Then of course there's this: https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/01...-fight-at-154/

"Spence Not Expected To Return To 147 After Thurman Fight At 154"



I mean... the man can do what he wants. For whatever reason he's decided to leave 147... that's his choice.

We should've all known that Spence-Crawford was the ultimate smoke screen and/or lights-and-mirrors show... and that it was NEVER going to happen.

Stupid us boxing fans for having even entertained the idea.

Because once Spence moves up to 154 it's "bye-bye Crawford", who hasn't even made his presence well known at 147 after having moved up from 140.

Once again... it's that quintessential phantom, mythical fight that never happens and just leaves everyone in the lurch.

I say fukk 'em.

I hope they both get smoked in their respective divisions.
