    ^ Thurman and Garcia, 110%. But I do think Porter is a fighter and would take on anybody at 147, I really do. Nothing about his resume to indicate otherwise. And he's not the type that gets tongue twisted and contradicts himself all the time when it comes to the sport, politics, matchmaking, and opposition (as Thurman and Garcia have). I just think he also knows the promotional battles so there isn't really a point, or one that his own promoter would appreciate, in following around and calling out Crawford yet. But I think he would fight him. And between Thurman, Garcia, and Porter, I think Porter is the last of the three that Arum would want Crawford to face.

    The issue with Floyd is the undeniable truth that he avoided his most dangerous contemporaries until the circumstances hugely favoured him.

    He’s never fought the best at their best and that hurts his legacy, hard to hear but it’s the truth that everyone knows even if they’d rather not admit it.

    This is on a tangent from the original topic, but there's one thing we do know: the man apparently has more money than he could ever spend in ten lifetimes ... yet has been offering reasons as to why he can't pay a $29 million tax bill.

    http://uk.businessinsider.com/ap-mayweather-has-history-of-tax-woes-7m-from-2010-unresolved-2017-7

    With this very firmly in mind, is your stated figure from after Mr. Mayweather has been browbeaten into paying his taxes, or before?

    People who buy into how much Floyd Mayweather is worth based purely upon his say so and the say so of the snivelling sycophants he has surrounded himself with should consider reading 'The Emperor's New Clothes': It's very interesting stuff. :thumbsup:

    Crawford vs Spence is a great fight but both those dudes are operating on a level or two above everyone else

    Bump.

    Spence vs Crawford would be a great fight ... if it ever actually happened, that is. :confused:

    Kambosis, he may just clean out the division. He came from sparring partner to Manny Pacquiao to champ of the world with an emphatic first round against Lopez using the great philosophy of cus D'Amato: hit him with something devastating in the first round to make him think twice and get the mental advantage going.
