    Great film study on who might win this clash, I feel Bud is the better fighter but what percentage of folks on here pick Spence and why?

    I haven't given the matchup much thought, and I'd like to see what the Texan performs like post-accident before I do, but I'd be happy to see Crawford hand Spence an L.

    I appreciated Errol on his way up, he was a breath of fresh air in the fart-filled elevator of PBC hot property for a while, but he's reverted to type in the 3 years since Brook and has seemed more concerned with embracing the wrong lifestyle. I don't see why a man with kids at home need be up in nightclubs if he isn't there for business purposes.

    Simple case of rooting for the guy I like more.

    I have Crawford edging it out, but it won’t be easy. Both guys are there to be hit, but I think Crawford is a bit more fluid than Spence in terms of boxing on the outside and counter-punching.

    Crawford is hiding under Bob Arum's desk as we speak in Chris Algieri's cage.

    This will be the great fight that never happened, another Pac Mayweather

    Crawford is getting old and Spence is getting fat (147 is hard to make)

    Crawford holds a slight skill advantage. Spence holds a physical advantage.

    Both of these guys are letting the era go by where they could have had a great fights. Crawford is 32 now, and he has not really had a superfight yet. Take this into consideration, he is the age Duran was when Duran fought Hearns and he is now talking about fighting Spence, his biggest fight. When Hearns was 32 he was near the time he fought Virgil Hill. It is not that old, but it is beyond what you want a guy to fight in his prime with.

    Enjoyed the video but analysis is wrong. Styles make fights. Key things Amir Khan is not Erroll Spence nor is Crawford Porter either. Spence is the truth and Bud is for real. Spence’s fundamental skill set, mindset mentality and physicality are problems for Bud who is yet to get in with an elite Welterweight.

    I think the opposite — I think Crawford will slice him up and stop him.

    Chances are neither of these two will. For starters, that requires fighting top contenders more than once a couple years, and one another, which both seem fine w/o doing for as long as they can get away. Both guys think they deserve high-end PPV money. Neither guy is worth more than a few mill IMO, though Spence Jr brings in just a tad more numbers (not enough to make a big a side/B Side difference).

    By the time these two meet, they will be older, heavier, and a lot of the lustre will be lost
