Don't think someone could think I'm being ridiculous after watching Spence/Brook.

You are talking about a smaller man in Crawford.
And if Spence isn't equal or better than Crawford, they're definitely close enough that Spence will land often and win rounds.
I think in the course of those punches landing, Spence will take Crawford out.

What's so crazy about that?

You are claiming that Crawford is chinny because he caught a big punch as a 135 pounder years ago and was hardly phased by the punch. Canelo was almost knocked out by Jose Miguel Cotto and was lucky to make it out of round 1 so shouldn't we have assumed that GGG would knock him out cold because of it?

Crawford has not only proved that he's got a world class chin but he's been the most dominant fighter in the last few years as proven by the fact that he's rarely lost a minute of a round much less a round. No, don't say Lomachenko has been better because he actually lost. Lomachenko fans need to start remembering that fight because it did actually happen.

Spence may have what it takes to beat Crawford but no one on this planet could outclass him or "walk him down" so you're opinion is rather ignorant and doesn't give Crawford the respect he earned in there.

Crawford's level of competition outside of Postol is a joke.
I am not giving A+ credit for only fighting solid/bum fighters.

Also, Canelo would have gotten KO'ed, but GGG was in the lights for the 1st 3 rounds and didn't throw a body punch.
By the time he started, Canelo was running.

Also, poor comparison because I think Spence is more skilled than GGG, by a good margin.
His walking down of Crawford wouldn't include the same telegraphed right hand repeatedly.

You are obviously in the minority because most intelligent boxing fans realize how special Crawford is. That's why he's now in the top 5 of most credible P4P lists.

You talk about Crawford's level of competition...it's a lot better than Spence's. LOL. You serious. Spence was losing the fight with Brook until Brook's eye socket went and that's the only fight Spence has won worth a damn. Terrance Crawford doesn't lose rounds. If Spence and Crawford fight at 147, I bet Crawford will be a heavy favorite for good reason.

You say Brooks eye socket went, as though Spence didn't punch it in

Spence was behind on points until he punched a guys eye socket in. Which meant he wasn't losing any more.

Obviously, Brook has a real issue with those two eye sockets. I don't know if he's got soft bones in his face or what but busting both eye sockets in consecutive fights is more about his bone structure than what the other guy did to it IMO. My point is that if his socket didn't break than Brook would have won that fight against Spence.

would have? as a fact? as an incontrovertible EO-style fully backed up with lawyer's affidavits fact? lol. BS, man.

Brook was wilting. he didn't like the pace and he didn't like the bodyshots. Spence was on his way to winning that fight, eye or no eye, IMO

The fight was in Brook's backyard and the judges had been very kind to him in the earlier rounds that were evenly contested. IMO Brook would have won. How's that? .

better than your 'brittle bones' BS to downplay Spence's accurate thudding power, anyway

Coming from someone that things Terrance Crawford sucks...yeah, I want to get into a battery of boxing intelligence with you. LOL. What an idiot.

BAD INTENTIONS wrote:Crawford gets walked down and KO'ed.

You don't get buzzed by Gamboa at 135,
then fight Spence at 147 and win.

Those two things don't go together.

But Crawford is not with Haymon, so he's allowed to fight B competition, but still get praised.

you won't find me saying Terrance Crawford sucks, anywhere, cos i don't think that. not that you'll be bothered but if you go back far enough you'll see my ecstatic reaction to his WC debut vs Burns

so you'll have to find another label than 'hater', not that you've got the basic gumption to do anything than label in that lazy-ass way, 'uh he's defending Spence a lil' bit, uh, hater' lol you're a fool, an enjoyable one though, I like you that way. i just have to put you right when you veer off into your fool-space.
