    To all the Spence fans calling for Crawford to fight Spence at 154.

    I remember when Kell Brook called for a 2nd Spence fight at 154. Spence automatically disregarded a fight not at 147.

    I don't remember any Spence fans calling for Errol to fight brook at 154.

    Crawford is doing the exact same thing Spence was doing. Difference is Spence now has no power to dictate the terms.

    Pretty obvious he wants a challenge rather than dishing out another pointless beating so making spence fight at that weight means he is less likely to take the rematch so bud can move on.

    When was Spence's prime? V Kell Brook? If Kell hadn't been good boy'ed in the fight before he would have had Spence outta there in 9.

    the veracity of this claim or lack thereof does not effect the objective fact that Tyson Fury is a disgrace to the heavyweight division. Spin spin spin all you like. your boy is a clown. a charlatan.

    Crawford knows the rematch is pointless and so does Spence

    this stance allows Crawford to move on to bigger and better things, and let’s Spence avoid a second beating but retain his dignity

    come on guys this is box

    Again…you’ve completed ducked the question I’ve asked. Please explain the following:
    Why does Crawford want to fight Spence at 147 not 154, but is happy to go to 168 to fight Canelo and has also said he was going to move up to fight the Charlie…give me a reason because it sounds like the only reason is it’s because Spence is compromised at 147

    Where at any point did I say Spence beat a prime Brook? Brook was damaged goods when he fought Spence. It was a very even (in fact Brook was winning after the early rounds) fight up until the cut.

    That is mental gymnastics to the extreme. Like, what? Do you actually believe what you’ve just wrote there?

    The facts are Crawford will only fight Spence at 147 knowing Spence is compromised at that weight. He doesn’t want to fight Spence at 154 because he knows Spence will at least not be drained. This here is obvious stuff. Not so he can move onto another challenge lmao (fighting broken past it & CLEARLY drained Brook, nutshotting a past prime Khan and fighting part time commentator Porter is not “challenging himself”). That and he will still get a good purse fighting Spence

    Ppl talking about a rematch is pointless are dumb Spence is still the best win and biggest money fight bud can make at 147/54 besides Mell.
    Spence is a decorated enough champion that if he wants to try to avenge his first loss it’s be no reason why he shouldn’t be able to. Bud during the first fight put on one of the greatest showing of this era why not see if it’s a fluke or if he can do it again?
    You would think no great fighter in history has ever been beaten up and came back and keep being great or even won a rematch?? This era has gotten soft.

    I gained a lot of respect for bud after the Spence win but how he’s been acting afterwards, you can’t tell he never had no GREAT win before Spence despite his accolades because bud been crying his a$s off since the fight.

    Who gives a ****, he already smashed him to pieces in the first fight. Nobody wants this rematch - the contract both alpha male elite sportsman millionaires under advisement from managerial staff and strength and conditioning staff signed, states that the winner choses the weight class. So he chooses it. I'm sure his preference, like that of most right-thinking people, is that Spence rebuilds at 154lbs with a softer one, and the victor, Crawford, fights Boots or Tim Tszyu.

    Is Crawford not using the rematch clause at 147 as a bargaining tool to get a bigger slice of the pie if he agrees to 154?
    Can't blame him if that's the case.

    Spence is gonna get smashed again at either weight
