Why does Spence NOT want to fight Crawford?

[DaNeutral.]

Ignoring all the walking from one side of the street to the other, forgetting Arum and Haymon. Lets just look at the one on one.

Crawford is calling Spence out now and Spence is saying he is putting Crawford to the back of the Queue. Its really as simple as that. Crawford has already said who he wants next, SPENCE, Spence has said who he wants next PACQUIAO and has already named the other fighters he wants to fight before Crawford.

So there is no denying Bud wants Spence but Spence dont want Bud. Whats that about?

[Phenom]

Much more money in fighting Pacquiao than Bud plus he really doesn't have any leverage WBO is not a highly regarded belt and he is not bringing more money to the table than say Porter or DSG

[Boris Johnson!]

spence is playing the risk/reward game same as most fighters, he won't take the crawford fight unless offered retirement money

[Rip Chudd]

Spence wants the fight but not at this present time when he can unify with guys in the same stable as well as make more money while doing it. People act like it will be easy making a Spence vs Crawford fight. Both outfits want their guy as the top guy in the billing. If Spence unifies with the guys on his side it all but cements him as the top guy when the fight happens and terms for the fight will be in his favor

[Bullrider]

You need to review the first Porter/Spence presscon wherein he was asked about Crawford.

It's clear he believes in marinating fights just like the May/Pac fight. Kind of implies he can make it happen, but not now.

Therefore, people need to stop asking him about Crawford. Ask him 2 -3 years later.

Arum can't or won't make Stevenson/Valdez/Warrington/Frampton or Berchelt/Herring.

That's why Spence said he'll take the easier route to making fights.

[Luilun]

Afraid of losing which will hurt his marketing ability

Why doesn't crawford want to fight the best welterweights?

He's clearly ducking the entire division and is content with fighting in mismatches while all the other top welterweights fight each other.

Crawford himself says Spence is not ducking him so why do you say Spence is ducking Crawford when Crawford says Spence is not ducking him? What is the best offer to fight Crawford that Spence has turned down? Oh, that's right, there has NEVER been an offer on the table for Spence to fight Crawford so how is he ducking? Spence is fighting another champion and that is what good champions do. Spence fights better fighters than Crawford fights and that's a fact. Mikey and Porter are better fighters than Khan and Benavidez. Of course Spence would rather fight Pac than Crawford because it's a bigger money fight and Spence fights to make money like every other pro boxer. When a high dollar offer to fight Crawford is made to Spence he will fight him and I think he will beat him. Just saying I want to fight Spence in the media doesn't mean anything. Make Spence a real good public offer to fight Crawford with a dollar amount, a location and a contract and the fight will happen. Arum won't do that.

It's best to make fights when both fighters are at their peaks and undefeated.
