    Besides having superior ring IQ, Crawford also knows better than most what to do in clinches. If Spence going to try and make it an inside fight, which I think he will have to, Crawford can smother him and go back to fighting on outside and counter.

    Check out this display of strength, I had no idea Crawford can actually wrestle. This just adds more tools to his arsenal.

    I don't know who this Kazakh guy is, but they all wrestle. Even more impressive is Crawford did this while wearing flip flops

    Terry comes from a wrestling background and was known for being a very good wrestler in high school

    ''Crawford, who has three sons and two daughters, wants them to wrestle instead because he believes it will build them a better foundation.
    Crawford was a wrestler himself, just like his father, grandfather and uncles, before he broke out as a modern-day, pound-for-pound elite boxer.

    Rougarou said he was very physically strong just from them playfully grabbing each other. Andre Ward said the same too

    And what exactly is that reason?

    Where ever you place Spence on that list, Crawford belongs one spot behind.

    lol no. Just watch the Porter fight, shows how Crawford really is in clinches. Just shells up waiting for the onslaught to end or gets clipped when trying to fight on the inside. If Spence does get in the clinch and inside its a wrap

    Errol's shoddy head movement,flat footedness & small tendencies (like how he turns his head to avoid punches which leaves him open for shots he can't even see) make me lean Crawford.
