Spence activates rematch clause.

Rematch will probably happen at 154. Spence may or may not be more competitive... but he gets whupped again.

Activating the clause takes the Canelo-Crawford circus off the boards, at least for now. One less obstacle to allow Canelo to keep avoiding the dangerous opponents in his OWN weight division.

I think Loser activate the rematch. Winner gets to pick the weight. I believe crawford said 154 as he feels he owes spence for giving him his shot so its only fair. I believe spence was supposed to be one of the 3 fights on the PBC contract at a higher weight. Crawford threw a wrench into those plans. Now Canelo fights a charlo. Then there was an empty space. Crawfords not a PBC fighter so Canelo can't really mention his name. (he already said he would only fight crawford at 168 prior to trying to downgrade him recently by saying spence was the only good fighter on his record). So canelo beats charlo and hopes spence avenges his loss at '54 so they can write off the drubbing as being weight drained. So canelo fights him and then maybe benavidez.

Crawford will do what he has to do to spence... The fans will talk the fight up again. Canelo if he gets through the end of his PBC contract will pretend like he doesn't exist or wait him out (crawfords older and already said hes not staying much longer), while talking a bivol rematch, then retirement.

When the dust settles. People will wonder how great crawford could have been if not for bob arum stalling out his career... after trying to scrape some names together for the remainder to put a stamp on his legacy. I feel like spence will be a tragedy, wind up blind in one eye or something and people will be talking about him and when he should have stopped... Canelo will be have a floyd like groupies that will paint him as the best ever then wince every time someone mentions Bivol.

It's really too bad Crawford wasted so many years with Arum. Against Spence we saw a glimpse of just how great Crawford could've been for many more years. Now he's on the downside of his prime. Hopefully he's got a few more big fights left in him. "Boots" Ennis was mentioned, and that would be a great fight. Canelo? Meh. If everything was equal and Bud could fight Canelo at a good weight for both, Crawford would rip Ginger a new one. He's that much more of a better fighter. Regarding Canelo groupies... you've got it pegged correctly. I personally think Canelo avoids Benavidez and rides off into the sunset, claiming ATG status that in my opinion doesn't belong to him. His career was too manufactured for my liking. Too bad Bivol didn't agree to see him again at 175. He would've knocked him out this time around. Spence... well... I feel for the guy. He hasn't got too many outs here. From undefeated and at the top of his fame... to having been thoroughly thrashed by Crawford in convincing fashion. Who knows what's next for Spence...
