    Crawford still deserves the utmost credit for that win......................the Spence in the ring would not have lost to anyone else that night, except maybe Boots.

    And this is coming from someone who thought Spence would be too strong (I like both)

    Ortiz, Thurman, and Stanionis would've stopped that Spence as well. It's like Thurman said, "That Spence loses to Shawn Porter"

    Joker does like his alt accounts. though if Joker, he's doing a good job hiding his usual annoying style. And it seems he can't stay away.

    No offense but im getting sick of people saying spence was weight drained. If he was so drained, why was his team so confident in the ring before the fight. he had forever to get down. The majority of people before the fight were saying errol was too strong. I said bud was stronger before the fight. If errols timing was so off, didnt they notice that in sparring in camp. Your not on in camp and then just suddenly off in the fight. Pernell, like crawford was a bad style matchup for errrol.
    ok, whitaker was too fast of foot and hand, his jab woulda dictated and controlled the fight like it did oscar. His balance was levels better and spence was way too slow and one dimensional to lay a glove on sweet pete.

    Now that Spence may have very well lost to Porter, I can concede that not the others though. Thurman is finished, Stanionis has not shown that level yet, and Ortiz has been proven to be just as physically fragile at 147

    Who cares, even if something was wrong pr did happen during camp, Spence was not pulling out of this fight. None of you guys can name another time Crawford looked that good. I just can't wait until the day come when he loses ( hopefully to Ennis or Ortiz jr).

    That version of Spence is not a.champion. that's one of the things I agree that Thurman stated.

    I actually rated spence pretty highly, crawford just showed he is a true elite. But Pernell would have beaten spence even the oscar version, ATG vs solid world champ. Too cute and smarr, errol ran out of plans and isnt as consistent as Oscar.

    Let me guess, you rank Taylor as high as Spence who gave Pernell hell? Spence is a.HOF at least

    ESjr will be lucky to make the HOF. He's simply a 147 champ. Not every single weight belt holder is in the HOF kiddo.

    I still think Errol can do well at 154lbs and gives crawford a better fight there, but crawford may want other people, which hes earned.
