Comments Thread For: Porter: Crawford A More Intelligent Fighter Than Spence; More Dimensions To His Game

[ShoulderRoll]

Let's see if Crawford nuts up and fights Porter while waiting for the Spence fight.

I seriously doubt it, though.

[Larry the boss]

Crawford is more agile and fluid, and does seem to have a bigger tool bag.

I don't care what anyone says about Shawn, his honesty is refreshing in a world of BS trash talk. Most fighters, after fighting someone like Spence and losing a close decision would say Spence is much better than Bud and would damage him seriously, etc. etc. but not Porter, he tells it like it is. Bud IS more versatile and DOES have more tools than Spence. Good on you Shawn. Can't wait to see him in the ring again, a true throw back fighter who ducks no one.
Anyone who says Porter is not elite because he has losses is a phony new school fan who started watching boxing in the Money May era and thinks all that matters is having 0 Ls on your record.

One could equally make a compelling argument for the exact opposite. I could say that Porter is full of BS.

Porter is best friends with Crawford, obviously that alone means we have to take what he says with a large grain of salt.

Porter also lost a heated battle with Spence and it was clear as daylight at the post fight conference that there is some serious bad blood between the two of them. Another reason to take what Porter says with a grain of salt. He has in fact tried to discredit Spence at every turn since their fight. Saying that he actually won the fight when he clearly lost, saying that it should have been at least a draw when a draw is scientifically and mathematically impossible with the single knockdown, and undernining Spence at every turn since their fight.

You're just riding with whatever Porter says because you're either a Spence hater of a Crawford fan, or both.

Nevertheless, we'll see what happens when they eventually fight.

Keep putting words in my mouth bro, you are making accusations that hold absolutely no ground. Why am I a Spence hater? Because I like Porter? You do realize you can like multiple fighters in the same weight division. I never said Porter beat Spence, I said he lost a close decision. How is this not true?

So what you're saying is, I'm agreeing with Porter because I'm a Crawford fan and/or Spence hater? What kind of BS is that? Unlike most of the clowns on BS, I don't just run with everything a single fighter says just because of who they are. I judge every comment and action individually, regardless of who said it. You should be careful making assumptions when you don't know what you're talking about. I like Spence, Crawford and Porter.
Here's something for you to think about, if you think Spence has more tools or is a more versatile boxer than Crawford, you must be a Crawford hater or a bias, Spence worshipper because that's just simply not true. There's a reason the majority of boxing PROFESSIONALS or people actually directly involved in the sport see Crawford as the most talented boxer at 147. It's not their hatred for Spence, it's their understanding of the sport in which they are referring to.
That's my assessment based on your ludicrous comments.

Hate Crawford all you want, but you can not deny the talent. However, if you stick to saying he's nothing special. Obvious you have a kind of ****** bias, or just don't know boxing.

You're right and the simple fact is most people on here have no idea what they're watching when they see a fight. They choose the fighter whose personality matches theirs the closest or the fighter with ring entrance music they like. The average boxing fan was much more educated about the sport back in the day. Most of the posters on here are just internet troll/keyboard warriors who would rather push their personal agendas and individual biases more than attempt to understand or acknowledge reality.

[theface07]

Spence will put that pressure on Budweiser Crawford...catch his ass and put a stop to this fruad boxer...Spence can take punch..I don't see Crawford winning this

You're seriously calling Crawford a fraud? Yeah ok, whatever you say "Jaydizzle".

Hey Bud, some ignorant clown on an internet site with the name Jaydizzle is calling you a fraud. Better start proving yourself or Jaydizzle will say bad things about you.

Now also it's the promoter they fight for. I'm a fan of boxing, and could care less who the guy fights for. Never understand why people get so caught up and become fans of just one promoter.

Follow your own advice then and don't put words in MY mouth, as I never said that you said Porter beat Spence, I said Porter said that he beat Spence.

Also, my point was mainly about you saying Porter isn't full of BS, I PROVED that by stating that Porter said he won the fight against Spence (BS) and that at least it should have been a draw (even more BS than the former statement because a draw is mathematically impossible for their fight).

I proved that Porter is full of BS on two counts when it comes to Spence, and on many others I don't care to name right now. In one interview Porter even said that he wasn't hurt when he went down and that it was a flash knockdown (more bs, everyone saw his knees buckle).

I also stated his being best friend with Crawford is more BS. His assessment of Crawford vs Spence is also directly based by him on the grounds that he already fought Spence and therefore should know, but he hasn't fought Crawford so how does he know? We all saw Crawford get beat up and knocked down by Mean Machine, do you honestly think that would happen to Spence?

Be honest with yourself, do you think Spence would get outboxed by mean machine for four rounds and get knocked down?

Do you think Spence would take 11 rounds to dispatch a one legged, average fighter?

Porter (and his fans to a large extent) are full of BS.

And this notion that being a switch hitter somehow makes Crawford better than everyone else is also BS.

Danny Jacobs is also a switch hitter, did that make him better than GGg and Canelo? What about Pavlik?

Fact is Crawford has been hurt and struggled with mediocre guys, not as a prospect, but as an established fighter.

Don't get me wrong the guy is good, but this notion that he is so much better than Spence is quite frankly ridiculous and baseless. Spence has beaten better guys that Spence and looked better too, he didn't smacked around, hurt, and knocked down at any point of those fights.
