And Crawford keeps going up in weight and sooner or later he will come across someone just too big, two powerful for him to out box. Spence is a legit Welterweight, this is Crawford's what 3rd or 4th weight class?

Exactly what happened to Mikey Garcia.

I'm starting to think that Spence is underrated by the RAWK boxing thread. I think Crawford beats him though

I think Spence wins it in quite comfortably.

I think Crawford batters him. Spence is very good but don't believe him to be elite.

I agree that he isn't elite, or at least hasn't shown it. A lot of people are perhaps still thinking of the time he battered poor old Kell but Brook was competitive in that fight for a reasonable while from memory. I also thought he would handle Porter a LOT more easily.

Now I REALLY want to see this fight

The best ones are always bouts where there is a reasonable degree of disagreement amongst fans on who will win. Joshua vs Fury is another prime example, and is probably top of my 'fights I want to see' list. Spence vs Crawford is possibly #2. This is followed by Canelo versus anyone who can beat the fucker

That is sadly a very very short list.

Spence couldn't stop Mikey Garcia, let alone drop him and Mikey was moving up 2 divisions and Spence is a huge Welterweight.

He's a solid welterweight but I believe his power is overrated and that Crawford outboxes him.

Too bad Spence is making noise about not unifying Crawford but is happy to unify with Ugas, far easier competion. He knows Spence is a genuine threat and does not want it.

Aside from Fury-Joshua this is the fight I really want!

It's basically a blank piece of paper in my eyes. Unless GGG gets to fight him in Kazakhstan with his Mum and Dad as the judges I don't see anyone beating him.

If Andre Ward came out of retirement or if he did something daft like going up to CW then maybe.

Last few posts between the regulars great in terms of their opinions on Bud / Spence. It’s 100% a pickem like Manny and Floyd was in their prime, let’s hope it happens!!

Samie · « **Reply #65568 on:** February 2, 2021, 09:44:46 pm »

And in their primes because by the time Mayweather and Pacquio did get it on we knew Manny was over the hill in terms of elite level.

Alf · « **Reply #65569 on:** February 3, 2021, 12:18:28 am »

While Crawford & Spence both remain unbeaten it remains one of the biggest fights in boxing. Manny Pacquaio had lost to Juan Manuel Marquez & Tim Bradley 3 years before the Mayweather fight. That’s the risk they run if the fight doesn’t happen before one of them gets beat.

Samie · « **Reply #65570 on:** February 3, 2021, 12:33:39 am »

Mate it doesn't matter if they both lost and the fight happened within 2 years or something. If they fight in 4 or 5 after on of 'em has lost 3 times then you'd have a point.

Because he gets a million bucks for fighting at fucking featherweight every time, and also being nowhere near a star name (IMO)

It would be fun seeing him trying to hit Rey Vargas who is about 8 foot tall

How Vargas makes 122 pounds is a mystery; must be a nightmare to fight against.

Samie · « **Reply #65573 on:** February 4, 2021, 04:58:17 pm »

There's also Light Middleweight who's like nearly 7 foot tall and he's in his early 20's. These lads could go up 4 weights easily.

Come on we all know he never lost to Bradley. One of the biggest robberies in recent times.

Bradley's big head swayed the judges card.

Clayton Bigsby · « **Reply #65576 on:** February 5, 2021, 12:04:51 pm »

Bradley was 20/1 to get the decision at the end of fight. That's how much of a travesty the decision was.

Samie · « **Reply #65577 on:** February 5, 2021, 12:12:31 pm »

Can't argue with the Marquez KO though. Don't get a more sweeter KO than the one that landed on Pacman that night.

I think the Bradley decision was just karma catching up with Manny after all those gifts he got against JMM over the years!

He should've been given the third fight ( Robbery) and the first (draw) and he won the fourth.

I would watch if he took on all 4 at once. Each guy gets a round then the next comes in. Boxing version of a gauntlet

Canelo Alvarez has declared that he is planning to fight four times this year. Feb 27th (Avni Yildirim), May 8th (terms agreed for Billy Joe Saunders), September and December. If you include Callum Smith, that's five fights in 12 months.

I'm sure I read somewhere that that's how Floyd used to train, get 4 sparring partners and rotate them at the end of each round. So he'd probably still win!

Would be some spectacle though

Imagine 50 cent making the power tag at the start of round 4
