    I disagree, they're too far apart for either fight to make sense, and there's still plenty of work for them to do at or near their weight classes.

    And you're doing fighter's a huge disservice by not considering where they started, which has a lot to do with their own bodyweight, and appreciating the weight of their accomplishments.
    And the bold is what I'm saying.

    Crawford is the champ. He needs to fight his mandatories. And it's disgusting seeing quite a few members of NSB excuse Crawford not wanting to fight his mandatory JUST because it's Boots.

    If this were Vergil "My Body's Done" Ortiz, NSB would call Crawford a ducker straight up.

      But he just fought the top guy in the division. There is not some unfinished business for him at 147. Boots would be a considerably lesser fighter than Spence at this point in his career - both in competition and notoriety.

      And he's not avoiding Boots just because it's Boots as you say. He already said he was moving up to 154 for Charlo and to collect the belts their because it was hard for him to make 147. Meaning he's going to relinquish the titles, like he did at 140.

      Yes I know you think it's bad if he stays to fight Tank, which he hasn't done yet although you're acting like he has. But do you agree that if he moves up to fight Tzu or Charlo after unfinished business with Spence, that this is a good thing? Or should he kill himself at 147 to fight a less proven and likely easier to beat fighter than those two?

      And if Virgil Ortiz just beat Spence just as badly as Crawford and was moving up to 154 due to trouble making 147, I don't see why expectations would be any different for him. I think people want to see Boots fight Ortiz because they're both at similar points in their career and are ready for step up fights.

      You're comparing Ortiz to Crawford as if Crawford just got to 147 and never had a world title. For your comparison to be accurate, you'd have to treat Ortiz like he's at the end of his career, beat all the top contenders and then is moving up in weight. Who are all these fighters doing this that are getting heavily criticized for not fighting their mandatories? You should one of those fighters for your analogy instead.

        TS is probably a huge Tank fan and protector. He's worried. You're right, common sense tells us Davis vs Crawford will never happen. It's mere fantasy morphed by silly Youtubers asking silly questions about fights they knew will never happen. This is nothing new. There are hundreds of these fantasy cases.

          No, you misunderstood.

          I mean, if Ortiz was the mandatory instead of Boots, NSB would be calling Crawford a ducker for not fighting him. BECAUSE it's not Boots.

            It's just a comparison to show how both are rather ridiculous
