    whys there no pressure on crawford to fight spence?

    A lot of people crying and moaning about thurman not fighting spence this year after a long period out of the ring following surgery. Yet i dont hear anyone calling for a fight between spence and crawford?

    How long does it take to get used to 147? If its late in the year he will have had over a year to prepare considering he fought in august 2017 last, with a nice straight forward warm up fight against horn to introduce himself to the division with.

    The guys supposedly pound for pound number 1, surely with his skills and with over a year of preparing for 147 he should be good to go at the end of 2018?

    I cant imagine there will be a huge surge in either guys popularity if the fight is allowed to 'marinate' either. So will crawford be a coward too if he doesnt accept the fight? Or is it only thurman who has to fight spence?

    Because that fight is A LOT tougher to make due to politics

        Crawford hasn't fought a single fight at 147 yet. Asking him to take on the boogeyman of the division he has not fought in yet is unfair to him. Next spring, sure.

          he will have done by the end of the year and hes pound for pound number 1 in many peoples eyes. I dont see how asking him to have a difficult fight at the end of the year is that much to ask. He will have had over 12 months to transition to fighting people a little bit heavier.

            It’s common sense, there are NO POLITICS standing in the way of Thurman-Spence. There are A LOT of POLITICS standing in the way of Crawford-Spence.

                What was the point in crawford moving up in weight then? To not be able to fight Thurman or Spence Cause of politics?

                  funny when asked why spence vs crawford is not being talked about, posters aka floyd fans says its because of politics. yet they make comments like pac is ducking spence, thurman, etc.

                    Call me cynical but I think posters want two fighters to brag about being undefeated instead of one losing.
