Crawford and Spence are the best two fighters at welterweight and super lightweight, we all know that. Both are great for the sport. If one of them loses, it will hurt one's marketing ability and thus hurt the sport. They should beat guys like Thurman, Lomachenko, Canelo, etc., clean up around them before they fight. I will enjoy watching them tear down the opposition and boxing will have that Mayweather-Pacquiao excitement again sooner or later. When they finally fight, it will be one of the greatest and most anticipated fights ever.
If they fight now, then yeah, we will get the best possible fight in boxing at the moment, but we will stand with a long silence after the storm... This is a fight worth marinating.
This well happen as soon as Crawford get a belt and if spence defeats One Time in 2019 this way the ppv we'll be for all the belts and someone's O got to go .. This will also be a Trilogy no doubt about it , you have two of the top p4p fighters with opposite styles that match each other perfect !! Both guys got balls and heart they'll be ready to rumble each guy will go for the kill wherever the other is stunned or knocked down . It's a win-win situation for both even with a Loss !! Spence only knocks how to fight going forward kinda like Iron Mike Tyson so it will be interesting when Crawford sets traps and catches him . Terrance is probably the most complete fighter since Chavez maybe better cause he can fight southpaw or naturally . I think the horn is going to tells all we need to know about his power and most importantly well he be able to handle his power shots . If Jeff can land and hurt TC then Spence will put him through the canvas ... Rematch the Gamboa fight he was rocked pretty dam good by 130 pound fighter so what will 165 Spence do it him if he lands clean . I truly believe Crawford going to land a perfect 2 punch counter uppercut followed by a hook . Spence ACHILLES HEEL zero head movement his offense is his Defense !!! This is a huge Trilogy !!! Blockbuster definitely happening !!!
and hes ruled out a top 10 fighter for his next fight. hes trying to grow his hate watch fanbase like floyd by fighting guys no one cares about
I can understand him not fighting a top ten guy for his next fight. He has to put that elbow to the test and he shouldn't risk it against a top-tier guy.
He's already absolutely ruled out Crawford for 2018 and it's only February. That's not the "One Time" I remember.

Damn he just had sugery b4 beating Porter n DSG. Lets see him return first geez

I think they should fight after Crawford gets a few WW fights into his career,....if he continues to win that is. But that last thing any of us want to see is another Pac/Mayweather Marination scenario, or even worse, what is going on right now with the MW division Stalemate between the top contenders (Jacobs, Andrade, Charlo, Devryanchencko, Murata, etc) "waiting around" on the Canelo/GGG saga to play out and refusing to fight one another in the mean time. That's BS. Say it takes three fights to get Spence /Crawford fight in the works, in the mean time Thurman will drag out two or three rehab fights and then rematches with Garcia and Porter before Spence or Crawford ever get any consideration for a fight. That's two or three years away. No, Spence and Crawford may as well fight each other and line themselves up as a certain mandatory fight for Thurman and maybe hasten the process of fighting Mr "One Time". Just My Opinion
Thurman is changed. I fear he may no longer be the young, hungry "One time". He's been injured and has gotten married. He'll be wondering about the elbow and his wife will be telling him to quit boxing and start a family. I think he's working on his exit strategy.

If promoters used your method there would be no boxing.
Mayweather-Pacquiao happened. Canelo-Golovkin happened. Boxing is still there. And we are still here, following the sport.

Thurman has repeatedly said he wants 2 tune ups. That means he the unification with Spence is 2019. Ugggh.

"Marinate"? WTF are fighters these days, ribs? A "marinated" fight is about stalling to see if the opponent shows signs of fading & aging in other tough fights- Ala what Oscar & Canelo did before they would make the fight with Golovkin. The most famous "marinate" fail of all of course, is Mayweather vs Pacquiao. Great for them to get ultra rich- shitty for the fans who helped them get rich & were rewarded with a glorified sparring match between two of the oldest stars in the sport.
This is ridiculous, the main reason you don't want the fight to happen is because one will lose marketability if they lose? Should we just protect every fighter and expect no one to be challenged? This is literally one of the only fights that could be made that I would pay for. We need big fights , I think the idea of this is just laughable
When one of them loses, then what? Then who will you be excited to see the winner fight next? Without Crawford, Lomachenko and Spence, there are no true elite level fighters in the child size divisions. They will lose a lot of glamour.
News flash: One top fighter losing to another top fighter does not equal huge market loss. In fact, the opposite could hold true. As long as it is a good, competitive fight, which in all likelihood it will be- The stage for a rematch or even trilogy will be set.
I have no issue with the tune up coming off a long layoff. Do that and then what-Porter rematch? Broner? Garcia rematch? If you are going to do that you might as well fight Spence.
Spence looks to outgrowing 147 very soon. It would be ideal fr him to fight Thurman and Crawford before he does.
We all want the Crawford/Spence fight this year.
You sure made a statement there! Spence is out growing 47. I also think that is another reason why he is so gung hoe about getting it on asap. I think a lot of peeps fail to realize that he is a young, hungry fighter, that is still growing physically. It may be 2019 when these super fights come around. I don’t think Danny or Broner should even be mentioned in the 47 category, until 1 really proves something there. I mean Danny looked like it was life and death the first 9 rounds against Guerrero. I also think that Keef dominated DSG , until he started boxing and moving. That very well could have been bc if the injury as well. Now he’s fighting Brandon Rios as his comeback fight. I know he needs to knock the rust off, but Rios? C’mon bro. Broner, if he doesn’t get his boxing career on track asap he’s done, walking through Figaroea would be a start. Broner has some issues, maybe Kevin Cunningham can help, maybe not.... but I think it is a step in the right direction. He has needed change for a while, Kevin might be the perfect fit. But right now, he shouldn’t be in any topics of relevance at 147 right now, imho.

thats the puzzy floyd mayweather mentality. gassiev at 24 years old is about to fight usyk with the winner guaranteed to win FOTY and be top three P4P. canelo at age 23 faced floyd with a weight disadvantage. ray leonard was 24 when he faced roberto duran. crawford is 30 and spence is 27. and you want to marinate for another two years? floyd wants to keep tank away from loma to squeeze more money out of him beating on bums but tanks image has already suffered. all over social media hes a coward and he hears it all because he responds to the comments.
