When Leonard fought Hearns they were both in their prime. By the time Crawford fights Spence they will be in their 40s.Comment

I actually disagree with Shawn for THIS fight.
For MayPac, the belts didn't matter. In fact, most can't even recall which specific belts were actually defended without looking it up...because they didn't matter.
With these two, only hardcores really care about the guys fighting. The unification is what made it significant, just like with Haney and Kambosos.
When Crawford ducked this, he knew that Spence was having trouble making the weight.
Put the pieces together, people.Comment

Shawn Porter: "I Honestly Expect Crawford And Spence To Fight At 154 Pounds"
Porter is such a 'cheer-leader' it is after awhile most irritating.
He was saying the exact same thing about those two fighting at welter weight.
And, if they some how made a contract to fight tomorrow he'd be saying, "I knew it, I told you so."
If he knew so much he'd still be boxing, or he would have raised higher on the occasions that he should have.
Mostly, every one has an opinion just like every one mostly has ask-holes and elbows.Comment

It won't be the first (or last) time that boxing wastes a golden opportunity, but the situation is still salvageable. Above all, I would like to see an undisputed champion. If Spence and Thurman moving up makes things simpler, then so be it.I agree with Porter. Spence walks around at 175-180. Now he's coming off a long layoff, and fighting Thgurman @ 154 in April. I can't see him coming back down to 147! I'm just hoping to see Boots vs. Ortiz Jr. in 2023! Spence and Crawford have totally disappointed me, especially Crawford! What a wasted opportunity, to see them fight for "Undisputed" @ 147!
Crawford, Ennis, Ortiz, Stanionis, Ugas, Crowley, Rocha, Benn, Butaev, Ellis, Villa, Cobbs, Mean Machine, McKinson, Avanesyan.Comment

That might be better actually, at 154 lbs, because I think Errol struggles to make welterweight.
The fans don't care if there are many belts on the line or not, as long as they see two of the best against each other. Superfights like in the old days, that's what fans want.Comment
