    Good point!

      And as BoxingScene told you, IBF doesn’t care about rematch clauses.

      Crawford could have agreed to fight Boots after the Spence rematch, instead of chasing lightweights and super middleweights.

      Crawford could have vacated.

      He didn’t do anything, so they rightfully took action.

      You can hate the facts all you care to. Doesn’t change the facts.

        Why would Crawford even entertain this fight though? He has much more lucrative options in Charlo, Spence again and even Canelo. Makes no sense business wise.

        I agree Boots ain’t ready anyway. Crawford would do to him what Tito did to Vargas.

          Why can't the best just fight the best?
          All these supposed P4Ps and that just avoid all the threats in their divisions and jump up to cash out in mismatches or jump up and collect titles from weak af belt holders rather than growing a pair of boll0cks and fighting top, prime opposition.

          All they want to do is collect belts from bums, nobody wants to do it the hard way like Usyk did and become a great at their weight anymore.

          Nobody is paying to see a see a Spence rematch, nobody gives a hell about Charlo either especially after that pathetic performance and Canelo would just be him cashing out.

          Prove you're the best at your weight then jump up.

            Crawford hasn’t already proven he’s the best at 147?

              Why by beating a post car crash, brain damaged Spence? Who shouldn't even be medically cleared.

                By being the undisputed champion.

                You really don’t believe Crawford has proven himself as the best at 147? GTFOH.

                  A cherrypicker. You all know it as well just a minority picked Spence and ignored a dozen warnings signs he was shot to bits leaving them with egg on their faces. Now you have this unbearable overhyping and justifying cowardice.

                  The best WW yet​ didn't fight Boots, didn't fight Ortiz or Stanionis. All three of which would have absolutely wrecked that crippled version of Spence.

                  There is a real reason why he won't fight Boots and why his fans justified it from the second he beat Spence.

                    You must’ve made a tonne of money betting on Crawford by KO if you knew Spence was so “damaged”, post your slip too.

                    You’re so full of sh** man.

                      Too many questions about Spence going into this one for me. I'm not trying to discredit Crawford I just have no real idea where Spence is at.
                      The inactivity, the injuries, can he even still make the weight and safely?

                      Spence has slightly better fundamentals and the engine but many felt that about Postol and look how easy that turned out to be.
                      For me Crawfords got the better ring I.Q, defence, athleticism, a little more spite, I have to favour him, possibly by stoppage.
                      There are a few tendencies I see in Spence also, I've seen several lesser fighters exploit. I've seen him get clipped a bag of times with the same shot throughout his career and it just so happens to be a trademark counter of Crawfords.
                      ​I'm sure there are many others but I have too many posts on here even using the search functions proving a headache.

                      I stay away from betting these days, its not like it used to be but I picked Crawford.

                      To be honest he was even worse than I could have ever expected even if I did have major concerns.

                      Its like Sergio vs Cotto which I was **** wrong about. Sometime you just don't know until a fighters in there.
