    We give boxers stick for perceived ducking or taking easy fights, we even give fighters grief for chasing the biggest fight they can when it’s delusional and not the biggest fight that can be made (khan chasing mayweather is obvious example), but how can we criticise a fighter trying to make the biggest fight out there when it’s a bona fide mega fight and the match that 90% of the fans really want and see as the most competitive in the division.

    I see what your saying about Crawfords resume at 147, but that doesn’t change the fact that most people regard him as the biggest test for Spence out there and THE fight to make. No one wants to hear the marinade nonsense, make the fight now, don’t let it turn into a mayweather v Pacquiao affair that’s made later than it should have been.
    When Arum said Thurman & Porter aren't good fights for Crawford that's when I saw the play. He was gonna feed Crawford bums until Spence clears out the PBC welterweights. This is GGG all over again. No tough fight but wants to reap the rewards of another man's hard work

      Well it appears to me that Crawford wants the fight imminently while Spence is the one talking about clearing out the division and not fighting Crawford.
      Difference of opinion aside, do you agree or disagree that Spence v crawford is best fight to be made at 147?
      As a boxing fan why would you not want to see this happen?

        When Arum said Brook would probably want to much money to fight Crawford, but never asked him how much he'd want, that's when I knew they were taking the GGG route. Let the other fighter take the hard route while Crawford feasts on bums.

        When BoMac said Brook is done but fought Khan and about to figure Kfdyvshyf$fg, who still has Robinson problems, that's when I was absolutely certain they were taking the low risk until they get the high reward route

          he has power but he's never been able to stay active under king and really develop a style that could protect what looks like a less than durable chin and body. what in the world would have possessed him to sign with don king, anyway? a gun ?

            I’ll leave you to your deductions Columbo. In the hear and now Crawford wants Spence who doesn’t seem interested, that’s enough for me.

            A deduction of my own, you’re avoiding answering my question because you agree that Crawford is the toughest challenge for Spence and the best fight out there. But instead of wanting the fight to happen from a boxing fans standpoint you’re sticking to your pro Spence agenda.
            Fanboys are the worst.

              Crawford had no problem fighting other champs at 140 and 135 but suddenly the other champs at 147 aren't worthy, only Spence. The GGG way. Fight bums while the other guy fight the killers then step in for a payday
