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

[HarvardBlue]

Arum couldn't get Pacquiao to face Crawford when he moved up to WW. Haymon can't get Thurman or Garcia to face Spence.

Why does anyone think it will be easy to make Crawford/Spence when they can't even make in house fights?

Of course everyone will take sides and start the blame game.

The fight will happen eventually and people will come up with new reasons to criticize the fight.

We've seen this plenty of times before.

Porter is far more proven than Spence based on what? Getting his ass handed to him by Kell Brook, who Spence stopped? Or was it losing to Thurman where he proved himself to you. It must have been those wins against Danny Garcia, Broner, and Alexander. Who have a grand total of ZERO wins against top welterweights on their resumes. I guess he did stop washed up versions of Malignaggi and Berto. Neither of whom were considered top level guys even in their primes.

If Spence fought Danny Garcia, it would be the biggest fight in his career. Ever.

Sure, Porter and Thurman are far more proven than Spence and Crawford.

I disagree with you but I respect your opinion. I need to see how Crawford performs against Porter and/or Danny D. Garcia. IMO Keith Thurman has faced the toughest opposition at Welterweight but Spence vs Crawford is the best P4P showdown between two elite pound for pound talents who happen to be unproven at welterweight.

It’s easy to overlook Thurman due to inactivity or b/c he may not be pound for pound but until he’s unbeaten we truly can’t position Errol or Terrance above Keith based on their respective resumes.

Totally agree. Crawford and Spence are two big welterweights, both have a talent to become N.1 in division, but they have to prove it in the ring.

You don`t become welterweight N.1. with fighting lightweights.
