So, is it Crawford or Spence? Or both? Crawford might be able to fight on the back foot and have some success, but how would Errol Spence beat Canelo?
Ive been saying it a long time now and ill say it again, Spence needs to stay as far from Crawford as possible. He is a terrible stylistic matchup for Spence and you are on the money. He will make Spence look stupid.
I was saying crawford beats canelo easier then lara beat him. I think he beats Spence aswell. He moves real well, switches up equally as good, and throws every punch
As a welterweight, I think hes very good. I think his combination of attributes put him up there with the best the division has seen since Trinidad and Oscar (who for the record I think are a level or two... or three, above Spence) Obviously if Mikeys skills and power trouble him tomorrow I'll have to retract my assessment but as of now I think he would give the best welterweights of the last era all they wanted and then some. Cotto, Hatton, Mosley, Pac, Williams, Margarito and Clottey... I think Spence holds his own just fine against them and wins far more than he loses. Only person from the previous era I think beats him without struggling is Mayweather, due to styles. Not sure how that can be considered 'just ok'
You are absolutely insane. Canelo would absolutely destroy Spence. Canelo skill wise is better than people give him credit for. Spence cannot hurt Canelo and his body work will not be as effective because all it takes is for Canelo to catch him once coming in and its lights out. I like Spence but come on now. Thats crazy.
Based on what? Canelos devastating performances vs Chavez jr, fielding, Kahn, and Kirkland? I think Spence even punches harder then canelo.
Spence might not a certified legend due to the fact he actually hasn't been boxing that long. However he has more than enough for Mikey. Mikey is trying to play mind games but Spence ain't biting. Spence salty as hell and is intent on the total destruction of Mikey. I am sure that Mikey has something to say about that but it won't be enough.
I like Spence... but Canelos performance against Golovkin is better than anything Spence has done, controversy or not. Spences best win is against a guy Golovkin ragdolled. Spence vs Canelo is a hell of a fight... but Brooks size and physicality made Spence a bit less imposing than normal, and if Brooks size made a slight impression on the fight, Canelos definitely will. Would be an interesting matchup to me. Weve seen Canelo fight big strong fighters (Golovkin twice) We haven't seen how Spence will react when he's being hit with what Canelo will put on him.
