Comments Thread For: Crawford: Facing Spence In His First Fight Back Lose-Lose Situation For Me

[MulaKO]

This is my thoughts exactly. Even if he fights Spence in 2 years and wins the wreck is a built in excuse

Yup
He won’t get any respect no matter what
You got idiots like Revelated , who are butthurt cause Bud put a beating on his boyfriend Horn , that will never give Bud respect
So you know what , go ahead smash Spence
At the same time would shut haters , like Revelated , for the time being
I guarantee he’d be the first to yell about the wreck excuse

I think this excuse is here to stay regardless. There is going to be a -before and after accident- spence version from now on. Anyone who beats him now will have to deal with that, since the before spence was never beaten. Its a nonsense argument to play, from now on.

Whether you do it sooner or later, people will still talk noise about it. As long as you beat him up, that's what counts. Because if it's a close fight, ppl will say that the Errol b4 his accident would have destroyed you. You have to beat this man so good, it gives ppl goose bumps to watch. Like when Ali beat Cleveland Williams- who by the way, was fighting Ali after being shot by a cop

This guy Crawford is burying his career more and more in the dirt. Aside from Canelo he’s probably one of the pickiest fighters I’ve seen and the difference between him and Canelo is that Canelo’s resume is not thin like Crawford’s.

Crawford making all these demands and excuses and hasn’t done anything at all. Best wins are Horn,Postol and Khan

Spence and Danny Garcia should get it on. Easy fight to make and great money for both. I rate Danny as about the 5th/6th best WW so if Spence beats him convincingly we can say he's back to his best. If he loses then Garcia Crawford. If Spence wins unconvincingly we can still see him with Crawford but recalibrate expectations.

That accident was a blessing in disguise for Spence in more ways than 1.

For the rest of his career he and anyone who's behind him can always fall back on that.

"He's not the same" "he's still feeling the after effects of the accident" "nobody could beat him before the accident" all assertions that may or may not be true but can really be denied because of how severe it was.

No matter when Bud fights him, if he beats Spence ( I believe he would have before the crash ) he'll never get full credit now. That crash put a big dent in people's perceptions of they ever go forward & if Bud were to win

Gotta agree with this
Quite unfortunate this fight hasn’t happened yet
I to always believed Bud would or can beat Spence

[sbbigmike]

Yeah there are now rumors of Spence fighting this D rate fighter nobody has heard of from mayweather promotions as a "tune up" even though its been 6 months now from the crash and we were told he had minimal injuries.

My take is if he wants to face a non title fight worthy opponent he can but he should vacate the belt instead of special treatmenvt being made for him.

Biggest mistake Crawford made was not face Porter if Spence isn't fit like we all know the titles go back to Porter if Spence drops or get stripped....

[hitmanjosh]

Crawford is as good as expected

But, he has been hurt can be hurt and will eventually get hurt due to the punches he takes or it could be due to him not feeling threatened by the opponent. TC is one of the best when it comes to dissecting people over a period of rounds. I like Crawford against just about anyone though but he better watch out for Ortiz the other Texan because in a year or so that boy is going to be hell for anyone. I agree with not fighting Spence now but after two fights back, we need to see that happen!

[NachoMan]

I can't tell if Bud doesn't actually want that fight after all or if he just constantly overthinks things. I feel that he's going to make every negotiation complicated and end up having a truly mediocre career compared to what could have been for him.
