Spence also has other quality opponents on his side of the street to fight first, such as unification fights with Keith Thurman and the winner of the vacant title bout between Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter. Crawford's available top opponents are, well, nobody.
But Crawford and Spence have both said they're interested in facing each other. Both have shown respect for the other's game, and fan interest is clearly on the upswing for this as the welterweight fight most in demand.
The fight isn't ready to be made just yet because it can -- and should -- be much bigger. Right now it's simply not big enough financially for either side to push the issue. That will be up to the media and fans to push, push and push for this fight.

Maybe Mikey is smarter than people give him credit for. I mean he did leave Arum (and that's a special group of guys who can say that) lol his name might explode if he did this. I'm a little intrigued now
Thats because he can. Spence isnt unbeatable. If they fight at a 144/145 catchweight mikey definitely has a shot.

He should pick on somebody his own size, maybe bigger, since he's so good. Come up with a real fight, I've seen enough of his mismatches.

I was a little surprised that Spence was only 156 for his last fight (if we can believe that number). If that number is correct then Spence isn't the monster (size wise anyway) I was led to believe. I think the fight may not be so crazy as some are saying.
That said, it's a fight, much like GGG responding to Brook's challenge, that only Garcia can win. Golovkin received nothing but ridicule for beating Brook and should Spence win he'll receive his ration of the same. Gotta love Garcia's courage though if he takes this fight but if he get's fk'd up like Brook did, people will just say he was ******.

Let Spence fight the other 6 welterweight champions and former champions. I give Mikey respect for calling out Spence but that is a bad move for him. Stat at 40 and unify there and fight the other guys there. Spence can fight the Top 10 welterweights and pick on a much smaller but brave guy.
Originally posted by BIGPOPPAPUMP View PostBy Keith Idec - NEW YORK Errol Spence Jr. isn't calling out Mikey Garcia. The undefeated IBF welterweight champion made sure that was understood when he was asked Tuesday about possibly boxing Garcia later this year. Yet now that Garcia has brought it up, Spence is intrigued. "That could happen," Spence told a small group of reporters during a luncheon at a Manhattan restaturant...
