    I have to admit:

    “Troy who? Come on man.”
    I had the exact same reaction.

      So timing no longer matters? Bud fought them much later in their careers?

      To be clear, both of their recent history shows Bud should be favored but be real, when they actually fought similar opponents…..favors Spence.

        Bud has beaten 9 champion/former champ, 7 for Spence

        Bud has beaten 2x more undefeated fighters than Spence​

          Crawford’s 140 run, other than Postol, was really bad.

          Dulorme for the vacant title. He’d already been KO’ed before.

          Postol was a good win.

          Indongo for the other two belts, this man was knocked out 6 times.

          Then Horn for 147 WBO. Horn had just got his ass kicked by Pacquiao, almost got stopped by the ref, but escaped with a robbery.

          Then his non title fights at 147 speak for themselves. Porter was good. But Brook, Khan, Kavaliouskas, Avenseysian.

          Crawford’s post-135 resume is ass. Aside from Postol and Porter. Just a whack resume, that’s why he can’t sell PPV’s, because the general public or even hardcore fans aren’t interested in TR’s matchmaking.

          You know damn well when you sell 25k PPV’s, not even hardcore fans are thrilled about your opposition. Probably 25k people from Omaha.

              We are not talking about numbers or accomplishments buddy we are talking about resume. Baring Porter which is a quality win regardless of the fact he was due to announce his retirement. I do not rate Jeff Horn, Amir Khan , David Aveneseyan as quality opponents or maybe they are but you can’t sit there and tell me If Spence fought the same opponents he would not have knocked them out?

                  Fair point, and not taking anything away from the high level skill of Crawford, who may have more than a bit of greatness, perhaps.

                  Spence could say that Crawford beat Brook and Porter after he already did, therefore beating less prime versions, arguably.

                    Lol at people are trashing Crawford's resume. He collected every belt he fought for and moved up in weight to fight for more. He'll beat Spence and your excuse will be - Spence was broken after the car accident. Haters will be hating no matter what

                      I prefer the fighters who are willing to be respectful, personally. These clowns are trying to say that this is a legacy defining fight on the one hand, but that their opponent is trash with a trash resume on the other. Spence is being especially dense about it. Spend the pre fight talking about how good Bud is, and how great his resume is, so it will mean something when you beat him, and vice versa. If you gotta beef, disrespect the guy but not his accomplishments. If it's going to mean something on your resume, they have to be a worthy opponent.
                      You must not have watched the press conferences and seen how many times Spence said how great of a fighter Crawford is, and how much respect he has for him. He also said, but when the bell rings, all of that goes out of the window and he's going to break him.
