    I have a feeling that the best two American fighters by far currently will be cleverly pushed away from each other and this fight will never happen.

    Fights like this never seem to happen. Both will probably price themselves out. And I think Crawford is HBO and Spence is Showtime. Not holding my breath:yikes:

    Spence wants it. I'm not sure Terrence is ready, but Bob Arum will make it when he thinks Terrence is ready. Maybe after Terrence tests the waters a little at ww.

    I think it will happen. Saline Junior's 5 year ducking of Pacquiao has made the public far more aware, and less tolerant, of duckers.

    I doubt he'll get strong enough wi-fi to stream live at the summit of some tibetan mountain but he can always catch it on youtube if/when he ever returns to civilisation.

    Not happening. Despite the bravado he displayed on his way up the ladder, repeatedly stating he wasn’t “afraid to let his 0 go,” Thurman will string Spence along until the end of 2019. This is best case scenario, with Thurman aiming to stress Spence’s body by subjecting him to having to remain at WW longer than he probably should.

    By that time, Spence will move to 154 and leave Bud behind at WW.

    Doubt if it will happen...............Spence is overrated, but I don't know how good Crawford will be at 147 yet, want to see him fight Thurman, would also like to see him fight Porter...........

    Would bet on Spence easily. Crawford is good but not that good to overcome a guy who’s a weight class or 2 above him who’s also equal in skill. Crawford Thurman is more interesting. Kell Brook would beat Crawford.

    I’d like to see Crawford vs Vargas, that’ll be a good test.

    Crawford is promoted by Top Rank and they have a deal with ESPN. But Arum said after the Loma fight that they can easily make deals with Al Haymon / Showtime.

    It'll happen and Spence has no chance. Bud is on another level.

    This is definitely one of the best fights that can be made in boxing. When you think that in 2017 we've had Ward vs Kovalev, Golovkin vs Alvarez & Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux. We've been pretty blessed with p4p fighters facing each other.
