Spence isn’t a dog? Spence is “The Big Dog” at his weight class! You all want to know who is P4P? Facts don’t lie. Spence went hunting and beat 3 tough champs to earn his belts. Crawford hiding behind his belt and ran from his chance to earn undisputed??? He could have proven he is P4P by fighting Spence. Crawford made it to the Superbowl of Boxing in his weight class and CHOSE not to fight his opponent?
NO EXCUSES? Not money,not where the fight takes place,not anything?? True Champions seek out and destroy every opponent in their way to achieve one goal in the weight class they are fighting “UNDUSPUTED”. Sound familiar? That’s because that has been SPENCE plan since he beat Leonard Bundu. Spence Kaye’s out his plan based on who was at the top at that time. He called out Kell Brook (true Champ) and agreed to all of his terms including fighting him in his own country! Spence would beat him by TKO in his toughest fight of his career(Spence’s own words).Spence seeking out the best and beating the best! Spence then calls out Thurman and Pacquiao. Thurman continued to duck Spence and the fight talks for pacquiao began but couldn’t get wrapped up. Spence then fought the challenger of his belt Lamont Peterson(another true Champ) and won again TKO.
Talks continued with Pacquiao but didn’t come to fruition and once again Spence defended his title against Carlos Ocampo with a First round Knock Out. This was his 2nd defense of his belt in 2018. Remember? During this entire time period Spence continued to call out all the Belt holders of his weight class and they continued to avoid him. He defended his title again against Mikey Garcia in early 2019 and finally he get to fight Shawn Porter for another Belt. Shawn Porter beat Danny Garcia for the WBC Belt and many disagreed with the decision. Spence beat Porter to take the WBC Belt (not as close as everyone thought) and it was one Hell of a fight. Soon thereafter Spence wrecked his car in a high speed one car accident and was ejected from his car. Thank God that Spence came out alive. The accident created Spence hardest opponent of his life. He had to fight himself to get through the physical, emotional, and psychological affects that would carve him out to be the man,husband,father, and fighter he is today. He would then come back to fight Danny Garcia and proved he could box as good as he can fight and completely dominated Danny and frustrated him every round because Spence outboxed him throughout the entire fight. Spence finally got the fight he wanted for the next Belt! Manny Pacquiao!!! Unfortunately he tore his retina and the fight went to Ugas. Ugas won and Spence signed a deal to fight Ufas for the belt. Spence fought and it was a complete physical annihilation. Spence Took his 3rd belt and immediately called out Crawford!!! So here we are? Spence called out,traveled the world and beat everyone on their terms. What has Crawford done? Who has he fought? Yes. Undisputed in a different weight class but we are at 147? He has fought everyone Spence has already beaten into submission (none of them are the same after fighting Spence). He finally gets the opportunity of a lifetime to fight Spence for the “Super Biwl” of boxing and he chooses to fight another nobody??? For money they say? What a joke!!! He chose someone other than Spence because he is more afraid of losing than he is confident in winning? You make it all the way to the SuperBowl and then you duck out and fight a nobody???? History will judge Crawford critically in the near future and he has lost another fan that truly thought he would be one of the greats in History
Spence is all in,no doubt about it. He’s the man with the plan.🤑 Dollar Bills all the way!
Interested in seeing how Errol’s eye holds up. I like Errol, but Ugas is no slouch.
Spence is a much smarter fighter. No losses…
