Spence is doing all the lifting?

[STREET CLEANER]

I’m a Spence fan but he doesn’t want the smoke IMO. I think the way Crawford dominated Porter had him a little shook tbh.

He stopped Porter but that performance was far from dominating.

[brettWall]

Just shows he's never really interested in the fight. It's not about being on the wrong side of the street after all as Crawford is now on free agent status. Fans need to stop talking about this fight for now. Call me when actual negotiations started.

[DaNeutral.]

Ridiculous. Your opinion is driven solely by your dislike for PBC. If Crawford had them all scared, then why resign with TR?

I agree that Crawford is one of the best boxers in the planet. That makes his decision to resign even more questionable.

He had an opportunity to prove that but chose money. Stop blaming pbc and Spence for that choice.

Spence unifying with Ugas isn’t ducking Crawford. He’s taking in Ugas in his return fight from injury. Ugas is better than any ww Crawford fought outside of Porter- a guy many on this site feel beat Porter when they fought despite Porter getting the win.

Lets see where Crawford signs. If he chooses anywhere but PBC then it’s clear he isn’t trying to show he’s the best ww but instead fight easy guys for big money While complaining in the media about being ducked.

Sadly, that strategy works because there is a legion of “fans” who are part of the “ fear of a black manager” brigade who blame all fights that don’t happen on the Haymon affiliated boxer regardless of the facts.

Its like when Tim signed with TR. clear sign he didn’t want to fight the best ww in the world.

I think Crawford is already widely seen as the best Welterweight.

I think Crawford is already widely seen as the best Welterweight.

He is on NSB by the “fear of a black manager” brigade primarily because he isn’t with pbc.

A rational comparison of who they fought and defeated at 147 shows Spence has earned the #1 ranking at ww, even though I and others have. Crawford ranked higher p4p.

I agree that Spence is shook, but Crawford did not dominate Porter. Was close, and you can argue Porter had the edge before the knockout.

Spence begged daddy to pay the wba to make the ugas fight. He was cornered after the wba made their lil wba ww tournament. The crawford fight couldve been made then and there. Gilbertico got his pockets lined and salad tossed by Haymon and now we have Spence duckin a free agent in Crawford once again. Yall pbc pole smokers are hilariously gross.

I'm a Bud fan, but he don't want that smoke. He resigned with Top Rank in 2018 knowing it would make it harder for him to get fights against the top welterweights.

Fear of a black manager brigade? Nobody cares what colour Al Haymon is. Al Haymon is a dirty piece of chit but if he was any other colour I'd be saying the exact same thing, just like many African Americans also say about him.

You really need to get this racial chip off your shoulder. Nobody denies that racism is still prevalent in the world or in any sport but you have a nasty habit of seeing racism where there isn't racism.

Yes Spence does. He's doing just as he promised by cleaning up his side of the street. I just wonder what is taking Bud Crawford so long for signing up with the PBC? The more the fight marinates the bigger it would get. If Spence gets past Ugas then the Terence Crawford fight would be for the undisputed welterweight crown. I believe that both fighters will move up to 154 next year after that fight happens.

I’d be rooting for Spence if it ever happens but I’ve got to call it as I see it. I don’t think Spence fancies it.

Only one man was ever winning that fight, Porter was competitive in spots but he was consistently walking onto shots.
