    Bradley is right. This reminds me of when Floyd ducked Pac. All Pac kept saying was that he will take any test and Floyd would constantly move the goalpost. All Crawford keeps saying is that he wants the fight, but Spence has mentioned A-Side, across the street nonsense, how Crawford has nobody to fight, how he's going to take the easier fight (Shawn Porter), etc..

    Same in both situations.

    Arum has the one piece of the puzzle that Haymon. And so when that one piece is froze out it looks like he's avoided.
    When in reality he just should've reconsidered his promotional ties when he moved up to WW

    The thing is, Arum has worked with Haymon in recent times. Gvozdyk-Stevenson is just one example. Arum offered Mikey, Danny, and Broner career high pay days to fight Pacquiao. They all declined.

    It's not Arum. It's not even Gaymon. It's Spence.

    have we not yet learned that career high paydays means squat yet? is it not obvious enough yet that what matters to challengers is an equitable piece of the pie? career high pay days only matter to fighters who have no other options to go to where they want to be.

    Spence ducking Crawford, lol. What has Crawford done to make Spence nervous in any way? I mean, who has this guy fought? I think Provodnikov must have been waiting for Bradley in the walmart parking lot and punched him upside the head again.

    The same can be said about Spence. What has he done? I'll tell you what he has done. Fought bums, fighters who are too small, and drained fighters with one eye.

    I'm not a fan of Crawford or Spence. That said, Crawford is a stylistic nightmare for Spence. And I think Crawford hits harder and faster. Crawford KOs him.

    Where did I make the claim that Spence has done anything? Neither guy needs to be talked about as if they are elite fighters because neither guy has proven a thing as of yet, although they both stand out as potential great fighters.Spence fighting Porter will be more than Crawford has done to this point, by far. So for Bradley to say something so stupid is ridiculous and I will say it again, what has Crawford done that would make Spence duck him? Maybe getting rocked by Gamboa or fighting a guy with one leg.

    Bradley has no credibility here he's boys with crawford. The funny thing about it is Bradley ducked Crawford.

    Exactly and crawford imo shares more of the blame for re-signing with arum in the 1st place when he knew haymon had all the key players at 147. That in itself could be seen as a duck.
