    I can’t wait till Spence no masses Terrence. He’s the eye snatcher.

    Faster than a prime Brook that Errol broke down? Idk. Crawford isn’t that fast tbh.

    It's in the same ballpark, and even if he does lack the speed of Brook he more than makes up with it in terms of his reflexes.

    As Floyd’s Uncle Roger Mayweather of blessed memory use to say “Speed don’t mean ****, skills win boxing matches not speed”. If Speed wins boxing matches Amir Khan will be undefeated and Zab Judah would have beat Floyd. Crawford is good but compared to Spence he ain’t ****. Seriously I think you are underestimating EJ’s durability and complete skill sets and to the detailed eye I think Bud’s athleticism might have dipped a bit.

    Wasn't sure whether to put points or stoppage, but either way, Spence.

    My tiny concern was the car crash, so points.

    Yeah that’s what we do when considering Crawford against a bunch of opponents.

    We imagine bc he didn’t fight a lot of them!

    If he did, he wasn’t fighting the fresher versions Spence fought!

    Keep imagining!

    Always said Spence and I'll stick with it but those car crashes but have taken something out of him and narrowed the gap.

    Wonder if his sparring altered after tearing his retina though in regards to how much and how physical?

    Crawford is way more advanced than Spence. It's going to turn into a massacre in the second half of the fight, if Crawford doesn't knock him out before the halfway point.

    In another thread I made a comparison between the Kessler-Calzaghe fight and this one. And I think it's apt. Spence is a good, solid fundamental fighter (Kessler), while Crawford is a special fighter (Calzaghe). I think we are going to see a similar result, except I think Crawford is going to knockout Spence.
