Who the fck cares who you COULD fight? Fight CRAWFORD you punk!!!

More proof that boxing needs to be singular promotion to get these guys to fight each other, because they've all turned into businessmen. I'm a Spence guy, but these are the articles you don't want to wake up to.

Right there really needs to be a mandatory tournament of some kind every two years or whatever to make it so the business side of things don't prevent fans from seeing the best fights and having to wait years down the road.

To some extent, Spence does have more options given the stack of potential WW opponents under PBC. But that doesn't mean one of those opponents can't backfire on him. Danny Garcia, Porter, Thurman, can all sneak by him and squeak out a win. If that happens, the Spence train gets derailed and his stock will plummet.

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.

Spence is nothing like AJ, AJ fights everyone and offers 100 million to step in with him.

Spence's biggest pay was an offer made to him by a light weight. No hate just a fact.

AJ doesn't offer everyone 100 million to step in the ring with him. And second what I mean is Spence is looking to collect the majority of the belts just like AJ has. Only belt AJ is missing is the WBC belt and if everything goes the way Spence plans only one he'll be missing is the WBO belt, which is a smart move. Which is why AJ doesn't HAVE to offer Wilder 50/50 because he has most of the belts. This is more strategy from Spence than anything. If you have an opportunity to collect belts from fighters in your stable then why not?? If Spence beats Crawford everyone will say Khan and Gamboa was Crawford's best wins and Crawford will then be called a hype job. So why not get the belts in the meantime.

man, i've become so disappointed with spence.

Nothing pisses me off more than boxers bragging about holding all the cards while refusing to fight their biggest rival.

I agree with the idea, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The boxers are in on the scam, which tells me that glory is secondary. The first thing out of anyone's mouth nowadays is "that guy doesn't deserve...", based on viewership numbers/sales. Enhancing your legacy used to make you profitable, but fighters are now taking the popularity shortcut and doing whatever they can to keep their records unblemished until they land a huge fight. I'm sure it'll be that way for a while, because going to war and trying to be the best of the best doesn't pay like it used to. Seems that not enough people watch boxing for that type of thing anymore.

The man in your pictures literally did this when he said that he holds the cards over Wilder

It’s obvious Spence doesn’t want Crawford’s peter in his butt anytime soon

[Curtis2]

Spence has way more options than Bud no comparison. Spence not ducking Bud. If he beats Porter then Thurman Manny winner and maybe if Garcia has any hardware he has all belts except buds, if he cleaned up Haymons stable if he then won’t fight Bud then it’s ducking

Haymon's stable of WW are C quality, Spence B level...none compare to Crawford's A game!

The duck talk is lame from you guys. Spence pointed out the facts, and y'all are hurt about it. Arum needs help with his fighter, but is disrespectful as hell at the same time. Let him beg, he needs some humbling
