A rematch was contracted between the pair prior to the first fight, though in the end talks failed to materialise with both electing to move up to 154lbs.
Now, Crawford has insisted it could still be a possibility in a unification clash at their new weight.
The possibility is there,” Crawford told . “He’s [Spence] fighting [Sebastian] Fundora for his titles [WBO and WBC].
"I’m fighting for a title [Israil Madrimov’s WBA 154lbs title], and there is the possibility.

"He wins his fight, God willing, and I win my fight, God willing, and there’s the possibility.”
Neither fighter has fought since that famous night in Las Vegas, with the event attracting huge interest both commercially and with fans.
The pair had built up a sporting rivalry for several years, but it unfolded in extremely one-sided fashion when they finally graced the squared circle.
Crawford will first fight Madrimov in his first tough challenge at 154lbs on August 3, but is expected he could move up in weight again if he becomes a four-weight world champion.

There could wait pound-for-pound star Canelo Alvarez at 168lbs, who currently holds the undisputed titles.

But picking up a win could be an uphill battle for Crawford who will need to close a significant deficit in size.
Crawford's trainer Brian 'BoMac' McIntyre believes it could be a fitting final bow to take on Alvarez in 2025.
He told : “Bud has got it in him [to defeat Canelo]. I can see him doing it.
"Is it a challenge for him? Of course. Is it a challenge for the whole team?
";Of course, but that’s what we’re in the business for, being great.
"I know that Bud has the tools to beat him. If Bud beats Canelo, we may damn near retire, if you beat the pound-for-pound king. But my mind is on Madrimov."
There are still some hugely exciting fights that lay in wait for the 36-year-old as he approaches the final years of his career.
A sequel with Spence would no doubt catch the eye, but 'The Truth' must deliver a statement in his planned October return against Fundora.
