People forget that Spence can request an extension.
PBC and Showtime might be afraid that Crawford won't honor it.
additional mileage...i fully believe spence is taxed...and its not just crawford who i think can beat him either..every fight of his after porter is more mileage added on
eddie def wants a heavyweight champion back in his foldLike I said before, can't really blame them.
Espinoza mentioned that things can be negotiated. IMO If I`m spence I'd let Bud chase his dreams of 3x undisputed and then try to catch Bud end of 24 with at least 2 prior 154 fights so I (Spence) can grow into the weight + work on some things. Spence looking good at 154 could re-spark folks even wanting to pay for this.
He never thought about fighting Canelo. Spence always has. If Spence is easy for him to beat, then he should have the same thinking going against Canelo..with his speed and better timing. Canelo still hits hard though. Spence didn't hit Crawford with any of his usual shyt...could be different with Canelo.
That's why I never bought into all these jabronis saying he was aging him out. He's been in no tough fights since Gamboa.The chances of him sliding are incredibly small. Dude lives the lifestyle of a fighter. No drinking. No smoking. Very little partying.
They ask him what he ate after the fight because of the difficulty he had making weight. He said he had a slice of pizza.
Spence was the one who took on the real names.
That's a huge gamble. At that point Crawford would be 37. Do you think he would be interested in a rematch by that time?
It only makes sense, especially with Fury dragging his big ass feet. Other than Wilder, it seems like Hearn has the rest of the formidable HWs so why not throw all of them at Usyk? Maybe something still stick.

When I got the call, there’s nothing that I could say other than jump on it,” Charlo explained. “Let’s go. And let’s get it. Because my whole career, it’s been about almost chasing Canelo.

Straight from the horses mouth. The majority of these guys just sat around doing nothing waiting on that canelo payday. Fighting bum after bum cause they were afraid to lose that golden ticket. At least jermell still made great fights for himself in the meantime. That's why he actually deserves it. A lot of these dudes wasted their whole careers waiting for canelo to come calling. shyt is sad.

Jermell Charlo didn’t think twice when Al Haymon called him about boxing Canelo Alvarez. Accepting this task required Charlo to move up two weight classes, a total of 14 pounds, and to end what will be a 16-month layoff against the toughest opponent of his 15-year professional career. This is a...

Didn't I say this last week?
People can debate if he's still the best or not until the cows come home. But there's is no denying he's still the face of boxing.
Any fighter between 147 and 175 will jump on it quick as hell if they got that call saying something is lining up with Canelo.

I mean even the number 1 p4p fighter on the planet is officially chasing him. shyt is wild. Canelo is essentially the mountain top for all these guys. And a lot of em sacrificed their entire careers to reach that mountain top. With zero shame. That's why I have no sympathy for em. They took no kind of pride in their legacy whatsoever.Didn't I say this last week?

David and Andrade seem to finally understand that if they want that opportunity they have to go through eachother. It their fight doesn't go through fukk em both. But overall I'm happy jermell got it. He took on all comers regardless and the boxing gods blessed him.

On top of that we're not even talking about the actual beating that Spence took. To take that kind of beating even at 20 years old could be career altering. But to take that at 33 when you already have crazy miles on you. I don't see Spence ever coming back the same. Physically or mentally. That's the kind of beating you never fully recover from.The chances of him sliding are incredibly small. Dude lives the lifestyle of a fighter. No drinking. No smoking. Very little partying.

Bud already had the mental edge over him going into the first fight. Now that Spence KNOWS bud can dog walk him like that, he stands zero chance outside of a Danny Garcia no look haymaker. And buds too great to get caught with something like that.
