Tbh Spence vs Crawford shouldn't happend yet.

[Jsmooth9876]

While I agree, it doesn't have to happen next, it should happen after Spence unifies with Porter. But we know it won't. What will happen is Spence will beat Porter in September, then he will have a random fight at home, then he will fight a mandatory, then he will fight Thurman or manny if one still has the belt, then they will fight another Mandatory, then maybe they entertain the Crawford fight lol.

So maybe 2022 if we are lucky...

Meanwhile Crawford will be fighting bums and anyone Arum to round up that we've ever heard of that can make 147

There are 5 belts holders at 147 if you count Mannys regular belt you 5 guy at the top right now in Manny, Thurman, Porter, Crawford, Spence.

Danny G was there but Thurman and Porter gave him his Ls he isnt top Welter imo anymore.

Point is Crawford Spence are the top 2 but they need too take down everyone else in the middle and get their belts to fully unify as top 2 battling for #1.

You're giving the belts top much importance imho.

Pacquiao's belt doesn't count for starters and he's also past his best.

Thurman either isn't ready or is also past his best.

Porter's belt belongs to Thurman.

It's clear who the two best guys are. Let's get then in the ring, run a trilogy and move on.

Spence can cement his legacy at 154 and 160, he's big enough.

100%. Big fights like this NEVER happen when there are so many players on the field still.

I mean despite most or for sure many of us feeling that Bud & Spence are the top two you could argue they have the worst 147lb resumes oddly enough.

Thurman & Manny got the best resumes. Porter has fought Thurman, Danny & Brook. Spence's best win is Brook by a mile. Bud's best win is probably Horn ffs. Both Bud & Spence need to enhance their resumes to make this fight make sense to both of them. Sure it would be better for us fans if they would fight now & someone just gots a L when they likely fight again if they are proven to be the top 2 at a future date, but the business of boxing don't work like that & this is a business & Bud & Spence are wanting to get the most money for what is probably going to be the most risky fight for both of them. No one wants to take short money for big risk if they don't got to.

mofos didn't learn nothing from floyd/pac.

lets just wait 6 more years then... whats the rush doe

[blue_dolphin]

only in boxing you hear mofos say "no, i dont wanna see the best fight the best, i can wait" LOL

i love boxing but sometimes feel like FCK THIS SHT

never heard a pack of UFC heads talk about marinating a damn thing

how old is crawford again? and u mofos are in favor of stalling??? cant make this sht up

Crawford is 31, he aint got much time left in his prime. Fight should happen now or never, theses are the two best welter right now. In my opinion, Thurman, Porter and Garcia are second class, behind Spence and Crawford.

This isnt that big a fight man. This isnt how you build, you dont even know spence's potential yet. Even pbc doesnt have as much fate as you lot, in ellerbe's words spence is unproven, we dont know if he's the best of the pbc boys this is why thurman is getting pacquiao, as the most accomplished. I think it's more likely they risk thurman vs crawford before spence. (Although i'd doubt it, unless he again seperates himself under his umbrella).

If we thought like the ***ing ts we wouldnt have even gotten thurman garcia or porter, it'd have been marinated to be a huge event. Just make the damn fights happen when they matter, someone will seperate themselves as thurman did from the welterweight division in his reign, and when two accomplished fighters come together you got your big event. Dont try to force it.

[Jubei]

You want it to happen when Crawford is slowed down a bit and past prime?

[SplitSecond]

If thurman beats the *** outtta pacquiao, and spence were to beat crawford this, or early next year, that thurman fight would be bigger than spence fighting a past prime crawford who was frozen out for im gonna guess 3 years, going by the pace haymon likes his fighters to fight at.

[Zaryu]

It should really happen next, or at least later this year. I don't understand why fans would rather just not watch it now, I really don't get it unless they're just favoring one of the two and feel that delaying the fight benefits their preferred fighter.
