A bit harsh, IMO.

1. He just got to 147. Two fights at welter does not constitute a wealth of experience there.

2. There are plenty of 147-pounders who have been there for awhile who ARE ducking Spence, and should have first dibs. The Spence-Crawford showdown will occur in due time. We fans are a desperate lot.

3. Even Spence should be calling out his fellow 147-pounders and let the spectre of that showdown grow.

4. Crawford fought top-notch opposition during his reign at 140. Why accuse him of ducking Spence as soon as he puts his foot in at 147, or assume he's not gonna want to face him?

A bit harsh, IMO.
