After watching all of Crawford's and Spence's fights, this is my conclusion.

with all due respect hearns downfall was that he didnt fight smart. He was in love with his power. Never seen crawford fight a stupid fight..

 

Good analysis, but Golovkin was never #1 P4P. You can´t get to # 1 P4P without beating anybody who´s at least P4P top 20, GGG probably didn´t have any P4P top 50 wins at that point.

 

I really like both fighters and I hope both show well. Would love a scenario that warrants a rematch (for the right reasons).

I would say if I had to pick a fighter I WANT to win, I would lean towards Crawford as I can relate a bit more to how he grew up. But I dig both guys.

This fight is one where I think I have done the most amount of "study" leading up to a fight and even though I agree it is a 50/50 fight, I have only ever seen 1 winner: Spence. Matter of fact, even though I don't think this ends in a KO, I honestly think if there is a stoppage it will be Spence that stops Crawford.

For me this isn't about who I like or hate or who I think is bigger or faster, it is mainly down to these 2 styles and how I think the fight plays out. Regardless I think it will be a fight we never forget but I can't (and have never) felt like Crawford will win. Maybe I am wrong and we will see on Saturday.

 

"and Spence defeated a top 5 WW in Ugas, who is better than anyone Crawford has faced in his career."

This is where you lost me. Manny Pacquiao said it himself:
"“In my entire career, Ugas was one of the easiest opponents,” said Pacquiao during an interview with The Athletic. “He only had one style and I should’ve been able to easily move away.”

In other words he is saying that Ugas was horrible and he is right, that's also what I thought when I saw that fight. You obviously just don't have a very good eye for boxing.

 

You dont wear "war" attire into the ring and dedicate the fight to hagler with one foot out the door. Hagler might rise from dead and snatch his soul for that.

 

Why do people constantly try to pass their OPINION as a FACT? Lol. Amir fkn Khan went 6 with him and wasn't KO'd and that guy packs shattered glass.

 

This isn't necessarily true. It could have also been Kenny's idea after being disappointed with Shawn's training as a way to try and amp up his level. I am certain Shawn wanted to honor him with a W but father time always has something to say about that.
None of us know for sure and we all seem to differ on the version of Porter we saw in there.

 

My favorite part is where you didn’t actually dispute that Bud would’ve beaten Mikey in better fashion.

 

I am thinking the age of Crawford will make a bit of a difference and the size. Even though I think Crawford is probably the more skilled fighter overall, the timing and size issues give Spence the edge.
