Upcoming Fights **Mod note: Keep discussion to fight night threads**

He'd have beaten both I think. He has an incredible defense and the fastest attack I've ever seen and incredible power.

I missed first four rds. Who was knocked down rd 2?

edit: ok. Spence down.

Pacquiao’s style might suit Crawford, he could get picked off, but a prime Pacquiao might not give Crawford time to choose his shots. Prime Manny was relentless.

Crawford v Mayweather would be interesting. Two very clever counterpunchers. Mayweather was almost impossible to hit clean and had a strong chin.

We witnessed greatness tonight, nobody alive can do it like Crawford. Incredible dismantling of an elite fighter. Absolute joy to watch.

They were two great fighters and I seen almost every fight of Mayweather's career. I was and still am a big fan of Floyd. He was extremely smart and had a superb defense.

Crawford is different though. I've never seen anything like him. He figures out all his opponents in the first two rounds by moving at them with different angles and different punches to find the weaknesses.

For me he's almost certainly the greatest I've ever seen.

I think his power would be the difference against basically anybody.

Well I got this one wrong!. What an incredible performance by Crawford. To be honest Spence looked like he knew he was up against as he walked to the ring. He looked nervous.

It's a shame that some you tube boxers are better known than he is. Based on that performance he would have caused Mayweather a lot of problems if they had faced each other. There is absolutely no point in a rematch. I wouldn't be surprised if Spence decides not to pursue one.

As good as Crawford looked against Spence, Mayweather’s feet and defence are far superior to Spence, and it was Spence’s feet and defence that hurt him last night, as well Crawford being very good.

getting a bit ahead of ourselves. I’d have to make Floyd a warm favorite v Terence. Style wise it’s an intense and strong pressure fighter with fitness and volume that would give Floyd real trouble.

Crawford is a methodical boxer/puncher. I reckon Floyd has acres of time to beat Crawford to the punch all night. Floyd’s jab and lead right hand key. And the defence and feet to minimise Crawford’s success.

Anyone else miss part of fight? I set alarm for 4:45 thinking it would start at 5:30, which is about 9:30 Las Vegas. I missed the first 4 rds

There are always excuses with boxers. Give it wee bit time.

even in his interview he looked absolutely spent.

Spence was a step slower all night. Reckon years of making 147 caught up with him, plus his car crash a few years ago. These issues combined with facing such a great all rounder in Crawford is tough.

Yes. Inside I think Floyd is better. Better at fighting and better at controlling. I just can’t see a path for Crawford to beat Floyd. Floyd’s hands too fast, crisp and sharp. And Floyd also hits hard enough to stun..

Beterbiev v Smith Aug 19 postponed due to infection in Beterbiev’s jaw.😖

Did the 18 months out of the ring play a part for Spence?

Would he have benefited from a tune up fight?

I'd still expect a Bud win but Jesus Spence looked poor the other night.

Crawford never was faster with hands, reflexes or feet than Floyd. Specsavers for you

That has always been Crawford, he is so assured and confident in what he does, he trusts the system yet he doesn't seem cocky, even talking to Charlo during the fight, you hang on every word/movement with Crawford, it's like watching art

As Eagleeyed said, he takes the first 2 rounds to figure out his opponent after the download it's game over.

The above v porter just showcases how he can switch it on at ease, there aren't many like him.

Round 10 gets told Porter is up, within 15 seconds porter is down, within 1 minute the fight is over.

number 1 P4P easy, he was before spence Jr, but after the showcase it just reaffirms it
