    Why would I give credit when I've been saying the same thing about Spence for almost a decade? There's nothing even remotely disputable in my opening posts.

    He's defeated an undefeated unified welterweight champion with some solid wins throughout his career on a huge stage for all the marbles - that's why.

    Yeah, that's great. Still... nothing I said was untrue.

    You are beating your head against a wall of hatred and stubbornness. Not worth the effort.

    I think Spence's weight deffo played a part , but even if the fight was at 154lbs Crawford is just levels above him, Crawford is complete boxer and as I said so many times can beat Spence in a few ways , Spence only had pressure and size and only one way of trying to beat him , and both things didn't do nothing to stop Crawford dominate him.

    Crawford is a prime example of being naturally gifted and extremely dedicated to the craft and always being in the gym that is a deadly combination, he is a model professional athlete.. the guy deserves all the respect he is getting and more .. a special fighter ..

    I'm not picking holes, I'm giving an accurate and brutally honest assessment. But fine, if you want to convince yourself that a man whose best wins are a controversial SD over Shawn Porter and an 11th round TKO of a drained and badly damaged by GGG version of Kell Brook, is some ATG win. Knock yourself out.

    Who pissed in your punchbowl Frank? You sound like you were in love with Errol. I never knew you were such a fangirl. That loss seems to have devastated you.

    Nah, he is the local fighter so I supported him. I don't have any great love for the guy. Both he and Crawford ( the guy you say has no personality yet is quite articulate) are decent guys, no trash talking, very professional. The illogic of what some of you guys are posting is what has twisted off my analytical brain. Had Spence won in the same manner as Crawford did there would have been just the same craziness.

    I'll stop now. Moving on. Sniff.

    When Spence annalihilates him in the rematch at the weight they should've fought at - 154 - "Bud Crawford" is going to change his name the way Cassius Clay did, except he's not going to change it from something cool to something else cool like Ali did. He's going to be changing it from something dumb to something even dumber - namely, "BUNG CRAWLFORD." Because he'll get stomped a new BUNG hole! And forced to CRAWL f'rwrd! Bung CRAWLf'rwrd! LOLZAMAOAO!

    Worth adding that people were criticizng both Crawford and Spence for years as their record falls apart extremely fast under scrutiny, with the footnote being that Bud was always considered very talented and disciplined. Nothing has changed over night.

    Exciting scrap that should have happened a long time ago. Comparing it to Mayweather-Pacman who both had numerous HoF and ATG on their records is silly.

    I'll never understand the mental gymnastics to discredit Bud after every fight.

    For YEARS all we heard was how Spence was going to walk right through Bud . . .
