a counter that he doesn't see and then goes after him when he is buzzed. He's not going to just have his way with Crawford and walk him down all fight and vice versa.

Fair enough. I guess just perception made it look like he wasn't super active against them.

Either way, he's going to have to do something different to get Crawford out of there. He's better than Garcia, hands down. He'd stop Garcia probably in the mid rounds. As for Porter, he'd get in a dog fight but I think Crawford could manage that too.

So it's not a good bar to use. Spence, and I am a fan, look at my signature, it's been there since he was in the Olympics... Spence will have to fight Crawford different than his past 3 or so fights. Plain and simple.

This is falsely represented. Crawford has less proof of his ability than Spence.

He has won going up and impressively so but he's not fought men on even Porter's level. Mikey would be undefeated in Crawford's resume as well. So it's not how you make it seem.

He fought a "speedster". You mean Khan... he's a gate keeper with no durability.

He fought "tons of heart". You mean Jeff Horn... he was the weakest belt holder regardless of beating Pacquiao.

He fought "long range guys". You mean Indongo... who was paper champ and a clear B level fighter with a bunch of african farmers padding his resume.

Even if you say I am wrong about those guys, Crawford's resume is weak outside of Postol who legit stopped Matthyse.
