    AL HAYMON DOES NOT THINK SPENCE STANDS A CHANCE.

    That is what's going on. Al is refusing to be transparent because he thinks Spence will get embarrassed. Hes giving Crawford a contract that only a fool would sign. Because again, he knows that Spence cant beat him.

    Spence is a protected fighter. Al is looking out for him. Spence is perpetuating a fraud. Hes selling to the public a bunch of BS because the skills aren't there. He gets schooled.

    One of the biggest and most obvious ducks that I can remember. How can you ask a man to sign a contract that you wont even let him read? **** Al Haymon.

    It feels like both guys are probably done with boxing if they lose this fight, so the petty grievances over the smallest piece of the pie makes sense. They'll both end up with less the longer it goes. Cutting off the nose to spite the face at this point.

    Neither man would be done with boxing. Both would still be big names in the division or above.

    I don't see a lot of hunger for legacy in 36 year old Crawford or 33 year old car crash cattle ranching Spence. They've both made a lot of money. Neither seems like a fight til' the wheels fall off kinda guy.

    I dont know. What I do know is Haymon doesnt respect Crawford. And Haymon doesn't think Spence can beat him.

    I know right, what a weak move claiming Racism, while Bob on the other hand had been raving on & on about him being better over the likes of Hagler, Ali, Pacquiao,

    He was getting paid handsomely by Arum by the way for fighting that weak ass comp.

    This is what boxing has come down to. Fighters ducking each other or acting like prima donnas.

    How is Spence the protected one. His resume shuts all over Crawford’s. I think they just need more time to build it up since it’s actually a great fight but neither guy is too popular.

    Typical of boxing nowadays. I knew these two wouldn't fight. What a joke. Maybe one of them can make a fight with Chris Algieri
