    This is a fair and balanced take

    Spence is an awful lot bigger than Crawford. How well he does the weight given the lay off will be a big factor.

    I lean towards Spence personally. His size volume and bodywork will break Crawford down.

    Errol Spence drives like a being experiencing multiple dimensions of reality at once, so no.

    Not at all one-dimensional. He isn't a *dynamic* fighter, but that's not the same as saying he has only one style.

    No he can box from the outside, and dog it out on the inside and has good enough power to keep you honest with solid fundamentals to go along with it. Far from one dimensional.

    Being one dimensional nowadays is very hard if you're at the top level, save for say Wilder.

    Haven't seen Spence having to adapt , because all his opponents thus far have been flat footed so he can hook them down .. he never fought a real counter puncher his own size who can move around the ring and come in at angles .. PCB have tried their best age out Crawford so he loses his mobility ( Which Spence can't handle) and stamina.. but Crawford a special one .. dude can win this wins in MANY different ways, Spence only one .. walk you down with them slow as# body shots lol that's all he has over Crawford..

    He can box on his toes, he can stalk, he can bully, he can fight going forward or on the backfoot. That's like 5 dimensions right there.

    How the **** is he one dimensional?

    Ion think people realize what they be sayin' :ohno

    Even Wilder was able to outbox Stiverne

    they dksab and just talk out the ass. as a matter of fact, they dont even know what one dimensional is, much less how it would apply in boxing, something they know less about.

    Never seen this, plus he tends to spit out his mouth piece when he is stunned, doing that tactic with Crawford is very risky.

    Fair question you might be right. Spence is a smart fighter though he is subtle with some of the things he does. He can box and he can slug.

    I'm not questioning his boxing knowledge.

    I'm personally sick of him commenting on everything other than how much of a flop he is and how badly he runs his company. I've got absolutely no respect for who he is. He's a massive narcissist and uses his fighters to boost his own ego.

    He's been nothing but a huge embarrassment to himself post career.

    I know enough to not need Fishnets to tell me who may or may not be one dimensional.
