Crawford beats Spence and so does Thurman

I agree that crawford beats spence but im not so sure about thurman. Porter who is a come forward brawler with not the best defense gave him a tough close fight and collazo hurt him bad with a body shot. Thurman is well rounded but I think Spence is too big and powerful. Crawford Spence will be the best fight at 147.

Mikey and Chavez aren’t running from anybody but bad contracts. Arum ALWAYS says “we are looking at A fighter, B fighter”, but he matches them with C or D, bringing them from a different weight class if needed...And Loma is in a league of his own. I believe he specifically TELLS top rank who he is going to fight and on a side note why he should get more respect. Everyone else wants to negotiate Loma says line’em up.

I'd rather see Spence vs Thurman or hell even Spence vs Porter first. Respect to Crawford as he eventually greatly impressed me at 140, but the reality is he's a name without much of a resume once he's legit fighting at 147. He needs to fight Horn. He needs to fight another name or two guy. He needs to fight Manny ideally.

Then when Spence & Crawford have ideally beaten Thurman + Manny in another 12 months we got a PPV unification fight. But between now & then we got a fight cuz idk that thats a PPV that does anything anyone is THAT happy about til then. They might get 500k-1M buys if they are Thurman & Manny approved when they reach a PPV fight. Hell maybe I'm underselling Spence's PPV debut or maybe they dabble Spence in some PPV's & he gets some numbers to go with Crawford's PPV experience & it legit bounces them over 1M.

Tbf Porter give everyone a problem because of his style and how rough he is. I thought Thurman handled him pretty well under the circumstances, he showed great movement and counter-punching in that fight.

Spence doesnt have that bum-rush style of Porter but he does hit a lot harder. Its an intriguing fight because Spence is a big guy at the weight and is a very good body puncher (something Thurman seems to hate). I just wonder how Spence will be able to deal with Thurman's movement and counter-punching because Thurman also hits pretty hard.

LOL no doubt. Arum is a PRO with hyping his guys via mentioning them in the context of ATG fighters or current top guys or highly considered guys. I bet someone could cut together a lil youtube montage of him hyping up about 7 or 8 different guys by saying the exact same thing about them in comparison with Ali's greatness or some other big trait of a great fighter.

Thats some math equation provable sh^t damn near to increase your fighters profile. Take a fighter with a 70 Q rating, talk about him fighting a fighter with a 80 Q rating. Now the first fighter has a 75 Q rating. More promoters should be hi******* that move. It works.

Haha he’s a pioneer. He’s been doing this a long time, he wrote the book. He’s basically The Bernie madoff of boxing. He wrote the book while scamming us all

You dirty old bastard. It would've been a big ppv fight if you made the Crawford PAC matchup fans were screaming for for years but you refused and set him up against an Aussie bum instead.

If you wanted tc to be your Ppv star you should have made that match up.
