weight cutting can be grueling. It can take away a fighter's gas tank and make them more susceptible to getting KO'd. That's surely why Spence is pushing for the rematch at 154.

I take your point about Boots. He just turned 26 and could use a couple more years of seasoning and then get Crawford at 37 or 38. If that opportunity still exists by then. If not, there will be another formidable foe waiting in the wings. That's how the game has always worked.
