Spence coming off a car accident fought tougher foe than Bud has in his entire career

I really have to suspect Crawford's pick of opponents.....he claims no one will fight him...yet...he instantly turns down Thurman who never asked for 10 million and also had no interest in Porter. So you can't have it both ways, complain no one will fight you and then make no effort to fight note worthy fighters. Don't forget they originally called Brook damaged goods and unworthy...but guess what he was his last fight. Crawford is talented but will lose to Spence and I think in his heart of hearts he knows what he would be in for. It simply boils down to a smaller skilled welter fighting an equally skilled larger welter. At some point Crawford would have to step to Spence and the heat would be too much. If they ever fight and this is looking less and less likely I think this will be the outcome. That being said Spence said ask me about Crawford after the Garcia fight.....well after the Garcia fight he wanted no part of that conversation. That is not fear on Spence's part but he has to tow the Haymon line.

He’s not as good a win as Garcia (if one was to beat him at 140) but stylewise, he’s terrible to fight and he would’ve beaten Garcia imo. He;s just as good a fighter despite his lacking resume. We’ll see how well Garcia is competing with the elite at an advanced age like 36 as Postol has been doing. Postol would be kod by danny at 140. Like I said his claim to fame is beating a shot Lucas that DANNY ruined lol And what are you talking about? Lol danny is fighting elite competition at a bigger weight class right now. Smh

Make all the excuses you want, Spence’s side has been the one holding up the fight. There is no denying that. If he can fight Mikey Garcia, Ocampo, Porter, Danny, etc, he can fight Crawford. He doesn’t have to go through no gauntlet. Lomachenko wasn’t made to go through no Gauntlet when he moved up to fight Linares, neither Roy Jones vs Ruiz, or Mayweather vs Castillo etc etc. Porter is a decent fight that has become available recently, cool, but we want Spence vs Crawford. Keep fanboying it up though. I'm making excuses for the excuses crawford has been making for the lack of competition he has faced? Makes sense lol Spence doesnt need to chase crawford. He sells more, he fights better fighters, and he has options to fight. Everybody with a brain cell knows this is vintage top rank, so no Spence is not holding up the fight. Theres a reason every major fighter top rank has had has left lol

We have to stop blaming Crawford and put blame on Bob Why does Bob get immunity from Criticism by fans and especially Mainstream Boxing Media? The man is Legend but Bob NEVER been easy to work with. I remember him and Gary Shaw going at it over the Mayweather vs Winky Wright fight as well as him and the late Dan Goossen (RIP) going at it over Paul Williams vs Pavlik. Bob Antics are not new, this is what he does. Bob is a Control Freak if he can't be in charge he is not going to want to do it so this hurts Crawford! People want to give Bob credit for Fury vs Wilder but Frank Warren and Shelly Finkle negotiated that before Bob became involved with Fury Arum should absolutely get a lot of the blame.

That is so true. It's time for Bud to step up his level of opposition before he starts calling out the very best in the welterweight division.

Keep fanboying it up though. So Crawford resigned with Top Rank knowing every other relevant welter was with PBC but it's Spence that's holding up the fight? Despite Spence being more accomplished at ww and having multiple successful PPVs, Crawford says he gets 60% or no fight but it's Spence who's holding up the fight?

Same reason people think Crawford is a top welter despite never beating an elite fighter there. You can't have it both ways. he beat horn after horn beat pac so its not having it both ways. its actually the people who think horn won that pac fight that are having it both ways cause then they turn around and say "crawford never beat anyone!" if you thought horn won then how is that not a good win... garcia has nothing like that on his ww resume. crawford has 2 top 10 wins. nothing great but way better than garcia. haney=top guy crawford=not top guy? i dont get it.

He would still be the best opponent on Crawford's entire resume. only to people who care abouts names

what makes danny garcia so good at ww? hes literally never beaten a top 10 fighter there. He would still be the best opponent on Crawford's entire resume.

We both want to see them fight. What's the point of tearing down either of them after the other one fights. Shit is lame. You can be a fan of one fighter, without being critical of his opponent or potential opponent.

You're seriously blaming Spence for crawfords inability to demand better opponents from his promoter? It's been a known fact he turned down a porter fight and that they went away from ugas before brook Make all the excuses you want, Spence’s side has been the one holding up the fight.

I'm not a big fan of Crawfords resume but it seems like nobody relevant is willing to fight the guy. Porter seems to want it so I guess that would be a start. TC just never should have signed with Top Rank. A bad decision for his career and one that does more harm than good for the sport as well.

Exactly What exactly makes postol such a good win..? He beat a shot lucas (in part because Danny beat the dog**** out lucas) and has proceeded to lose every other big fight hes ever been in. What in the world makes postol a better than Danny in either 140 or 147? He’s not as good a win as Garcia (if one was to beat him at 140) but stylewise, he’s terrible to fight and he would’ve beaten Garcia imo. He;s just as good a fighter despite his lacking resume. We’ll see how well Garcia is competing with the elite at an advanced age like 36 as Postol has been doing.

Outside of the title shots, no he hasn’t. The title shots that Crawford has been asking for but Spence has to go through this list of names first supposedly.

Who gives a **** what one drew or ppv sales one had compared to the other?? It's clear these 2 are the top of the division and need to fight now for fuksakes!...the bandwaggoning fans from both sides and threads like this are ridiculous,its like some of you guys dont want the fight to ever come off.

DSG has fought much harder opponents than Crawford at the weight also. Khan? DSG did that when Khan was the man to beat at 140. Thurman, Porter and now Spence. All 3 of those fighters would be undefeated if they went through Crawford’s poor resume. DSG would likely look so much better in Top Rank. One thing TR knows very well is cherrypicking towards their fighter’s strength. It’s very possible that DSG would’ve been a bigger name in TR. Outside of the title shots, no he hasn’t. The title shots that Crawford has been asking for but Spence has to go through this list of names first supposedly.

Atleast Crawford has beaten top 10 fighter’s at the weight though. Unlike Danny. Been saying for ages, the Benavidez Crawford fought would have schooled Garcia. People act like because a guy doesn’t have the resume, he doesn’t have the skills. What Garcia has done at welter is compete with the champs, but between that he’s been fighting nobodies. Even Josesito competed with Thurman nearly KO’ing him. And in between that Josesito is also beating the bums he’s fighting inbetween.

Can you blame him? He’s in Top Rank, that’s their specialty. People talk crap about PBC but the top welterweights at PBC all fight eachother. Meanwhile Crawford’s top 10 WW wins were Horn and Kavaliouskas. Some fans say Spence looked bad and TC will beat him but ignore that Spence was coming off a layoff, fighting a top 5 WW, and Crawford was hurt and unofficially knocked down by Kavaliouskas. DSG never came close to hurting Spence. Crawford’s next fight will likely be another lower tier top 10 WW like Mikey Garcia or Lemony Snicket, I mean Sergey Lipinets. Or we might see him again vs another WW that used to be top 10 but no longer but has had a “string” of (meaningless) wins and therefore those meaningless wins will make that WW better than when he was an actual top 10 WW to some fans. Seriously this **** can’t be made up!
