Disagree, Danny Garcia is a pretty damned good fighter and Spence dominated him better than any other opponent Garcia has fought. Remember that list included Porter and Thurman.
Garcia has lost all of his big fights at WW. His fight with Thurman shouldn't have been that close on the cards(though I picked Garcia to win by ko) and Porter just bullied him. That was nothing more than a tune up fight
i agree, but we don't know what Spence has left after that accident. The Garcia fight showed us nothing!!!

Different class of fighters. Ugas is no soft touch but straight up not on Spences level.

Ridiculous post. How did your hero Canelo become a ppv star? He took the short money vs Floyd and established himself. Is it too much to expect Crawford to do the same?
Sure did..........

What I'm hearing is they don't want to make the fight. GOD forbid they actually get off their behinds and promote this like they should so money is made and everyoneis happy. That goes for Crawford too, just giving PBC an out to move on
Protecting Black Champs/Chumps
They won't make Crawford/Spence because it won't sell or people don't know who Crawford is, but are crying about Canelo not taking on Charla or Benavidez for almost the same reason.
Hypocrites.

Seems clear here this fight will never happen.
So why are people still talking about this fight?
Yup, I highly doubt this fight ever happens. Even if Bud signs with PBC, Spence is going to move up to 154, after he beats Ugas, and effectively, killing the fight.
Crawford can't move up to 154 because 147 is his limit.
Crawford is a narcissistic diva and thinks he is worth more than he really deserves. He doesn't draw, his resume at welterweight is pretty mediocre and he holds the worst belt. If Crawford would take a reasonable split that he actually deserves I'm sure the fight could get made after Spence vs Ugas. Crawford should fight a top welterweight in the meantime instead of cherry picking easy fights. Build his stock up a little.
Canelo is fighting the toughest option with Bivol. Bivol isn't a draw but he is a legit champion in a weight class above Canelo's. Bumavidez fights bums and faded guys. He didn't look that good against most of no hopers he fought. He is no draw, has no belts, he misses weight and does coke. Charlo beat only a few decent guys. He should give Korobov a rematch before attempting to get beat down by Canelo. Charlo is not really a draw and has no belts to offer at a weight Canelo would fight him at. He also has a criminal case pending. At least there is a rivalry between GGG and Canelo. Plus they draw good together. Canelo made the better choice.
You are correct.
Don't know why these youtubers keep asking Spence about Crawford. Why not Haymon or his PBC reps? Spence can't even help. He's the main roadblock himself because he's obviously expecting gargantuan amounts of money for the fight, which is silly when they admit Crawford is no PPV material.

Hypocrites.
So when this PBC exec was asked why the fight can't happen he quickly said, "Economics."
Then he went on to say Crawford doesn't do well on PPVs, things of that nature.
So why is this so complicated for people to understand? He's saying Crawford doesn't have something that is beyond his control.
It doesn't have anything to do with his boxing ability or anything that relates to boxing. He's simply not a PPV material. End of story.
