Comments Thread For: Spence: I'm Way Better Fighter Than Crawford; Who Has He Fought?

[Douglas Cohen]

Benavidez is probably the best guy Arum has to feed to Crawford, unless Pac resigns with Top Rank. Al Haymon probably isn't ready to do business with Arum just yet, but if Arum is smart he will to do business with Hearn and lure Amir Khan into a big money fight. Khan is terrified of losing to Brook, and if he doesn't get Pac, it's possible he would take the Crawford fight. Eddie doesn't have any welterweight belts in his stable, so if he can't land Pac and he can't match Khan and Brook, he may be forced to do business with other promoters and networks outside of DAZN.

Spence vs Spence would be a good fight though. If they do fight each other I’m going for Spence to beat Spence by majority decision

I'll put some $$$$ down on Spence to win that fight also.

crawford is ducking spence.

spence has voice out about crawford more than once already where as for crawford the only thing he's said about fighting spence is "we'll fight later down on the road".

spence on the other hand has started to criticized crawford just like what he's doing now in this article.

Crawford is a three weight champion, has been undisputed, and beaten several world champions.

Spence has only won one belt in one division.

Crawford is 30, Spence is 28.

Spence hasn't done jack **** compared to Crawford. He can talk all that mess he wants, but he's the bigger guy against Crawford and he hasn't done much at all.

But Spence is right in one thing: Crawford is on the wrong side of the street. He can`t make a big 147 career at Top rank. This is not 2008, when Top rank had Cotto, Margarito, Pacquiao and Clottey. If pacquiao doesn`t fight him, Crawford`s career is dead.

I like Crawford but his resume is shyt. He unified 140 when the top fighters were postel & indongo LMFAO. That's not impressive at all. Now if he'd beating Taylor, prograis, relikh, hooker, ramirez & Baranchyk that would have been impressive. Overall Crawford is skilled & has beaten more world champs, I give him that but most of his wins aren't of quality. So no he would not be the the A side. He never pulls in large numbers when he fights, Spence does! If Spence can negate Crawford's technical gifts I'd favor him in that fight aswell. Crawford would not leave the ring unscathed like how he does against those bums arum feeds to him.

They're both at WW, Crawford has Horn on his resume for ONE WW Victory, Spence clearly has a better WW resume. So its Spence for me. Weve seen TR, we know he will not face any tough competition, but TR shills will say they are HOF level opponents. WE KNOW HOW BOB OPERATES and Terrence will fight a line-up of TR/WBO Bums. Because if he fights against one of the PBC champions and lose, Al will own all TOP WW belts, and this makes TR b-side with ANY WW championship fight. SO YOU WILL NOT SEE SPENCE VS CRAWFORD anytime soon. It makes sense/cents for Bob to keep him facing "no-hopers"

Gamboa was winning the fight early against an inexperienced Crawford and was landing a lot of power shots cleanly (some of which hurt Crawford). Crawford grew in that fight and ended up crushing Gamboa. So yes I would say his heart was called into question early on in that fight and he passed with flying colours.

When was Spence in a dog fight? sure he was losing to Brook early in the fight but Brook had already been crushed by GGG and was struggling badly to make the weight, notice that Brook faded badly and that wasnt all due to Spence.

Ultimately I see Crawford calling out Spence to fight and Spence simply saying that Crawford is undeserving.

Got to call you out here. You're making excuses for Crawford vs Gamboa, calling him "inexperienced" in his 24th fight 6 years into his career. Guess how many fights Spence has had now, and how many years he's been active? Yep, 24 and 6. Why aren't you giving Spence the same benefit of the doubt?

Also, lol @ the struggling to make weight excuse.

Its ok for Crawford to sign whatever contract he sees is better for him, but he cant open his mouth to say he the best and this and that. Errol been fighting tougher fights then Crawford and he just came up to 147. Beating Horn is not a big win at Welter. Manny beat him, I dont care what the judges say and errol wouldve steamrolled that fool in less then 6. Spence beats Crawford 7 days a week and twice on sunday.

Anyone that says Spence is ducking a guy that just became a welterweight and fought at the lower weights most of his career, is sadly mistaken. Clearly there are obstacles in making this fight with the networks but it can get done if the money is right for all parties concerned.

I think Spence just wants to fight Thurman because a lot of people still consider him the best welterweight, not Crawford, via his wins against Porter, Garcia, and Guerrero who he beat before Garcia did. I think Spence wants to beat Porter, Thurman, and Crawford in that order. And then Garcia if he can string a couple of wins together and get back in contention. He wants to make it clear he beat ALL the top welterweights. And if he beats Porter and then Thurman and Crawford strings together some good wins; that’s huge mega fight; the likes of Leonard-Duran or Hearns-Leonard. Just my opinion.
