What has Crawford done to earn a shot at Spence?

[Marchegiano]

Problem is they are raiting him off of potential not actual fighters he has defeated. Therein lies the problem with boxing. Potential is just that POTENTIAL. Actual wins is the only thing that should matter.

Who has Crawford actually defeated that make him the best at 147?

He is living off of accomplishments at 135 and 140 not at 147.

Beating Horn means squat when Horns claim to fame is a universal acknowledged robbery of Pacquiao.

Benavidez? Who is that?

Amir Khan is over the hill and pretty much shot at this point.

Crawford has done nothing significant at 147 to be the top WW. Hell Pacquiao's win over Thurman is better then anything Crawford has.

Pac and his fangirls are the worst for crying about not getting a decision victory.

I don't think he needs to "earn" a fight, but he and the shills at ESPN should stop acting like Spence or the other top contenders should be lining up to fight him. People keep crying about how PBC keeps treating like Crawford he's irrelevant, but Crawford is irrelevant and he did this to himself. You can't fight Horn, Indongo, Diaz, Mollna, Lundy, etc. then act like you're next in line. Maybe if he was fighting warm bodies and building his profile I'd feel bad for the guy, but he has that classic Top Rank, Bob Arum mindset. Crawford is going keep fighting garbage until PBC has no choice but to make a deal with him. Basically he's become the new 97G

They're the top 2 of the division and the ones below them has no chance of beating either one of them... Those reasons are enough...

Again according to what? Potential or because who he has defeated?

Can't refute what I say so you must deflect, you sound like a ******** now.

[strykr619]

What did Victor ortiz do to deserve a fight with Mayweather or robert guerrero? What a ****** question bro.

Win against an undefeated Berto who was hyped up back in 2011, easy to trash NOW but no was saying that at the time.

[STREET CLEANER]

Popular fighter considered #1 by some. I agree that he has not face a single top WW. He fought a one legged fighter and he almost had all he could handle.

[mathed]

Enlighten me

Who has he beat?

Ahahahahahaha.......look at you spencer fans moving goal posts and building roadblocks for a Bud fight all of a sudden. They say, sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow.

This is Spencer at the thought of facing Bud this morning.....

[maguirre]

I'm no huge fan of any particular fighter at this point. Not a fan of Spence, Crawford, etc.

If you hate Crawford so much, and you believe Spence is the better fighter, then why won't you support a sooner than later fight between them, so that Spence can quickly get rid of him?

I don't get it.

Most fans would probably root for Spence, anyways, because he's more entertaining than TC, who has been in boring fights like the Postol fight; he clinched when Molina was able to get inside, which meant to me that he's not good on the inside.

[chaosisme]

Well, I would say that Crawford and Spence makes sense because they both have titles. It's the only road to undisputed welterweight champion. If Crawford doesn't "deserve" or hasn't "earned" a fight with Spence, and Pacquiao isn't going to fight him, you'd rather just see Spence retire, right?

As fans of the SPORT, we should all be pushing for the top guys to face each other. I think there's a lot of people on here who are really just fans of the business of boxing.

Fair point but what about guerrero?
