Being Number 1 ranked really means something once the sanctioning body actually orders the the champion to fight his mandatory. That's why I don't get too excited about Shawn being ranked number 1 by the WBO yet. Don't get me wrong, I do want to see Bud vs Porter.

Crawford already said he gains nothing from fighting Porter.Comment

No doubt Haymon/Pbc will keep in house welterweight round-robin of Spence/Porter/Thurman/Garcia going for at least one or two more years. Spence - assuming He is the pre-crash Spence is a notch above the rest....round-robin already getting old and dull. Crawford is a notch above also....will suck if they never face each other for best at welter!Comment

I get the strange feeling Spence and Crawford don't want to risk fighting Porter and rather put that marination to the side and make the mega fight instead of a war with Porter.Comment

He "expects" to fight the winner of Spence/Garcia.
He "wants" to cash in mandatory on Crawford.
Very easy distinction.
In other words, he thinks Crawford/Arum will duck out. And they probably will.
But the other point Spence said, is that he would be open to Porter AFTER Porter beat Crawford. That's an option too. That would allow Spence to fight Manny.
No joke..Comment

While I'm a fan of Porter he should fight TC. They could fight as early as December. If not I think EJ (provided he gets past Danny)vs. Pac then a showdown with Bud. Porter could sit one out if he doesn't fight Bud first.Comment
