The winner wont be fighting Spence for a while then, which is what I have been telling people who seemed to think that fight was a given. Crawford and Spence really have got no other options but each other if they want it.

Man, Spence might move to 154 sooner than we think lol.

So Jessie Vargas and Thurman

They make exceptions for unifications. Postol didn’t fight a mandatory after winning the vacant belt

i will be very surprised if the winner fights spence next year. winner of this fight is gonna get some momentum and they arent gonna jump into a fight where they will be the underdog straight after. Plus this double mandatory is nice and convenient for them now. just stick spence and crawford in the ring together and be done with it, noones gonna be more interested in it 3 fights down the line because theyve both beat a few bums. im fine with marinating something if theres interesting fights in the meantime but theres not.

Spence and Crawford should duke it out then. The first card can be PPV featuring the mandatories either fighting each other or some other high profile fighters on the undercard. The second card can then be on free Showtime with the mandatory bout for the winner and a tune up for the loser. Then the rematch on PPV.

Unification will always trump mandatories

[AdonisCreed]

Andre Berto and Keef I assume. Poor Spence might not get a unification match unless he fight Crawford. Hopefully Porter or Garcia will step up to the plate

Unification will always trump mandatories

Not with the IBF. I am just speaking in general.
