Who will fight Spence - first? Crawford or Thurman?

[Morrie ATG]

Will Crawford call out Spence after Horn?

['b']

He should move up and face David Lemieux for undisputed p4p#1

[j.razor]

Keith will. Bud's promoter won't do it.

[The Big Dunn]

Thurman is going to fight him first. That is Al's biggest fight other than Joshua/Wilder.

[FrankieClutch]

Thurman will. That fight is happening either at the end of this year or at the beginning of the next.

[BoxingFan85]

Thurman would fight him early next year..
A tune up in May and may be Porter or Garcia rematch should get him ready for Spence..
Crawford might fight the winner of Thurman-Spence

Thurman cuz you still got Arum's bs to deal with.

I don't think Arum or Haymon want "their guy" to fight off of ESPN or Showtime (or wherever PBC will show Spence's future fights) or not promoted by themselves (or a non-PBC promoter in Haymon's case).

And most of these mfers can't agree to a purse bid situation in a non-abc situation so it makes it impossible to come to an agreement on a network when neither side will bend & both sides won't agree to a purse bid to decide it.

So FOR SURE Thurman vs Spence happens first & it sounds like 2019 cuz Thurman talks better than he fights these days.

I doubt Crawford will call Spence out after he almost certainly KOs Horn.Crawford seems more likely than Thurman to fight Spence. Thurman seems to want nothing to do with fighting Spence, now, later or ever.

PBC will make sure all their guys have fought each other and there's a last man standing before Crawford gets a crack at any of them.

I think Thurman-Spence happens late 2019 or early 2020. I think Thurman does his tune-up, then Vargas later in the year, Porter or Garcia re-match or maybe both (in 2019) and then Spence
