Comments Thread For: Kenny Porter: I Can See Ennis Beating Crawford, Spence is Tougher Fight

[Oregonian]

But you are a breathless Spence man fan, and it's reflected in how you constantly make excuses for his cowardice. Here are only a handful of excuses offered to up your hero to continually duck Crawford:

1. Come to 147 and we can fight.
2. Get a belt at 147, then we can fight.
3. Fight Shawn Porter first, then we can fight.
4. Leave Bob Arum, then we can fight.
5. Let me clean up my side of the street first, then we can fight.
6. Blame Bob. [Oh wait...that no longer applies.]
7. You need to humble yourself and accept 35% or whatever we give you, then we can fight.

And you Spence man fans pretend he never said these things.

Spence was actually in much worse shape after the Porter fight than Shawn was. If Porter was so degraded as y'all claim, why did y'all push for him to face a killer like Crawford. The level of denial, delusion and hypocrisy is off the charts. The fact of the matter is that Porter had only one fight after the razor-close Spence loss, and that was in August 2020 against Sebastian Formella, basically a shake-the-rust affair, so no, Shawn hasn't had a series of brutal wars as you claim. Try again, clown. This time, get your receipts in order.

Crawford has stated he will fight three times in 2023. Which three guys do you think Crawford should go after?

Boots or Ortiz Jr., Jermell, Prograis if he moves up. Spence is not fighting him. Limited options for Bud. That's why he jumped on the Avanesyan fight.

Nope, he could have gone straight for Boots but he chose the easier fight.
But not to digress into that, I assure you Crawford will fight someone else before he fights Boots.
Just keep in mind, neither he nor Boots have any fight slated so there is virtually no reason for that fight not to happen.

Boots is not the WBO mandatory. Boots is the IBF mandatory. But Earl is about straps, which is why he's now trying to fight a guy he said he'd never fight at a weight where no straps will be at stake. Makes a lotta sense...

Spence is my guy and I have zero qualms calling his fight with Thurman a joke of a fight. It is a ****** unnecessary fight and clearly Spence wants no part of Boots either.

If only Crawford’s fans could be honest too about their guy fighting jokers like Khan, Brook, Avanesyan etc.

Mandatories can be overlooked when it comes to unification fights or huge compelling fights. Guys can be paid step-aside money. We’ve seen this happen all the time.

But it’s 2023 and Crawford is on record saying he will fight 3 times this year. So it’s either Boots, Ortiz and Spence OR he can fights Broner, Ugas and some undefeated guy from Zimbabwe.

Crawford and Ennis are both available to fight, yet no one is making any move to make the fight. It's the perfect time to make the fight. Winner gets Spence. WBO won't make any move to order the fight. Makes your head shake uncontrollably. It's a frustrating sport.

The amount of delusion you Spence man fans exhibit is simply amazing. You seem to forget all the Spence man fans screaming at the top of their lungs that Crawford was ducking Shawn. For months and months. After Bud flattened his tires in 10, the narrative changed to "Porter was washed up" and " Shawn was semi-retired". You can't have it both ways. Porter was a formidable enough welterweight for y'all to claim Crawford was ducking him. Y'all move the damn goalposts more than stadium grounds crews.

Spence got staggered by 77 year pillow-fisted Ugas. The ropes stopped him from going down. It should have been ruled a knockdown. How the Hell is he going to stand up to Bud's power if Ugas was able to drop him? I see why Al is doing everything to keep him in Witness Protection.

Spot on lmao. Aged well too!!!
