    Yes.

    Crawford will end up in a dog fight with Spence and I favor Spence in that. I don't think his eye will ever be good again so if it's questionable I've got Crawford.

    Watching Crawford tonight and he has it all Great Chin Huge punch and handles most fighters well....Whoever fights Him has to take Him out of His comfort Zone and Control the fight....Don't know if even Spence can do that will be a great fight though.!!!

    I think Spence should fight Ugas first then deal with Bud before he leaves Welterweight.

    I like Spence a lot more and was favoring him or a while, but I think his body would let him down. The car crash was one thing and now he added an eye injury to that. I think Crawford would win right now.

    Maybe you're under rating Crawford. Can you name one fighter that has looked good in beating Porter? Spence may very well get a victory over Crawford if and when they meet, but nothing tonight proved that it would be a guaranteed win.

    Never been impressed with Spence. Just big lumbering WW. Crawford got the swag, slick and mean streak in him. Also the power to hurt any welterweight in the game including spence imo. So considering all this. I think he beats Spence it will be a beating.

    We can say all this what if we want but Spence won’t fight him.

    Pretty sure Crawford’s ducking. It took him all these years just to fight one of Spence’s leftovers

    Besides it being a SD, I never had Porter ahead of Spence in their fight. His performance against Porter was better than Crawford's.

    Lol, You need to checkout the Kell Brook fight. But seriously, regardless of who's ducking, it will be a stain on both their careers if they don't fight each other in their prime.

    Spence won a split decision vs Porter, Bud stops him and was up on all cards, yet Spence is elevated above Crawford based on that? Say that out loud one time, then explain how in the world that makes sense.

    I hope so, Porter is a dog...Spence will be alot more manageable for Bud

    I don't know what form Spence is in. Horrible crash, retina injury, a lot of inactivity, possibly more alcohol in the interim, etc. I'd favor Crawford to find a way to pull it out, but if Spence is the same fighter who beat Garcia, it's still a very competitive fight.

    porter is a 35 yo welter that relies on activity and explosiveness. he fought spence more than 2 years ago. spence is 31, peak prime years.
