    Perhaps it's been an option for a while now, and people have talked about the possibility, both fighters are now finally think of making the fight a reality. Personally I'd love Spence to win considering he's from my Hometown and I've had the privilege to see his talent grow ever since he fought for the Golden Gloves here in Dallas in 2010, but Crawford would be his toughest opponent to date and will test what Spence Jr is really made of.

    Who do y'all have winning this great fight?

    Spence simply because of size. I think that at the moment Crawford is better p4p by a significant margin.

    I'll be rooting for Crawford. We need him. He's the only fighter from the USA right now that's not ducking anyone and actually winning fights against foreigners. USA is the laughing stock of boxing right now. Terence Crawford is the best fighter we got. If Crawford is even willing to take a fight with Spence that just proves what I'm trying to get at. He has not nearly as much to gain as he does to lose. Spence is bigger, not even a belt holder, hasn't accomplished nearly as much, not super well known yet. Spence is a super risky fight with just a medium sized reward. If Crawford does get in there with Spence though and Wins, for me that'd put him at #1 P4P. Spence is a tough son of a gun, this would be a hell of a fight

    I can't really find much on it, any source for talks on this? I can see it being made only when Spence gets a title, so assuming he gets in there with Brook wins. Seems like it'll be too much of a risk for Crawford right now though with no belt on the line. Spence is a lot bigger, 50/50 if it takes place right now, need to see more of Spence against top guys.

    From what I saw from both, I think Crawford would win, though I wouldn't put any money on it. It would be a great fight.

    Crawford is the better boxer but I can't help but think he gets clipped and dropped in this match. Smart money is on Crawford.

    Spence talks about Brook here.

    Sorry it's at the scene.

    Brook, winner of Garcia v Thurman and Pacquiao.

    There is literally 0 chance of this fight happening. Arum fighters only fight other Arum fighters. Who else does Arum have at junior welterweight? That's who Crawford will be fighting next.

    I know he mentioned Burns but surely not. Crawford has no need to fight a guy he already beat easily.
