    I'd say Crawford is both the better boxer and is going to pick Spence off at a distance.
    Spence, has a huge reach for 147, but Crawford's is next level and he knows how to use it.
    I expect a clear UD victory for him.

    I'm as serious as a heart attack.

    I think Spence beats the dog **** out of Pacquiao including the 2009 version. He's far better than almost every man who defeated Pacquiao. Hits harder than them, is bigger, stronger, and just as skilled if not more skilled. Do the math. Pac was a manufactured fighter who was brought along against just the right kind of guys. The only guy who beat Pac who has anything over Spence is Mayweather and that's a hell of a bar to set.

    Margarito was a punching bag and Cotto was drained. Spence is way better than both of them, especially the damaged goods versions Pac beat.

    I'm saying size+skill not just size, nice straw man.

    Buds resume is stellar otherwise he wouldn't be on the p4p list. His skill speaks for itself.

    It does give us an idea when Floyd goes from calling someone a ***** to all of a sudden singing praise and predicting they'd be a champion and then they actually go and become a champion. Floyd doesn't give compliments easily.

    What big strong durable fighter did Leonard stop before the halfway mark?

    He fought Barkley at 147? I didn't know that.

    Spence walks around at like ****ing 180.

    Oscar was vulnerable to body shots and that was Spence's specialty. Power is very debatable. Spence had a wider variety of punches and was a better inside fighter.

    I like Errol but I feel like this is a enormous call...taking into account he's not even proven best at welter yet....when I'm on my dinner I'll try and do a list off top of my head of fighters I've seen at welter who I think would beat him

    i think if you want to know who would probably be closest to reality about who spence beats today, as well as fighters of the past, just look at how accurately theyve gauged him up to now. who here has picked all of spences fights correctly? step up so we can take your analysis with the seriousness youve earned. i got my notepad out to learn some things.

    Ok...top of my head

    Ray Leonard
    Tommy hearns
    Roberto Duran
    Felix Trinidad
    Oscar de la Hoya
    Shane Mosley
    Floyd Mayweather
    Manny Pacquiao
    Pernell Whittaker
    Julio Cesar Chavez

    These are ten I've seen in my lifetime that I'd pick to beat Errol at there peaks....this isn't a dig at Spence...he's good but I'd fancy all of these to win.

    Tried to leave off some of the top welters of all time because...I haven't seen them .

    Robinson,Ross,gavilan,napoles etc

    Nah, Duran has all kinds of problems with the telephone pole jab and relentless pressure.

    Spence vs Leonard might be a 50/50 fight if he beats Crawford not sure on that one
    I would favor Hearns to win
    Spence stops Duran late
    Decisions Trinidad
    Stops Oscar in body shots
    Decisions Mosley
    Loses to Mayweather
    KOs Pacquiao within 7
    Not sure about Whitaker
    Stops Chavez late.

    Yeah, he'll pressure him with the most powerful jab at 147 since Hearns, vicious body shots, uppercuts that Duran would be wide open for with his infighting, and power that can shatter eye sockets. Duran would be in for a rough night to say the very least.

    ...reading over threads like this will be comedy gold when Crawford ends this man inside the distance.

    Spence is one of the best technical boxers today. Hes an all-rounded fighter that does every good, that nothing particularly special stands out about him (other than his body attack). He's a danger to Crawford (who I think still wins, but has his work cut out for him) & any other relevant WW. He's also a a problem at 154 whenever he decides to move up...

    Yes, will he continue to beat up Spence in orthodox, or will he switch to southpaw for a spell just to mess with him?
