should erroll spence be added to the certified HOE list ??

You are being unfair to Spence. You really seem to dislike him and are always attacking him. Crawford and Spence can't make the fight in today's boxing world. Arum and Haymon and their respective networks have to come together and make the fight. If they ever do then the great fight will happen. Blame them for the fight not happening. Don't blame Spence because he can't do anything about it. He can tell Haymon get me the Crawford fight but Haymon does what he wants as does Arum.

This is nonsense. If Spence presses the issue he can fight Crawford this year. Al Haymon aint no damn don. remember he promised Khan a Mayweather fight and never delivered. if Spence makes noise that he ONLY wants bud it'll happen. why are people so in favor of letting this fight marinate? how old is Crawford again? save that nonsense

I honestly think Spence wants to fight Crawford, his confidence seems genuine, I just don't think Haymon fancies that risk atm, especially when he can make big fights between Spence, Thurman and Porter first.

Spence has time on his side, Crawford doesn't and while I still favour Crawford in that fight as of right now, I'm not sure this would be the case in a year or 2.

Right now, Spence just has more options than Crawford. I don't have a problem with Spence taking a couple fights with opponents who offer a challenge, before he faces Crawford. I don't think there are any WWs on the PBC payroll who can beat him, but he should look to unify with a fight against Porter. These corrupt sanctioning bodies are just a much to blame. They need to recognize who is most deserving of title shots and make those fights happen. Force Danny, Thurman or Porter to fight Spence as mandatories. Enforce more mandatories based upon quality wins and most deserving. Lets not have a guy like Jeff Horn with 16 fights getting titles shots and being ranked #2, or Josesito Lopez jumping to the head of the line.

Spence and Crawford will still be in their prime in 2020. Marinate it for a year and build it up. Put on a decent undercard.
