    Not knocking Spence, but see him as a one trick pony. He throws many punches per round and applies pressure. Crawford has the edge in making adjustments. Spense will grow tired of getting hit while Crawford use angles and use the full ring. Just recognize greatness. Skills pay the bills. Slow and steady wins the race always.

      Crawford is calling out Spence, Arum is calling out Hymen and Spence is making up excuses for ducking the fight. It's obvious to the fans who the chicken is and the pressure is going to mount on Spence et al.

      Crawford will become more vocal as will Arum. Hymen will be hiding in the shadows throwing Spence under the bus, leaving him to look and sound like a coward to the fans trying to justify it, lol. It's only just started and Spencer is already getting crapped on by the fans.....he'll be changing his tune as the pressure builds.

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

          The good thing is that Spence is always in social media reading what the public and fans say.... Everywhere I go I see the fans complaining and starting to call him a duck... He's the new Thurman, hopefully Spence gets that heat from the fans like Thurman did.

            The fans were different then. They just wanted to see good boxing. Now fans are only behind fighters who walk, talk, look, or act like they want them to. They hop from the next big thing to the next big thing or look for reasons to dislike fighters for nationalistic or racial reasons. Its ridiculous.

              If you think Spence is scared of another 147lber then you’re reflecting your own fears on him. It’s the first thing you think of because it’s what comes natural to you. It’s easy to tell with your elementary formation of sentences.

                I would say within the last 4-6 Months, Spence Jr has been promoted masterfully by FOX as well as being backed by Jerry Jones basically giving him the Keys to Cowboys/AT&T Stadium for Big Fights in that Stadium

                So yeah, it is weird how quickly it has happened but yes Tables Have Turned

                  Crawford is like what 5-year locked in the new Top Rank contract? He is really old before him and Spence will fight if you want him to join PBC and that would be at 154 or at a catch weight because Errol Spence's body is ready to blow up very soon. Top Rank contracts are known to be ironclad, you can't fool around it.

                  I guess let's just add this fight to our list of the what if they fight on their prime list.

                    Embarrassing behaviour by these PBC fighters. Totally closing the door to fans who want to see them fight certain fighters. It's like openly choosing a political party when your business needs both parties' constituents.

                    This guy needs to be boycotted.

                      Is Crawford gonna pay himself the millions he would want to fight? Doubtful. Spence won't be paying himself either. And neither promotional team is handing off to the other.

                      So for the 1000th time, THAT is the problem. It's a BIG fight for us fans, but TV/Network money won't support a co-promotion at this time (in anyone's estimation that I've seen).

                      If anyone can figure how to pay these two $10 mill a piece AND make some money for yourself, PLEASE STEP FORWARD! Otherwise, grow-up and stop sniveling.
