Spedce wearing panties still. Despite size advantage, he wants no part of Bud.

C’mon Spence man up
Give the fans what they want

The people on twitter starting to lambast Spence for his chicken **** excuses. No one wants to see him fight Danny Garcia and Pac has made it clear he is not interested.

Everyone will soon understand...Spence don't want no part of T Crawford! There won't be no avoiding a damaging concussed Spence within 6 rounds vs T Crawford, STOPPAGE before round 7..

Crawford is my favorite fighter, but in all honesty, he doesn’t have the control he thinks he has. There is a reason that De La Hoya, Mayweather, Cotto, Mikey Garcia, and Cotto all left Top Rank. It’s obvious Bud didn’t do his research. He should have at least sat down to the table with PBC to hear their pitch. Although he is a future hall of famer, he would have a legendary career if he signed with PBC, who has the best crop of welterweights since the golden 80’s. Arum can’t afford Crawford losing to any PBC fighter. Lomo, Crawford, and Fury are the only fighters truly keeping Top Rank above water. Arum will be irrelevant like Don King once those guys lose or retire.

I do think both want to fight each other but neither controls their career. It will be a mega fight though when it happens, and with Crawford’s skill and versatility, I see him beating Spence.

You must write comic books for a living cause you're as ******ly silly as they come.

Crawford will get his chance to fight Spence and then is going to turn around and say that he has to fulfill promotional obligation with his promoter. Then he will fight a JWW coming up.

Bud is Wild Dog and Errol is a wounded poodle

Well said! Bud should've known how this was going to play out! Did he not see how Floyd vs. Manny played out? At least Manny was such a star, that "the fight" had to happen, even if late! Spence and Crawford are not at that level! I don't think Wilder vs. Fury II is big enough for a fight on FOX & ESPN, but we'll see in February!

Like you said, he should've at least had a sit down with PBC. However, Bud probably thought the ESPN deal was going to make everyone flock to ESPN, but that did not happen! Now he really has nowhere to go! I can't even think of one WW that can lift Bud's profile, that's not part of PBC! Can you?
