Will this fight negatively effect Crawfords legacy?

Was Crawford too good? He made Spence look like a chump. So when people go back to watch this fight they won’t see the win as that impressive since Spence looked like amateur in there.

 

Crawford put on a masterpiece of a performance and beat a top 10 P4P guy. Crawford is the man right now, let him live it up because he deserves it

 

No, that was a great performance.

 

The so called biggest threat to Crawford was Spence with some even saying for years that Crawford was ducking him ! The showing up that Crawford gave Spence last night will never have a negative effect on Crawfords legacy. I fancied Crawford to win did not expect to him win in the way that he did,Crawford or Inoue are now both legit lb for lb no1 with solid arguments for both there cases imo .

 

Everything will be contextualized in the books, man. If Spence retires tomorrow, most likely they'll remember how hot Spence actually was when he was cooled down. If he goes and fights again and looks like he's shot and doesn't look any better, it will devalue it, unfairly, a bit. But something will depend on what Spence goes on to. I hope he does good afterward.

 

You know something Why does boxing have to be like this so let's say boots beats Crawford but Spitz beats boots that takes away from what Crawford accomplished

 

Bootsy Collins is one of the greatest to ever do it though. Mark Spitz is just a swimmer. And may God bless him for that but I'm not about that life. In boxing, we swim without gettin' wet.

 

But if it was a tough fight it would be even worse. Everyone would say he is overrated or rubbish.

 

Presenting it this way, one-day people can question every great victory from the past the same way, for example when they see how Usyk wins over AJ.

Fair victory, a dominant one. Nothing negative, quite the opposite - proves how good he really is.

True. I can see the reasons of the OP and yours. Both are because of the deviated evaluation of one's performance by some fans or "experts".

 

I can hear the underwater funk while swimming through the grooving baselines.

 

Yes, after all, it took Terence Crawford 1 second longer to knock out Jeff Horn than Errol Spence. This has damaged his reputation for good.

 

Nah it was a good win for Crawford, it hurts in a way that Spence really wasn't competitive from the start.
It's not Crawford's fault though.
I expected it to be a lot closer but it wasn't, not remotely.

 

Great fight by Crawford!! Respect!

 

Would love to see Crawford attempt a 3rd unified division and go up and fight Charlo. Masterful performance from the man!

 

Are you high? Crawford just became the first two division Undisputed fighter with a masterclass performance - the definition of legacy-defining

Nothing negative about it unless you are in the Spence camp!
