Spence finds himself in a similar position that GGG was in: having a belt while other titlists tip-toe around and try to avoid a potential ass whupping. It may be even worse as Spence/Thurman/Garcia/Porter are all Haymon/Showtime. I didn't foresee Spence getting frozen out like this. Now Spence is gonna have to play the waiting game and face his mandatories. However, Ocampo's team can't be stupid enough to send their fighter to the slaughterhouse.

Porter has already been IBF champion. To him, becoming unified WBC/WBA champion is a bigger deal than becoming IBF champion again.
He's worked very hard to earn the rematch with Thurman. He has a personal issue with Thurman. He has no personal issue with Spence. Fighting Thurman would be more lucrative than fighting Spence.
Even if he loses to Thurman, he likely can still get a shot against Spence. There's no upside to fighting Spence first. Assuming he could even get the fight to begin with.

Can't really be ducking Spence if he's going to fight the no.1 Welterweight instead..
He has a guaranteed shot at the #1 fighter in the division, who holds the top two world championships in the division, which is also the most lucrative fight possible.
