Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter: "I Honestly Expect Crawford And Spence To Fight At 154 Pounds"

[Bronx2245]

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.

Crawford, Ennis, Ortiz, Stanionis, Ugas, Crowley, Rocha, Benn, Butaev, Ellis, Villa, Cobbs, Mean Machine, McKinson, Avanesyan.

I don't expect Crawford to stay at 147 either! He wants Spence and Charlo! Then again he wants "transparency," so he probably won't fight them either! Maybe we get Crawford vs. Ennis @ 147? I'll buy that in a heartbeat!

I'm not losing sleep over Crawford/Spence. I'll believe it when I see them walking to the ring.

Crawford/Rocha and Ortiz/Stanionis, winners face off. Ennis/Crowley and Butaev/Villa, winners face off.

Sorry Shawn, but in this case, the belts do matter. Neither Bud nor Spence are Floyd or Manny. Shame Al ran out of hedge fund money in 2022 and had to be a weasel and push this fight to 2023. Crawford did the right thing getting a fight in before the end of the year.

I won't hold my breath for an "Undisputed" Champ @ 147. I just want to see Eniis vs. Ortiz Jr.!

This fight has already lost importance as it should have been made 3 years ago when Spence was still in his prime

[-MEGA-]

Porter said this awhile ago.

And if the both move to 154 I doubt they will be fighting each other until one or both of them have a belt there. This fight wont be happening this year......


Disappointing

Sadly, I doubt that this fight will ever happen. These guys today lack the mentality of Leonard, Hearns, Duran, etc. They seem to only care about making safe money and keeping their "0"s. Their legacies will suffer. I don't consider Bowe that highly since he ducked Lewis. I also don't consider Sanchez that highly since he ducked Pedroza. And I won't consider either of these guys that highly since they're ducking each other. And yes, Sanchez was ducking Pedroza. I was a fan back then and I remember, so no one need try to tell me that he wasn't.

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!

Yes, it looks that way doesn't it. If Spence feels good at 154 then he isn't coming back down to 147. Just the way things go.

He'll feel alot better at 154, i'm sure about that! I'm sure Boots and Vergil will feel better at 154 too! Vergil already had "Rhabdo" making 147. Boots will probably be at 160 in 5 years!

It’s obvious the guy who wrote this article is one of Crawford’s personal fluffers
