Comments Thread For: Spence: Arum's Desperate; He's Mad Because I Hold All the Cards

[satiev1]

LAS VEGAS Errol Spence Jr. knows Terence Crawford wants to fight him. Spence doesn't get the same feeling from Crawford's promoter. If Bob Arum actually wanted to put Crawford in the ring with him, Spence figures Arum wouldv'e taken a different tact than he took last weekend.

TRANSLATION: I'm going to delay the fight as long as possible.

Fact...Spence is move to 154 in 2020...like it or not he can't make weight. BUT he needs to remain undefeated and Crawford at 147 is simply too dangerous.

Unless you're a Greenseer I don't see how this is a fact.

You might also wana keep this in mind.

Porter fought at 165 in the amaterus, Spence fought at 152 at the amateurs. Spence is younger than Porter.

So if Porter can still make weight, aint no reason Spence can't make weight for a few more years.

Right there is no guarantee that Spence is going to walk thru Porter, Thurman and Pac. Those aren't guaranteed wins. I don't mind Spence not fighting Crawford as long as he's fighting for belts. But if he gets to a point where he's just fighting no name guys that's where I'll have a problem.

Same here. If he was fighting the Wade's and Steve Rolls of this world then I would be royally pissed.

Remember that guy Andre Ward tried to fight and the sanctioning body refused to sanction the fight coz the guy was too much of a bum.

I mayn this aint that ish. This guy is fighting champions in his division and unifying titles.

Fans are too self entitled at times. Just because he aint cleaning up in the order that they want now they bishing about it.

He's cleaning up, and Crawford is part of that clean up process. Just wait your turn damn it.

Morale victories are for minor league coaches. He didn't win, look at the record. He doesn't have the belt. And him and his promoter aren't even looking to have the fight next if Wilder signed to ESPN. That 12th rd probably knocked him into a relapse and his family and trainer are scared for him.

Also, if that's your logic then there is no reason for Spence to cross the road when belts and money are on his side.

Fury already fought Wilder.

Don't blame me, you can thank Floyd for that current trend. He was so obsessed with preserving that "0", that he went into low-risk/high-reward mode and used other fighter's losses against them as leverage. He made the zero in the loss column more important than the substance of a fighter's resume and quality of their opposition. All the PBC fans now judge fighters accordingly.

I agree with what's in bold, but it's only the case if we adhere to it. that last sentence on the other hand is false. I see more PBC haters with that logic, saying that a loss made Mickey a B-side with Lomachenko, a loss will make Wilder worthless, saying that fighters should just retire

And avoided the rematch after feeling those punches

He avoided going back to get ripped off again on another PBC card. If Wilder wants to fight him again, it's his turn to cross the road.

If PBC wanted an immediate rematch they should have thought twice about cooking the verdict and voiding the rematch clause.

Damage people for a living but not if their feelings get hurt? A transparent attempt to make this about promoters and away from the fact that Spence is simply ducking Crawford...again.

Simply a transparent lesson in history!

Whatever you need to tell yourself. Fury can go fight Shwartzes of the world on the app, never getting the big fights. He has actually said that he is content with that, because 'training is what keeps him happy".

Tito PRIME
Shane PRIME
Vargas PRIME
Quartey PRIME
Hopkins PRIME
Floyd PRIME

Oscar held all the cards throughout his whole career and never made fans beg or wait for anything

Vargas, Quartey, Hopkins, were not prime. Don't try to rewrite history.
