Comments Thread For: Spence On Avoiding Tuneups: "It Shouldn't Take Another Fight For Me To Be Sharp and On Point"

Not a lie. Spencer was gonna fight Thurman at 154 but the boxing world talked shlt and they had to pull back and beg Crawford to come back to the table and negotiate some more. The fight shoulda been done for November but Spencer and haymon kept wasting his time so Crawford did the smart thing and fought someone else

Lol, myths, he was never going to fight Thurman. He was using the intentions to fight as a means of biding time from the sanctioning bodies, so that he could keep the belts instead of being stripped, so that the fight would still be for undisputed after negotiations were finalized. Bud saw a way of getting paid for beating lesser competition, which is his pattern of choosing fights, and took it.

He was definitely gonna fight Thurman lmfao you think haymon was gonna pass on making an in house ppv? Delusional, they got caught and people hated it. That simple

It's not fans or anyone's fault you people are taking too much time off. You should never have privilege of being accorded time-wasting tuneups and the added reward of having instant excuse when you struggle or lose in your fights.

You should be penalized, instead, by paying fines.

If I made the rules the champ would have to fight every 6 months or lose the title hurt or not. Come back and try again against the new champ when you can fight.

So this guy has only fought twice in 3 years smh. This guy is almost irrelevant. It's a shame the bodies let him hold onto his belts for so long when there's plenty of hungry fighters out there .

How many times has Bud fought in 3 years?

Meanwhile, Crawford broke his inactivity and made $$$ against a live, ranked contender. Its been almost six months and he's due to get back to work. Spence? Too busy staying mostly silent and pointing fingers, to say nothing about closing in on 14 months of zzzzzz......

Spence fought for and won ANOTHER championship belt last April, immediately after, demanding the fight for the final strap from Crawford. Meanwhile Crawford is holding the same WBO belt that he won from JEFF FXCKING HORN years ago hostage and hadn't fought since November 2021. But, instead of fighting Spence for undisputed, did his usual movements, found a body for a bag of cash. Its pitiful that people even respect that type of shxt.

Spence's only reason for being inactive since April is because, unlike Bud, undisputed and his legacy means more than fooling the people by getting overpaid for light duty work. He's stated he wants the Crawford fight or he's going to move up, but he wanted to exhaust all of his means of making the fight before moving on. He's stood firm on that, but at this point, he may have to accept that Bud doesn't want to fight him.

Fighters can lose their titles just for not making weight. But God forbid stripping them if they dont fight for over a year or more. Which is more disrespectful?

[Boxfan83]

Respect to Errol if he fights Terrance coming off a layoff but I will still watch from my firestick.

Meanwhile, boxing fans are still begging for the fight. These guys are worse than our politicians.

How many times has Crawford fought the last three years?
How many times was Floyd fighting a year?
The same question can be asked if all the top boxers. Why pick on Spence? Hate?

Crawford also “broke his inactivity” by fighting Khan and Brook. Both washed out and irrelevant at 147.
Next, Bud will be fighting Broner or Brandon Rios and you’ll be saying the same thing.
