:dead:

They fight nothing alike, don't have similar dimensions, Bradley knockout percentage was ass compared to Bud, and Bradley ain't never breath on the top of anybody P4P list
Yall say anything on here now

Yeah they really don't fight nothing alike. Bud primarily fights on the backfoot, and Bradley can't fight on the backfoot to save his life.

Agree to disagree.
Here's how I see Spence vs Crawford..i don't like what I've seen in the last few Crawford fights..Benavidez and Mean Machine hit him str8..Spence can swarm and crowd you and back you up with accurate body shots...Crawford don't need that kind of pressure in his life. Mean streak or not, he shouldn't want to trade with spence or he'll end up worse than Porter in round 11.

Would Bud be the hardest puncher Spence ever fought? I feel like Spence could bother Bud and make him think before throwing. Bud obviously hurts dudes with his accurate punching and has good power in both hands but I never really seen Spence hurt like that. Porter and Brooks backed him up but I don't think he was ever hurt. I'd rank Bud power above those guys tho, especially over 12 rounds. I wonder if Bud would be the hardest sharpest puncher Spence faced and if that could confuse Spence like how Wilder had no plan B against Fury.

Spence deals with light heavys in training camp..thats why he ain't shook by Crawford or Canelo...he does 15 round spars in camp. The kid has stamina for those with stamina issues.

Spence can box and jab you all night long with that range...let's never compare Wilder to a guy with that kind of jab placement and parrying ability. Spence knows to feint to the body and load up when you come in for a counter. Thats a good scientific boxing mind.

I had suspicions about him back at 135 and 140, flaws that I saw that I thought he was just fighting like that because he was big for them weight classes, but he making the same mistakes at 147. Tim Bradley, Crawfords biggest fan, said live on broadcast how Benavidez took his jab away. Mean Machine was tagging him with right hands using basic boxing fundamentals no special effects or nothing basic boxing, and these guys were just standing there to be hit. Spence ain't finna stand there to be hit in exchanges. Both the Benavidez fights and the Mean Machine fights turned in Crawfords favor when those guys gassed out, not because they were hurt by his punches. If you go back and watch his fights they all play out like a script bro.

The one thing in the Mean machine fight...when he got dropped unofficially, he got back up and went wild. Started landing consistent hard shots..kind of how we saw Fury react in the Wallin fight after the doctor checked that cut and seemed to consider stopping it..he fought like his life depended on it at that point:laugh:

That was Mean Machine though bro, Mean Machine is a B level fighter at best, his life did depend on it.

PAC is too careful and picky at this stage of his career to do this fight. I’d love to see it, but I don’t believe it for a second.

Manny don't want another :deadmanny: on his resume. He'll play it safe and hope he can survive like Mikey against Spence.
Bud would win by stoppage and it could be bad for Manny


Right. Plus I don't think the two promotion camps a dealing with each other on that level. It would Be an awesome fight though. This day and age fans are not getting the boxing they deserve because of all the red tape and greed.

Bud should whoop him and I think he does...

I can see this fight happening if the Floyd rematch isn't possible by the end of the year...

Pac been holding out since Thurman just for that...
