If they fight in december thats around 16 months to have been prepared to carry a few more pounds. And to people saying 'he hasnt fought at 147 yet' im well aware of that hence why i said at the end of the year.
        He's with top rank you really think the fight will be made?

        Loma vs Crawford would be easier to make

        You always cried that Crawford needs to move up to 147. Now he has and you're still crying. Your threads are so pointless and agenda is always obvious

          More like Bob protecting Bob.

          Personally, I think Spence is too big for Crawford so I'm not really interested in seeing that fight.

            Probably because long time champion Thurman has been saying no to Spence's constant call outs for years now while Crawford just arrived at 147 and is not yet a champion. Also Thurman and Spence are Haymon fighters so the fight could be made anytime both men want it to be made. Crawford is with Arum so him fighting Spence is much harder to put together. Crawford already has a fight with Horn that should make him a world champion. I think Spence can KO both Crawford and Thurman. I think Crawford would beat Thurman and would have a better chance to beat Spence than Thurman would.

              I wouldnt have bothered moaning about him moving to 147 if he wasnt going to fight the top guys there, he may aswell have stayed at 140 and fought the chumps there. How can you be p4p number 1 yet not put yourself in a position to fight the two top guys in the division? If theres a will theres a way, if he wanted them fights he could get them. People act like fighters have no free will or something, he choose to be with arum, he should be held accountable for his actions as a resut of it. Not just for crawford but i think some of these 'in house' fights suit the fighters just as much as the promoter, its a nice excuse not to have to fight dangerous fights, allow the promoter to catch the flak.

                I'd like to see Terence get a fight in at 147 first. Once he relieves Jeff horn of his belt then he's be fair game to all the top dogs at the weight, ideally spence or thurman.

                  because he hasn't yet officially fought at welterweight yet and everyone knows the promotional/network situation that makes it almost impossible to happen anytime soon. Spence vs Thurman is the fight that makes the most sense and should happen now. Both in the same adviser/promotional stable fight on the same network been linked to each other for a long time now. Arum is feeding the 1 belt he controls to Crawford and then will be fighting mostly in house guys for the foreseeable future on ESPN. At best if both Crawford and Spence keep winning and Spence doesn't get to big for the weight this fight happens in 2 years no earlier.

                    Nothing you say can hide your extreme bias. You hate on everything Crawford does. You didn't complain when gg wants to be undisputed (still isn't) but did when Crawford did it

                    Crawford prob will wanna be undisputed again. Well he's getting the wbo first

                    Stop crying

                      yeah thats what im saying, get the horn fight out of the way first. Then hes a 'champion' and he shoudnt need protecting from anyone.
