It's hilarious how Crawford keeps calling out Spence yet he re-signed with Top Rank

If you're saying Spence has more quality and bigger names opponents in his side of the street? Then of course that is true, but don't think anyone is debating that.Comment

which is why i said TC needs spence more than spence needs him!! HEEELLLOOO!!!?? spence can fight the likes of thurman, pacquiao and a win over those 2 will over write anything crawford related. as for TC, he cant do that. no matter who he fights at TR, it will not out do the names spence has over on his side. TC is in a tough spot right now lol. at least when pac was still with TR, there was still guys like bradley, marquez, etc. now top rank aint got shiiiet for TC.Comment

- -Al rarely let's his top fighters fight each other, and they rarely do more than once a year.
He real good at parsing out spare slurps of koolaide for his fan base here, and I like how he squirrels away sight unseen in his underground bunker to make his minions dance around like the puppets they are.Comment

lol...another clown who tries to refute the existence of pbc sidechecks...which have been confirmed by pbc fighters including Thurman
trust this...spence and Thurman(at least before his injury and absence) are making, at least in the ballpark, of the same money that Crawford is.....if they are making a little less its because al has more mouths to feed

PPV flop or not, Spence would be an asterisked champion if he doesn’t demand to fight Crawford, so, he needs Crawford more than the other way. As a man, Spence should feel inferior that many people do not consider him the supreme champion. As such, he will have to sacrifice something to obtain the respect he desires. That sacrifice will be the money split.
With Pacquiao gone from TR, and now fighting under Haymon, TC has like no one to fight.
Spence has the winner of Thurman-Pacquiao, DSG, Porter.
And Lomachenko ain't fighting Crawford. If Loma fights any WW, it would be someone on the smaller side like Pacquiao, Mikey or someone who's style he can exploit.Comment

Thurman fought Danny Garcia
Danny Garcia fought Porter
Spence is rumored to be fighting Porter next and Pacquiao fighting Thurman ? So that kinda takes care of the first part of your post .
I couldn't understand WTF you were talking about on the second part . Figured it was just shet talking .Comment

Being WBC champion doesn't automatically mean a fighter is more valuable than a WBO champion, but the value the WBC belt adds to the fighter is more than the value a WBO belt adds to a fighter.
Shawn Porter doesn't have a big following. He's already lost a couple big fights. His value, without that WBC belt, is way way less than his value with that WBC belt. So even if Crawford is worth more than Porter, Porter's belt is adding more value than Crawford's belt is.
The WBO welterweight belt is just the in house Top Rank welterweight belt. Being WBO welterweight champion just means you're Top Rank's best welterweight. It's been that way for nearly 20 years. PBC has all the other best welterweights and none of them pursue the WBO belt.
Conversely, Crawford's name would ring with or without a belt due to his prior achievements. We saw as soon as he moved up people were talking about Spence v Crawford.
The fact that PBC fighters don't go the WBO route doesn't make it any less valuable, we all know it's because Bob and Al don't do business while the Arum/Warren stranglehold isn't much different from what Don King had with the WBC for decades. My guess is that Arum took his inspiration from that.Comment

Whereas Arum has a stranglehold on the WBO welterweight title without having most of the best welterweights.
Big difference.Comment

Spence has the better welter record because he's not a p4p 3 division champ like Terence...Duh!
Haymon has enough top welters to start a WBSS tourney, but he won't, but Spence and Crawford both agreed they want to fight, so now it's up to Haymon and Arum to duke out a fair contract.
But will they?Comment
