    Those fighters themselves may not be coward but their teams, managers, boxing institutions, and others who are involved are the factors delaying big fights.

    Porter has called out Spence several times.

    Yes but they go out their way to fight each other in order to avoid Spence imo.

    It’s not a good look though either way in what looks a great division.

    If any division called for a tourney it’s this one.

    That’s your opinion. My perception is that Danny is getting better, especially in the Porter fight. He was stronger, hit harder, more accurate. Porter three more punches, very few landing solid.

    Garcia narrowly lost to Porter and Thurman so he is a poor fighter.... Harsh. He could have just as easily got the nod in both and he'd be unified and no. 1 in this division.

    Mikey and Crawford were 5 lbs apart for 2+ years and I don't remember him rushing out to find Crawford. Mikey has fought Crawford and he knows what that package looks like. He, and apparently his management, believe they can beat Spence. Maybe that says a lot about what they think of both fighters

    You lose credibility when you flat out lie. At no time was Benavidez in a position to beat Crawford. He might have won 3 rounds in the bout and he did a face plant in the middle of the ring when he finally decided to fight Crawford. Styles make fights and two counter punchers don't make for a good fight. It was Crawford who had to push what action there was. When Benavidez finally decided to fight it went less than 1 round

    If they are at least facing one another, then I can't really complain if Spence isn't in the immediate mix. I get what you are saying, but sometimes it's a matter of bad timing as well.

    Benevidez was on one good leg. He shuffled around the ring. Crawford STILL couldn't put him away until he gassed out . On that performance I think calling Craw3ford a "Cold Eyed Assassin" is a big stretch
    BTW I never said Benevidez had a chance of winning. I jus admired his courage to do as well as he did, He had no chance with that leg
    A 100% Margarito stops Crawfo0rd
