    I hope you are not serious. Tito is the harder puncher

    I really like Crawford. He was very impressive Saturday night against Spence. But, Tito was SAVAGE at that weight. Busy, skilled, aggressive, and a murderous puncher. Don't forget that Crawford started several weight classes below Tito (who was a really big Welterweight.) Tito would wreck Spence and Crawford.

    Bud comes out fast, floors tito in the 2nd and pounds him for the first few rounds. Round 4 or 5 Tito slams him in the nuts with a huge left hook. Bud goes down in agony, gets up and tries to continue but all the fight is drained out of him by the nut shot and Tito then beats him up and stops him late

    Fair enough, but keep in mind that Oscar started off at 130 (Bud at 135) and pretty much gave Tito a boxing lesson.

    On paper, you are certainly not wrong. But, Oscar was never a true 130 pounder. All kinds of shenanigans were pulled for him to make that weight. He always had a welterweight (or bigger) frame. Oscar also had an excellent chin. I have seen Crawford rocked by some pretty inocuous punches. (Spence, although capable, never landed any heavy punches of note in their fight last Saturday) And, although, I agree that Oscar outboxed Tito in spurts, the decision for Tito was no robbery.

    Yeah I don't see crawford using his legs to get out of trouble. I see him standing, using upper body movement and trying to counter, which I'm not sure would go well for him.

    I always wondered had Spence not had a crash first , how different could or would the Crawford fight turn out but also i think Crawford is just of a superior quality. I think kin this fight either Tito gets lucky or Crawford outboxes him.

    Tito was a lot chinnier than Bud.

    So true, But whenever Tito got decked it seemed to wake him up, he then proceeded to either severely punish his opponent or kayo him.
