Comments Thread For: Spence: I'm Not Worried About Crawford; I Don't Know What He Was Doing Here

[Drigo]

Crawford would be satisfied as "self proclaimed fighter" if he dont leave arum. Spence obviously has been in a lot better competition...

[paranoidandroid]

Yeah, but it's become crystal clear that neither of these two really wants to fight the other. Spence admits as much by saying that he doesn't plan to show up at any of TC's fights and Bud admits as much by not stepping up to the ring yesterday and throwing down the gauntlet before Spence. Nobody would have stopped him, and if they did try, he at least makes his point that he unequivocally wants the fight. The point would have been made and the public pressure is immediately on Spence and PBC to make the fight happen. Opportunity squandered, so I don't want to hear either one of these guys blaming the other. I'm just about ready for the next generation of WWs. Bring on Jarron Ennis and Vergil Ortiz Jr.

👏agreed. im 100% ready to move on from these 2 cowards. i personally think Ennis will take over WW and i'll be in the stands rooting for him

They both need reality checks. They need each other to be honest. Too bad its the fans fault that this stuff happens!

[PBR Streetgang]

This is all about pride right here. Two guys who see themselves as the top-dog and don't want to concede anything...I'm sure Bud thinks he'd wax Spence and Errol thinks he'd beat Terrance, no fear on either side. That same pride is why they each want the lions share in the split.

Can't see how this fight happens without a live gate. The revenue potential needs to be big enough for all parties to swallow some of their pride for the sake of money. Then you have to get the promotional banners to agree on something. Assuming Bud stays with Top Rank, Spence and PBC have more options - fights against Thurman or Pac at 147 or moving up to 154 and facing some of many fighters PBC has there. Bud is probably staying at 147 so he'd need some of Arum's 140lbers to come up and challenge him. Of course this all changes if Crawford jumps to a different promotional banner...

Unless Haymon gets Pacquiao next for Spence I think he's gonna think about heading up to 154.

Correct! If Pacquiao fights Spence next year and Erroll wins he is moving up in weight. He is not going to wait around for a Terence Crawford to make up his mind on whether or not he still wants to fight. Unless Crawford signs with the PBC then it won't be no fight. It's just that plain and simple.

Spence is avoiding Crawford and looks to be avoiding Thurman also. He needs to fight Crawford NEXT..people are now getting fed up of waiting for these big fights to happen, this marinating garbage is getting old!

[james240]

This is one of the those fights that will never happen to much politics, egos and obstacles.

[TITOS HOOK]

Leave Pacquaio alone

It's a damn shame that all of these young bucks who proclaim themselves to be top dog and the best in their division..as soon as they win a fight the first person they call for is a 40 year old politician who moonlights as a fighter.

Then when Pac whips their asses they wonder why.

I really hope it doesn't but if a Pac vs Spence fights jumps off and Pac finds a way to grind out a decision against Spence?! THEN PAC IS A ******** LIVING LEGEND G.O.A.T.

[JakeTheBoxer]

It is the only real fight at 147.

Porter, Danny, Ugas, Mikey are fine, but they are gatekeepers. Pacquiao is on his way out.

If I don`t get Crawford - Spence in 2021, I am done with 147 for a long time.

[_Rexy_]

Bud's the idiot! Erroll doesn't need him. If he really wants the fight badly enough, then he knows what he must do. It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon to figure that one out.

Once Spence is done unifying all the titles at the PBC then he is done at welterweight. I can see him moving up in weight.

So if Crawford is truly serious and wants to fight him as badly as he says he does then he better make that move as soon as possible because time is running out.

Within a little more than a year I can see Spence vacating the welterweight division and moving up in weight to a 154 LBS.

Pac is a free agent now, so you’re saying you’d rather see Spence pull a duck move and go to 154 now?
