    Crawford basically shoeshined a one legged man to death. I thought he had a lot of trouble with Benavides size and got hit with a lot right hands.

    I love how this telecast hasn't mentioned Spence's name once.

    Yeaaaahhh... don't hold your breath. Gonna be another stiff lined up for Crawford next.

    Spence vs Crawford is definitely the fight to see. The other welters are solid, but not pound 4 pound talents.

    Crawford fought a one legged mediocre fighter and was getting touched up in the process.

    He best just keep fighting scrubs and stay the hell away from Spence.

    Guessing you just started watching boxing last night or you're still shook from GGG's loss.

    1. After all these years you should know the politricks of boxing. Al Haymon will be hard pressed to put any of his fighters in against themselves let alone be eager to put them in with Crawford. Perhaps he'd sacrifice Garcia since he's got two losses now. Can't see him putting in Spence, Porter or Thurman at this point.

    2. This was his 2nd fight at 147 after winning titles at 135 and becoming undisputed at 140

    3. I like Spence and I believe he'd beat Crawford but don't act like his last fight wasn't against a complete bum

    4. As a card carrying GGG criticism levied at Crawford in light of points 1-3 is hypocritical at best.


    The other clowns critical of Crawford, I'm ignoring but you sir should know better.

    His last fight was against a complete bum?

    And Crawford’s one legged foe last night was some world beater? Cmon man, once again, we will wait to judge him once he gets in there with a legit threat.

    Muzse... do you not understand that I'm not a Golovkin fan? If I was actually was, maybe this would be make sense... but he's not among my favorite fighters, so this is pretty strange. You're obsessed with Golovkin.

    Spence has fought at least at welter his entire career.

    Last night was Crawford's SECOND fight at welterweight. Terence has fought at 147 for LITERALLY 4 months.

    As much of a bum as you thought the guy was last night, he is a career welterweight and bigger guy. Whether or not he's more of a bum than Spence's last opponent is debatable.

    I don't understand knocking the choice of opponent 4 months in to the welterweight point of his career. Even Terence said the guy wasn't worthy of the title shot.

    You were badly undressed on both of those points in the aftermath of GGG's last loss. Selective memory, revisionist history or amnesia...whichever it is. Revisit those threads.

    Being his second fight at WW and being marginally the smaller guy should not even be an issue for someone who thinks that he has a claim to being one of the best PFP.

    I'm not revisiting those threads but unlike you.. I'm over Golov-Canelo. I was over it by that Sunday morning.

    What in fuck does Golov have to do with Spence-Crawford?

    You truly have a fixation with Golovkin, and it's weird you Constantly display that with me of all people, when I'm not even one of his fans.

    How many fights and steroid cycles do you think it will take before Crawford is a big welter that doesn’t struggle with gimpy fringe contenders because they belong in the weight class he fights in?

    Crawford has to fight Spence. Simple as that.

    That's the fight we want to see without a doubt. The reality of it with the division between Top Rank/ESPN and Haymon fighters/Showtime makes it unlikely. It's no different than Lomenchenko/Top Rank and Mikey Garcia/former Top Rank fighter.

    It won't happen and it's not the fault of the fighters, it's the promotional companies. We've seen this movie many times over the past couple decades. Not sure why it's a difficult concept to grasp.

    If the Fighters WANT it Bad Enough it'll Happen...

    Bo Mac OPENLY Pressured Todd DuBoef and Top Rank During Conference Calls and Name Dropped Spence w/No Regard...Bob Arum Mentioned Spence All Fight Week...Given This, it was Definitely DISAPPOINTING Crawford Wouldn't Say the Words "Errol Spence" @ All in his Post-Fight...

    "I Want 'em All"???...Nah Bruh, Name Names...SPEAK this Shit Into Existence...That's What Fans Want...

    If Crawford-Spence, Lomachenko-Garcia REALLY Want to Fight, They'll DEMAND Their Promotion/Management Make it Happen...All Parties Involved are THAT Valuable to Their Affiliates...

    Crawford annoys me with all his switch hitting. Is he southpaw or is he orthodox? Pick a side motherfucker!!!!!!!!

    I've always liked fighters who can switch-hit effectively. Adds another dimension to their game. Crawford is good at it.

    The Fact Most Fans CAN'T Tell What Crawford's NATURAL Stance is, is a Testament to How GOOD he Is @ Switching...

    He Doesn't Do it for SHOW Either...He Can Jab Just as Well from Either Side and the Pop in his "Power" Hand Isn't Appreciably Different, No Matter What Side he Operates from....

    In a World of SHOWY Switch Hitters, Guys who DO it w/No Real BENEFIT, Crawford's Switching is a Pleasure to Watch...It's Done w/PURPOSE...

    Yep...He Actually Came Out Righty, Didn't Look Terribly Comfortable w/Benavidez's LENGTH, and Switched to Southpaw Middle of Round 1...

    Crawford Switches Soooooo EFFORTLESSLY You Almost Don't Notice he's Switched Until he ALREADY Has...He Never "Announces" He's Switching, the Way the SHOWY Switch Hitters Do...

    Crawford is clearly more effective as a southpaw

    Benavidez is clearly more of a threat than ocampo. Comparing the two is a joke

    Crawford and spence should be the last two guys standing by the end of next year and maybe the fight will be lucrative enough for these assholes to make it happen

    Hagler is clearly the greatest switcher of all time (but he should've came out lefty against Leonard... he was being arrogant)
