That's a thought. Crawford face Conor Benn next, let Spence fight Keef at 154.

    Nope, I wasn't on that doctor video thread. Mixed me with someone else.

    I was the one that shared that social media dug up the interview from Spence saying his doctor said due to his retina tear he shouldn't fight again, and that was 2021. But I said I didn't necessarily buy that, because he fought and beat Ugas.

    I want Spence to fight again if he can. I'm just saying, I'm supporting him taking a tune-up before rematching Crawford at 154, so Crawford needs a dance partner, and Conor Benn wants to "tear someone's head off" - so let's see if he can do that against the version of Crawford we just saw. That would be a tune-up for Crawford.

    NSB wants to throw the guy right into the lion's den with Charlo, Boots, etc. Really?
    Alright I was just checking to be sure.

    The perfect dance partner for Crawford is Ennis. Benn is nothing more than a domestic level fighter who's best win is a retired journeyman that would be child's play for Crawford.

    Terence should be targeting Ennis and Mell.

      Uh, NO... Why should Benn get a big fight exactly?

        Spence won't risk another loss to anyone but Crawford. He'll lick and heal his wounds, come back at 154 for rematch with Crawford. It will likely be in 2024.

          Why exactly should Crawford skip a tune-up?


          Isn't that exactly what both Cryan and Spence were being criticized for prior to their recent fights?

            He already used his tune-up on Spence.

              what about adrian granados, josef zahradnik, cedric peynaud (twice), ross jameson, and luke keleher? is it because they don't have a manbun? i don't think formella does either, he has the hitler youth cut in every picture i've seen

                hes already tuned up, id say boots is the guy to face, why not, hes young fresh looking good, as much as i think teo is a crazy guy he was early 20's targeting big fights and backing himself

                im not sure what type of guarantee crawford would want tho, could be a deal breaker, he would need to be reasonable, the fight could do great i think if marketed right, it would certainly bring a level of excitement with the uncertainty about boots and what he 'could' do, he surely puts up a better fight than spence

                  **** Benn. As much as I'd love to see Crawford knock him out, Benn doesn't deserve a Crawford fight in the slightest.
