Yeah there was a lot controversy behind the first crash depending on who you talk to.
During the bargaining stage of grief, an individual typically tries to negotiate with themselves, people around them, or with a higher power to postpone or undo the inevitable and/or lessen intense bereavement emotions. Bargaining is an attempt to deal with grief and loss or someone's impending mortality.Before the fight

i really dont think he watched tape outside of maybe the pacquaio fight. A lot was riding on that, and even tho he won easily, it wasnt his best peformance.Yeah, he used to say that. He’d say that once he gets in the ring with you he knows what you’re going to do.
Floyd was, though. I think it was one of those things that Floyd would say to increase his image/brand on some, “I don’t even write raps, I freestyle all my verses,” shyt. It’s akin to him being on 24/7 buying a whole bunch of candy in Walmart (I believe), drinking soda at open workouts, sparring with no headgear on a few days before the fight not worried about being cut, etc. Like, “I’m this fukking goooood.” I think it’s one of those things he said that wasn’t really true, but boosted his image.
Spence's fanbase got a lot of casual fans for whatever reason. The type of dudes who only watch Tank and Floyd fights and listen to NBA YoungBoy all day.Before the fight

It depends on how he responds mentally. He took a beating & was outclassed. But if he doesn’t fix his defensive issues, he could be food for the sharks at 54Do yall think Spence is food out here now??
Hyperbolic nonsense. If Spence wants the rematch, it should happen. Period.Get outta here with this bullshyt
Errols whole style was based on breaking down smaller guys with his bigger frame to make up for his basic boxing skills. And it finally came back to bite him in the ass. At 154 bud knocks him out within 5 rounds. Spence will never be the same again mentally or physically. Not even spiritually. He gonna need some demon souls type potions to fukk with bud.
.....another one dimensional weight bully who's gonna meet the right one in the very near future. You PBC Stanley's better learn from this experience
You do understand most Spence are still in shock about how Spence looked and not so much about Crawford, right?Before the fight

Though to be fair Hopkins disrespecting Tito Flag and then doing that to him was
I'm closer to 40 too. I've seen all the welterweights in those times. I was on sohh with the og's in Floyd fight threads when his threads could barely get 20 replies. His Arturo gatti fight thread didn't even get 50 replies. Hand to god.Man, I don’t know how old you are but I’ve been watching boxing a long ass time now. I’m way closer to 40 than 30, and I’ve been following the sport since childhood. My father was a big boxing fan so he had me watching it early. That was a great performance from Crawford. Bud looked tremendous, but it’s really speaks to how WELL he was prepared for Spence’s specific style. You’re taking one singular fight and trying to extrapolate it to some all-time standard no one has reached at WW, and you should know that’s improbable because boxing doesn’t work that way. What’s that thing they say? Styles make fights? You could have put that same Crawford in there against prime Winky Wright, and he’d look way less dominating than he did against Spence.
Now, if Crawford looked like that every fight, I’d agree with you, but he doesn’t. You need a bigger body of work than one single ass fight to be the “standard” or the “mile marker” for the entire history of the division. It’s not like horse racing or something where if horse sets a record time on a course/grounds… the horse that then runs a faster time by default is the fastest horse we’ve ever seen run this course.
Boxing is way more nuanced than that. Is Spence shot from years of cutting weight? shyt. Could be. Is his punch resistance completely gone? Could be. He was getting rocked by jabs. Spence had a bad training camp? Possible! And so on and so on. And here you are on this lovely Monday morning talking about one lone, single, solitary style that Team Crawford literally pulled out all the stops to minimize, and Bud looked great doing it, was the greatest welter weight we’ve ever seen.
You need to be stopped.
That’s a good observation.
If you can’t avoid a car on the road it’s gonna be tough to avoid them punches in the ring
