Comments Thread For: Spence: I'm On Verge Of Cleaning Out 147, I've Fought Better Foes Than Crawford

[Timur78]

Spence would rather move to 154lbs rather than fight Crawford.

Crawford has just as good a chance of winning a 154 title as Spence.

At 154...if Crawford still looks strong, Spence will keep avoiding him.

None of those fighters listed are mentioned more than Crawford. At this point u can't say Spence w/o Crawford and vice versa.

Spence is clearly the man at welterweight

Spence already beat Porter and knocked him down. I also don't see Crawford vs Porter getting done until Crawford signs with PBC. Pac's team has reached out to Spence already so I'm thinking he wants to cash out in the biggest $$$ and PPV fight at WW. U have some valid points about the others though. Imho.

Yeah, but they reached out to Crawford, and McCregor too! Spence needs to be in the ring in April, May the latest!

It’s so funny when fans actually think Spence is afraid to fight Crawford or vice versa. Does anyone notice how Spence & Bud fight, they are always in the pocket coming forward, not afraid of being knocked out. That fight will happen, Bud and Spence aren’t afraid of each other, it’s silly to even suggest that.

That's a lovely story but you have just put a business slant on why Spence is ducking Crawford. But at the end of the day Spence is ducking Crawford.

All that matters is Spence is ducking Crawford which makes him a ducker.

I love both fighters and understand the process. U can say one's ducking the other all day but it ain't happening until end of next year regardless.

how can crawford be better when he hasn't fought near their level of competition.

Didn’t Crawford just beat Kell Brook? Didn’t Kell Brook beat Shawn Porter. How can you say that he hasnt fought near the level of competition of those two with just that one fact alone. And you can look at how a fighter operates in the ring to guage their level also. And you can’t just subtract all of the work that Crawford did in his previous lower weight classes.

So Crawford resigned with Top Rank knowing every other relevant welter was with PBC but Spence is ducking him?

So Spence unified half of the welterweight belts and has three successful PPVs under his belt and Crawford says he gets 60% or no fight but it’s Spence who’s ducking him? Ridiculous!

Acting like what the fighters said to a reporter is a failed negotiations is just a shaky foundation for a weak excuse. If they both say 60/40 then that means they would probably end up with 50/50 in an actual negotiation. And Crawford has more followers on Twitter than Spence does for whatever thats worth.

[rickJen]

Yeah. Everyone thought the car crash would somehow give him a sense of urgency.
It's like nothing happened.

Did he mention re-matching Porter?
Man this fella really want no part of Crawford.

perfectly said !!!! i dont really think anyone is ducking anyone here so to speak, its more of top rank vs PBC and Crawfords inability to figure this out is his downfall. Spence has options crawford has well ?? a lot of euro fighters to fight lol..... not knocking Crawford but its the truth!!!

bob arum calls out this guy then this guy as Crawfords next fight yet he ends up fighting a euro bum or some guy that is shop warn to death like kell brook or Benavidez jr...... ( no matter what kell said ("im in the best shape ever etc...") he was shop warn 2 broken orbital bones prove it and Benavidez well him hobbling on 1 leg proved that)
