I prefer one of those fights as I want to see Crawford v Spence before the fight sours or someone comes in
Overconfident and loses. I say have a tourney with Manny vs Thurman, Garcia vs Spence, and Crawford vs Porter. Have the winners fight and eventually crown an undisputed champ. No matter what though, Manny has earned a gimme fight at this point and NONE of those guys (Thurman, Porter, Garcia) are bums or gimme fights.
Maybe i missed something, but I dont think anyone is saying those guys are bad fights for Manny. In fact all 3 would be great pick em fights. Most were just saying Spence vs Crawford is THE fight to be made, not just in the division, but in the sport right now. Thurman, having beaten the other 2 guys you mention, is obviously a credible challenger to Spence or Crawford also, but Im just not sure he wants THAT SMOKE His being off for so long with a pretty questionable injury, then getting hurt so bad last time against Lopez makes me doubt it at least.

Theres no question its still a good division with legit guys, but Its always annoying when there is a fight that is far and away the best to be made that isnt clamored for.
