    Is Spence officially washed up

    What’s everyone’s opinion?

    Do y’all still think he’s this wrecking ball of a fighter or is he washed up.

    IMO he squandered away his potential for megastar status, and yes getting in that accident is squandering it away because of his alcoholism.

    If Crawford gets past Porter in impressive fashion is a matchup with Spence y’all still clamor for.

    How about we wait until someone beats him before we say that?

      I only know that his mystique is gone.

        Well if he can only complete a training camp without getting hurt.

        His mega fight opportunities are washed up. He’ll get the stepping stone treatment for guys like Boots and Virgil. He ain’t trying to fight Crawford

          He still has plenty left in the tank. Spence vs Crawford is a must see event if Bud beats Porter

              How about we steer the conversation into who is he fighting next?

                His main opponent he needs to beat if he wants to save his career is alcoholism.

                  Well, I think he's a fun fighter to watch so I hope he can get it under control because it's a hell of a problem to be cursed with. I've cast judgment on him before in the past, but it was hypocritical of me since I used to be a horrendous drunk and was lucky to have never hurt anyone.

                  Anyway...

                  If Porter beats Crawford. Does he have to do it again to get a Spence rematch?

                  If Crawford wins, does that fight finally get made?

                  Admittedly I'm pretty **** with all the ABC rules, the business side, and matchmaking aspects of boxing.

                    if PBC thinks he's still salvageable, they'll give him a tune up fight. If they think he's damaged goods, they might cash him out against Crawford (if he gets past Porter), that's what I think.
