      thats a fair comparison......

      but yeah...haymon dont have to put his guys with others at WW because he has juicy ones....i think charlo will wait it out until either golovkin or canelo is basically backed into a corner having to fight charlo though....either by being enforced or by public demand...

      charlo may have to fight some bums for awhile...but hey so did golovkin...and his fans always defended him....so charlo fans i guess can lay the same claim "that hes ducked".....

        Well Spence can’t make the excuse that the fight can’t happen because his with Haymon. The thing is that the PBC fighters don’t want to fight someone Haymon won’t force them. That’s why a lot of good fights don’t happen in PBC. So this shows Spence don’t want the fight.

          It's not as bad as some people are making it seem.

          I think it'd be Crawford's best win at WW. Collazo was never popular but he's a damn good fighter. Not great, but a real test for anybody fighting him. Every other top guy is busy and I'd rather see Crawford fight a veteran than some unproven nobody.

            i will keep telling myself that

            theres plenty of opportunity to "scout" crawford....by working with/talking to guys that have fought and sparred him...by watching tape...by attending his fights live.....

            this isnt the 80s....this is the easy access/info age man

              Yet he isnt making juicy ones, just a bunch of showcase fights minus a few.

              Pbc is feeding the masses with grizzle instead of steak. The big fights shouldve been made a awhile back. Now we're getting a merry go round when we should be getting nothing but the best vs the best. They do have the biggest stable yet we get bs

                  if bob had the WW roster that haymon does he wouldnt be making all of the fights back to back to back either...he would let one happen....then let the winner take a light touch...and prob wait another fight.....its really no different

                  and thurman getting hurt threw a wrench into all of that too.....he also has given us danny vs shawn and danny vs thurman already which are juicy fights....and hes still kind of building spence up in the process...once porter gets another W, thurman gets back into the swing of things...and spence beats mikey.....it will just be heating up again even more.....

                  al is the guy that put his boy danny in with lucas matthysse at at ime where lucas was considered one of the most dangerous guys around...and he put that as the main support to a floyd ppv when he totally didnt have to...he could have let that stand alone as a network main event ....but he gave us a great clash on paper for a ppv co headliner

                    i sort of get your point...they are putting a big, WW, left hander in there with crawford....and it does give them sort of a look at crawford against the left hander that is legit 147 size........i just dont read too much into it really imo...but i sort of get what you are saying

                      This makes Spence look like Sugar Ray Robinson in comparison. We all know Mikey even @147 would destroy an old azz, washed up Collazo.

                      Crooked Bob is turning Crawford's welterweight "reign" into a clown show.
