The Truth About Errol "The Truth" Spence — Dis Sleepy-Eyed Dude Is Hella One Dimensional (!!!)

I think he beats Crawford, possibly KO's him. Spence may not be as slick or versatile but he is a methodical destroyer, tough, aggressive and tactically composed. I'd back him to overwhelm anyone at welter with his size and style. He also has a Golovkin-esque quiet self-belief about him, the guy knows exactly how much of a beast he is.

Algieri?

 

I doubt Spence and Crawford will fight. Spence will fight low risk/low reward fighters while he waits out Run Time. Meanwhile, Thurman will delay Spence until at least the autumn/winter of 2019. The thinking for this strategy will be to let Spence absorb additional ring wear and to have to endure a few more grueling camps where he boils down from 180 to 147 with the hope that by he time they meet, Spence will come in somewhat diminished, having left part of himself in the gym.

At that point, Spence moves to 154, win or lose. I don’t think Bud will want to follow him up.

 

Another stupid ass thread by Zimorsky

 

Dosn't have an ounce of power Bud Crawford does.

 

Definitely hyped up and overrated. His claim to fame is a hard fought win over a GGG leftover who’s eye socket was still healing up.

 

Brook won 2 rounds tops, maybe 3.
That's all that I gave him, weird definition of ownage....
Spence destroys Thurman, just look at the **** Thurman says.
If Lomachenko or Kovalev said what Keith said they would get slammed on boxing forums and labeled duckers.

Spence vs Crawford is 50-50.

 

Seriously? Algerie? Who couldnt crack an egg? Movement+enough power to keep him honest and its a wrap for Spence. Hes Trinidad 2.0 but lefty with less power. His chin is also questionable. I pick both a healthy Thurman and Crawford to beat him.

 

If Errol is enormous, than what were Paul Williams, Vernon Forrest, Kermit Cintron, Mike Jones, Margarito, and Oscar De La Hoya?

I don't disagree though, from what I have seen, he does seem a bit more vanilla than what I was expecting.

 

Don't know about that, Spence is still improving as well, and is naturally bigger. Crawford may fold under pressure. This won't be a robotic Russian Frankenstein like Postol.

How is Spence Enormous? He's like 5'9. All the guys I mentioned were bigger than him.

 

Algieri doesn't have an ounce of a lot of attributes Crawford does. I only brought him up as the op asserted all it takes to beat Spence is movement and Algieri could move if nothing else.

See above explanation for the Algieri mention. I can understand why most people are picking Crawford, who boasts a wider array of skills and is more accomplished. I just feel Spence is much too much of a muchness and will be able to grind down and impose himself on the smaller, less powerful Bud. I get the impression Thurman doesn't share your confidence in his chances but hopefully we get both fights in a timely manner and we'll find out what's what and who's who at 147.

Its possible I overrate Spence based on liking his style and personality as well as letting gym/sparring stories cloud my judgement. I did bet on him to beat Brook though. Did the Brook fight do nothing to convince you Spence could handle movement + power?

 

LoL... Spence is the truth!! Stop with the lame Brook excuses... Spence went to Brooks livingroom and dominated.. The way he grinded Brook down was amazing!
