Comments Thread For: Crawford: Spence Fight Has Been Talked About For Years, Sometimes You Just Let Those Fights Pass You By

A former undisputed champ forgotten? Youre funny. He goes down in history and is a hall of famer just for that fact alone! Yall haters are weird af.

That undisputed status was given to him. Out of those 4 belts, guess how many champions he fought? One.

Indongo accomplished more at 140 than fraudford did. Went to the backyard of 2 championship title holders and walked away with their belt.

Fraudford? Vacant belt after vacant belt.

Thanks.

Neither one is a world champion till we know who the best in the world, in this division is. A real champion would be pushing to show who is the best and not be afraid of proving that he is, especially if it would reap him his biggest paydays.

These two are my favorite boxers. But they killed the ww division

Postol wasn't a champion? Go check again. Maybe you forgot.

Joke division, thanks to promoters, and fighters that are either too amenable or comfortable cruising to relentlessly demand top competition.

As I said the other day, check SMW’s free agent: 12 months, 4 fights, 3 unifications, NO PROMOTERS.

Another classic case of, PBC fighter wants the fight. PBC supremo says he'll try and make the fight. PBC supremo does nothing to try to make the fight. PBC supremo then tells PBC fighter he tried to make the fight and they didn't want it.

This may or may not be true, but all I reckon is that this occurs to varying extents with all of boxing’s big middlemen, and PBC have made cross promotion fights before, no problem.

Call it what you want, but facts are facts. He was undisputed at 140lbs. 1 of only 6 or 7 ever in the history of the sport.

Those cross promotions are always ordered fights, mandatories etc. It's just my opinion of course but Al Haymon doesn't like putting his belts on the line. He's all about in-house. Sure, if all parties really wanted it done, then yes I'm sure they could get it done, and I don't doubt the willingness of the fighters. But someone is stopping that fight happening, and its not the fighters imo. I'm sure if Crawford went to PBC that fight gets made instantly. Once again it's the fans who lose out.

In a few years Crawford will retire with no big fights under his belt and be quickly forgotten by all but hardcore boxing fans. Legacy is just as much about moments you create and he has non.

And Spence? Seeing as this thread is about the both of them? What greats has Spence fought? Which one of them is a 3 weight world champion and an undisputed world champion?

It seems alot of ppl want to trash Crawford all they can and say nothing about Spence who has done hardly anything compared to Crawford career wise.
