    Because he's not in quite as much denial about his health and well-being as some of his fanboys are.

    Because Crawford put him through his third car wreck while stealing his manhood and making him question his poor life choices.

    A comprehensive, one-sided beating over nine rounds tends to make people a little apprehensive about fighting again.

    PBC are in the toilet, so it´s hard to get a date.

    Put a fork in Spence. Sad really, my expectations for him were high.

    Hello CTS80. How do you see a fight between Spence and Crawford going pre car crash and if Spence stayed away from the drink? I still see Crawford putting a beating on him.

    Spence suffers from T.B.I.

    Traumatic brain injury doesn't produce rational thoughts like that. Spence doesn't know why he's so inactive. Two car crashes and a life altering beating, not to mention rampant alcoholism have damaged his brain.

    Spence is shot to bits and the pbc are struggling like no tomorrow. I heard the boss Haymon isn't very well.

    Isn't he scheduled to fight Fundora? And I don't mean Fundora's sister.

    Spence hasn’t fought since Crawford I because Crawford is ducking him. What Crawford needs to understand is that Spence is the Aside and should receive the larger portion of the purse and that Crawford is on the wrong side of the street and such.

    Same, Crawford would always be an issue for him.

    Because he is done.
    He had a great career but nothing is forever.
