Comments Thread For: We'll Have To Wait Way Longer Than We Should For Crawford-Spence

I have to disagree. It may have the most recognized names, but it is not the most talented. Any division where Shawn Porter and Danny Garcia are top 5 live dogs is not great. Both of them are tough, but fairly basic. Spence is untested. Crawford has a ton of talent but has not proven himself to be the top dog there yet.

Arguably not the best but certainly one of the better divisions An ideal WBSS at 147 with: Bud, Spence, Pacman, Porter, Thurman, Peterson?, Broner? and +1 other, isn't too shabby a line up. It'll never happen but it would beat the pants of the recent super middleweight one. Yea, having Shawn as a belt holder doesn't look great but there are 4 of them, or 5 if you count Manny's WBA regular belt.

While I agree that Spence is not scared, it would certainly appear he’s not keen on the smoke from Crawford atm.

Talking about ‘other side of the street’ is bs and isn’t a deciding factor in this fight getting made, he’s not Mayweather or Pac, he’s nowhere near that level in terms of commercial value, this fight would be much easier to make than May/Pac was

I mean what’s he really gonna do wait for pigs to fly for Thurman to finally return? Or even somehow persuade the rest of the pbc stable to grow a pair and fight him? Neither of those scenarios are happening anytime soon.

In my mind he’s got three options,,,
1. Fight Garcia (which he’ll get no credit for)
2. Fight Crawford
3. Move to 154

I agree, nobody on the PBC side wants to fight Spence, why would they, he may be the best boxer in the world right now. I think Crawford is in that same conversation. Be a hell of a fight, hope it gets made, but its boxing.

+1 could be Danny Garcia, hes lost 2 close decisions to 2 of the guys on that list

Blame Crawford. His contract with Top Rank had expired. He knew that Arum didn't have a welterweight stable. He chose to re-sign with a promoter, who doesn't get along with Al Haymon, when Haymon happens to have most of the name welterweights in his stable. That's on Crawford.

Spence not ready for Crawford the fight will take place in 2023 when the Haymon iron fist weakens and hes less relevant in boxing.
