    I like having fun on here

    I hate very few fighters, Crawford isn't one of them

    That being said, I really wanted to see him vs Taylor and I'm disappointed we might not now

    :lol: :thumbsup:

    Spence has fought two world class fighters his own size and he struggled badly against both even though one was damaged goods. Everyone else he's fought is a natural 140 or 135 and he's barely fought any punchers, check out his opponent's KO% lol. Taylor has really filled out at 140 of late and will be very strong at 147 and he can crack. Spence looks the part against leprechauns and featherfists, against opponents his own size he goes life and death

    And you pick Spence to beat 168-175 pounder Clenelo who would send him to the shadow realm. How's about Spence vs Makabu? :lol:

    I rate JT highly but please keep him away from Bud and Spence as we want to enjoy him more instead of ruining his career. Not only are EJ and Bud fantastic Weltwerweights they have fantastic. Trainers. Who gas JT got again?

    I hope for JT’s sake he is spared this shellacking.

    I agree TOTALLY.......
    My point to Joker in my earlier Posts was just that Arum is the kind of promoter SOME fighters OUTGROW.
    It just took Crawford longer to get there than Oscar Delahoya, Floyd Mayweather, Miguel Cotto, and Manny Pacquaio, who ALL eventually outgrew Mr. Arum.

    Why will Spence fight Makubu essentially a small heavyweight.. When we have deslt with Ugas and Bud then we will move up and deal with Canelo.

    :facepalm: Spence went life and death against a damaged goods Brook and the fight only turned in his favour after the vicious headclash in round 8 which shattered Brook's other orbital socket

    Clen has proved his worth at 154, 160, 168 and even to a certain degree at 175. He would spark Spence out cold who hasn't even beaten anyone world class at 154 yet or fought any legit bangers

    Some fighters just aren’t as appealing as others in their characteristics. Same as ordinary people really. Maybe Crawford lets his hands do the talking. I remember a certain Joe Calzaghe was the same. Frank Warren wanted Joe to do more for his ‘public appeal’ but couldn’t get him out of Wales. Or it was something similar that I read or heard. Fantastic fighter but preferred to fly under the radar. Everyone’s different I suppose.

    Exactly Ben Davidson who as Freddie Roach confirmed was crying in the corner of Wilder vs Fury 1. You want to put him up against Derek James and Bo Mack. Legendary old school type trainers.

    I don’t know what oompa loompa is? What language is that but I know Tank is special. Yes he destroyed and took out Pedraza which Loma could not do. Calling LSC, Gamboa, Barrios et al trash. Such disrespect to world champion fighters apparently though you think Spence has fought trash also. I wish we can put you in a room with these distinguished warriors so you can tell them to their face that they are trash.

    Spence has not moved up yet but he will once he finishes cleaning out 147 pounds. To be fair to JT who I like, he has not been calling out Spence but you are too brave on his behalf.

    The same Ben Davison your boy Haney sought out the services of

    This content is protected


    ''Trash'' in boxing parlance :facepalm:

    All smoke and mirrors that only fools the casuals

    His resume is poor to say the least and he's a three weight paper champion and has shamelessly been ducking Loma for over five years and the top boys for almost as long

    You want me to go through the Twink stopped Pedraza, but Loma couldn't BS again when I've already schooled you on it numerous times? :lol:

    I asked you a question


    Brook KO 65% = damaged goods
    Garcia KO 75% blown up 135 pounder whose KO% above 135 = zero
    Peterson KO 41% career 140 pounder
    Algieri KO 33% - career 140 pounder
    Bundu KO 32%
    Van Heerden KO 40%
    Ocampo KO 56% even Spence admitted Ocampo had no power
    Lo Greco KO 47%
    Porter KO 50%

    But he beats Clenelo though :facepalm:
