Thurman, Garcia, Andrade and Charlo are also fights that can be made. Porter too.
I don't see Porter ducking Spence. I also think Garcia would take the fight for the right amount of money. The Crawford fight is a MUST happen, more so than a Thurman fight.
GGG has not been avoided.he.has avoided challenges. Look at his 10 year record. He has been happy being undefeated. Until Jacobs and Canelo with only Canelo being only big money fight at end of career. GGG also unfortunate to have poor pool of opponents to choose from. Many of today's Champions have fought and won at multiple weight classes . GGG is too much of a coward.
Back to Spence he wants money and fame and is no coward. In addition he has better pool of opponents.

Coward?
Behave yourself. Triple G is far from a coward.

Where as Spence has been calling out the top guys(Thurman specifically )since 2015. We’re at year 4, already longer than Canelo waited out GGG
Bone spurs is a condition, not an injury as claimed. Surgery is elective. And he chose to time the surgery specifically to avoid. He knew no matter who won Brook/Spence people would call for him to fight the winner, that’s why he chose to have the surgery the week of that fight. It’s no coincidence he had spurs for years and chose to have surgery that week
If you're gonna claim Spence is being avoided by Thurman while saying GGG wasn't avoided by Canelo, I guess we're just gonna have to disagree. I guess you must've forgot how Canelo desperately tried to drag GGG to 154, claiming he himself was not a middleweight. This is about the time when DLH coined the infamous "marinating" term. After a time of avoiding (yes.... that's exactly what he was doing), Canelo forgot he wasn't a middleweight and took a fight with Chavez Jr. at the whopping weight of 170. Oops. There goes the weight excuse. After fans caught on that Canelo could've been fighting at middleweight for YEARS, Canelo had no choice but to agree to fight GGG at 160. But I guess we'll just call that "waiting him out". Meanwhile, Spence may have been "calling the top guys out" since 2015, but he's been a world champion since only last year. Which means there's a relevancy factor that can't be overlooked here. On the other hand, Canelo has had some sort of world championship belt for almost a decade..... and has been physically capable of fighting at 160 for almost that long. So excuse me if we don't share your view on Canelo not avoiding GGG.
