Prime pac obliterates Spence. Damn near on Antonio Margarito level. His feet are simply too slow for those type of elite fighters.

The fight from a few years ago woulda been 50-50. Cause pac woulda still been able to catch Spence everytime he leaned in or backed up on a straight line just like bud was. Thats how he caught Thurman and Keith has much faster feet than Spence. Spence just has a horrible habit of keeping his head high and stiff when he's backing up. That's suicide against fast guys who can cover distance quickly.

When you have slow feet you can't afford to have no head movement. Guys like James toney and canelo understood that. Spence showed zero improvement defensively over the years. That's gotta be on derrick James.

It would have been interesting still in 2021 because Spence got that detached retina in sparring for that fight
Ugas best the shyt out of Pacquiao, and Spence turned around and beat the shyt out of Ugas. Styles make fights but against Ugas Manny looked very old. Spence by tko

This, cats are making up hypotheticals now due to Spence not looking his best/out of form/beat and etc in the Crawford fight. The narrative beforehand was that Spence would have murdered Pacquiao its all in the previous threads :mjlol:

If you want some more ammo, go into the Brook vs Spence thread lol. I remember battling these Stans about Spence's bad habits & pointing it out but they of course didn't acknowledge any of it & were going at me. I think my nikka @HARLEM AL was riding for Spence back then too & him & me were going back & forth in there :heh:


Everyone's "boxing knowledge" on Spence dominating has been exposed. I was watching this Comedian roundtable on the Porter Way podcast.




48:00

- "Spence's power that people think he have does not take effect until the 7th or 8th round, since he stepped up to the elite level I have not seen him knock out anyone before the 7th round"
- "So knowing that, what makes you think Crawford can't pressure him the first 3 or 4 rounds? That's Crawford's mentality, to test Spence to see what he got"
- "People think Crawford pressuring Errol wouldn't work because in ya'll mind ya'll are brainwashed to believe that Errol is the stronger fighter of the two"
- "Spence can't fight on his backfoot so why not Crawford have the mentality to go get him?!"
- "Derrick James was mentioning Crawford's athleticism that he going to be like Roy Jones so we will wait a couple of years. If you really wanted a true fight, why are you hoping his athleticism would be gone in 5 years? You telling me that's a problem for ya'll"
- "This is what every Bully got to run into. What happens when your bullying don't work??"



Tell me how this Comedian Scruncho got more boxing knowledge than 90% of the Ring :deadrose::deadrose::deadrose:. Dude predicted what was going to happen TO A TEE

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
Yo... how do yall think Pacquiao and Spence would've turned out? :dwillhuh:


Pac is definitely faster than Bud and I think he uses more angles
Knowing what we know now any southpaw with Speed, counter punching ability, angles, and power picks Spence apart.. There's a reason why Spence looked sweet to a 42 yr old Pacquiao

Truth

Did a quick search in the Spence/Brook thread & I was giving work to these Spence fan boys all alone in that thread back in 2017 lol; especially my last post:

Yeah it was a great fight & Spence showed he's got grit but at the elite level he gets hit too much, doesn't vary his jab, & isn't as nearly effective going backwards.

Spence was hurt. He's just a pro & kept fighting like pros do. You can't get hit like he does at the elite level. Someone that punches as hard as Thurman WILL hurt him & make him pay for his defensive issues.

Hell no bruh. After seeing that you better hope Spence tightens his D or they better get a pillow ready for him in his corner.

Stop it fam. At the elite level you can't get hit like him from other elite fighters. Nobody said he's Rios but he gets tagged every fight. He got visibly hurt at least twice today. He doesn't fight well going backwards & doesn't change his jab up. He won this fight on his grit & determination. He also needs his feet planted to get his shots off where Thurman can punch on the move. He loses to Thurman fan because it's a bad style for him.

I'll keep it a bean, I am a fan not a stan of Spence and still will be but it is true that had the outcome been the other way, Spence stans wouldn't have been showing no ounce of "grace" and/or "respect" towards Crawford.

And I don't mean on The Coli, I mean social media wise mainly Twitter boxing heads. Seeing them have to give Crawford his props gotta be killing and even some of them STILL giving Crawford backhanded props.

One thing i'll say from most folks who are Crawford fans/stans or those just picked Crawford to win is that while they're getting their shyt off (deservingly so), they not claiming Spence as overrated or a hype job. They've acknowledged he great in his own right, but he just ran into someone who was/is better than him.

Spence fans/stans just need to rewatch the fight and you'll see he was fine...he just got his ass beat by an ATG fighter. The bully got bullied :yeshrug:
