    I favor Crawford to win by late stoppage, but in truth i believe it's a 50/50 fight and honestly if Spence pulls it off, i feel this forum would brush crawford off due to his smaller size, weaker resume, and wouldn't give Spence the commendation he would deserve for said win

    I think Crawford wins a close fight but if Spence does win I will give him just as much credit.

    Just ignore anybody who discredits either fighter.

    Since I think Crawford will utterly eviscerate Spence. If Errol can beat him, he gets full credit from me.

    I think Spence is gonna demolish Bud’s body and there will be headclashes since he won’t be able have that southpaw advantages against a southpaw.. This will be the toughest fight of their careers and whomever win will be recognized sa the Undisputed WW champ and undisputed best WW of this era..

    He has to beat Bud with dominance, no BS scorecards.
    If he manages to do that, I will give huge credit.

    Close fight that people can score either way - means no credit

    This site has fanboys and haters and those who lack knowledge but, mostly, it has boxing fans who understand the sport and know what they are talking about. Anyone who discredits either fighter, regardless of the outcome, should probably ban themselves from the boxing forum. They can hang out in the lounge and expound upon world events.

    He'd get credit if he actually fights him at last

    Atleast close fights prove fighters are near equal .
    Thats worth something though.
    For example I consider Barrera and Morales equal and those fights lifted them both to ATG's.
    Not alone of course but its worth something.

    This fight is basically the hearns vs leonard of this generation.

    Huge credit.

    Anyone who denies either fighter credit for this win is just a pathetic online hater.

    I would hope everyone gives the winner full credit.
    These are two top notch guys.

    If Spence beats Crawford I’ll give him all the credit in the world. Spence had faced better opposition and also had a horrible car crash.
    on top of that ; @CST80 , he has shown some weird reactions post crash inside the ring as outlined by others on this site.

    May the best man win this one but I see a competitive fight with Bud taking the W.

    He'll get credit as being a bona-fide ATG WW talent.

    People will be comparing him the likes of Curry, Hoya, Mosley, Forest and the greats that came before.

    No one who wins this fight should be discredited. How can 1A winning over 1B be discredited? or vice versa

    That's crazy
