In an interview with Zenger News, Mayweather said that he is impressed by both fighters’ strengths. “Spence is a power puncher who likes to walk you down and throw brutal body shots,” Mayweather said. “Crawford is a more versatile fighter who can fight southpaw or orthodox and has a lot of different ways to beat you.”
