Thurman is a unified champ...Crawford has 0 fights at 147
Both Spence and Crawford call out Thurman but not each other

Spence has been calling out Thurman for years. Thurman has two tittle belts and wins over Porter and Garcia. He is the Man to beat. As Spence says Crawford has done nothing at welterweight yet and is set to fight Horn so why not wait for Crawford to take Horn's title and then call him out? Crawford probably calls out Thurman rather than Spence because Spence is a better, more dangerous opponent than Thurman.Comment

Crawford won't fight either of them until 2020. I think everyone in the division sees Thurman as the wanted man, but they have both acknowledged that a bout between them will happen.Comment

Politics are the down side. But maybe they each see Keef sitting with both the green and black straps. Spence knows if he gets it then his fight with Thurman is sooner rather than later. It would definitely be a much larger fightSpence: "Thurman is the guy I want, we haven't seen how Crawford looks at 147 yet...."
Crawford: "I want Keith Thurman, he's the #1 guy at 147 not Errol Spence, the eye test can lie to you"
Both of these guys calling out Thurman, but avoiding each others names.
I wonder why?Comment

Thurman is the man to beat. If either Spence or Crawford beat Thurman they'll have to to fight each other at some point. If Spence beats him first (which I assume he'll get the first shot) Crawford has to face him to have any credibility as a P4P great.Comment
