    one minute its "they're the best" .. the next minute "well, crawford just won his title and spence only has a few"..
    Dude you are just not capable of holding a rational conversation. It's like you pick out pieces and form a whole new argument. Are you autistic?

    Read what I posted carefully. If you are still unsure, ask.

    If you want the fight now, cool, no problem. It works for me now and it would work for me in a year after watching them clean out WW.

    If you have an issue with it being built, it doesn't matter because you clearly have some mental issues that affect your cognitive abilities.

      if it quacks like a duck, its a duck!! bu bu but it needs time to built up.

      you were pushing for crawford vs pac pretty heavy, why the need to "built it up" when it comes to spence/crawford?

        Crawford just moved into WW, he needs a few fights to adjust. They're also both young, and relatively not well known.

        Wilder is almost 33, and Joshua is already a world-class name. They're also both heavyweights. If they marinate too long, we'll be looking at past his prime Wilder.

        Different scenarios IMO.

          Mandatory defense vs possible mega fight dummy.

                You have two undefeated HW champions, who have been around for a good while. Championship HW bouts have always been the darling of the sport. This because of the potential for an exciting match between two powerful men ending in a KO. It's been a long time since we've had two dangerous, undefeated HWs like Wilder & Joshua. Wilder has said that he will unify this year. Joshua has said that if Wilder comes to England to fight him, he will "knock him spark out." Now, what sense does it make to posture like that, only to say, "Well, I'll do it, but not right now, maybe later."? A great fight now could set up a blockbuster rematch and maybe even a trilogy. We don't want to wait until these guys are ready to retire, ala Manny vs Floyd. The time is NOW!!

                  spence/Crawford doesn't have that demand and wont command the type of money it could yet...AJ/wilder already commands very healthy numbers for both....real simple

                    Joshua-Wilder is 4 belts in one fight in the Heavyweight division and one fighter (Joshua) is a national hero and marketing phenomenon. It's the only Heavyweight fight worth a damn currently.

                    Crawford-Spence is 2 belts in one fight in the Welterweight division and both fighters are currently mainly regional attractions that are currently building larger fan bases and higher audiences with each fight. It is also the consensus p4p #2 guy vs. a guy that's been a champion for 13 months but appears just outside most p4p top 5's.

                    If you can't see that one is about as hot as it can be and the other and has even more ability to grow then I don't know what to tell you.

                    A fighter can be the best in the world and not the most marketable. Why did Trinidad and De La Hoya fight Whitaker and Quartey respectively before their obviously bigger fight? Because there was room (and time) to make it bigger even though they were both #1 and 2 in the division and #2 and 3 p4p.

                      yeah, i cant see how spence/crawford can get any bigger??? are we gonna just assume that they both will keep winning until they finally fight each other???
