Comments Thread For: Spence-Crawford is Only Welterweight Bout Worth Waiting For

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

This is the more sexiest fight up to date.

I hope the Boxing Gods make this fight a reality while they are in their prime.

Spence wants nothing to do with Crawford at 47 will soon move up to 54.

Spence vs Crawford is the biggest fight to be made next to Wilder vs Joshua, but there are other fights at 147 that are very interesting. This article was obviously written for the newcomers and main stream fans. As a die hard fan, I can’t wait to see Pacquiao vs Thurman! I want to see Ugas vs Danny Garcia or Danny vs Mikey Garcia. And why is everyone still sleeping on Shawn Portet??? A fight with him involved is always competitive and interesting. If you put either Manny or Thurman against Bud or Spence, it will be fireworks. Yes, I’m ready for Spence vs Crawford just like everyone else, but neither has proven their the best at 147. Thurman has the better resume at 147 and if he beats Manny, it will be a generational passing of the guard to him, not Spence or Crawford. Welterweight supremacy runs through Keith “One Time” Thurman. He has big wins over Porter and D. Garcia. He is elite at the weight and has the style and ability to compete against both Crawford and Spence.

Spence himself said he'd rather fight easier fighters than Crawford.

Haymon has Spence convinced that Crawford is a career killer...he might be right.

I don't want to say Spence is afraid, but he always has a reason to avoid Crawford.

Truthfully...Keith is irrelevant.

Well let me. I think Spence is crapping him self when it comes to fighting Bud Crawford he ain't having none of it any time soon. And thats why he's goner keep calling out Keith One time Thurman name more and more and more.
