    And if Ugas stays as the WBA champion? Perfect for Crawford to go and grab another belt and this way he would have two and Spence would have two if he beats Pacquiao. Now, if they reinstate Pacquiao as the super champ? I'd still like to see that fight. They have amateur history and Ugas is a quality fighter. I think Crawford does well in that fight though and beats Ugas up in the later rounds. Make it happen!
    I don’t think Ugas would be too expensive either. Surely TR could make that fight if they really wanted to.

      I'd actually love to see Porter vs Ennis. No one has an easy time with Porter and I suspect Ennis would have some rough moments but he has the ability to go to another level in that fight. It would be great for his future potential match ups vs Spence and/or Crawford.
      I should’ve used *should instead of *could.

        It’s looking like Jermell will be undisputed at 154 this year. He might consider a move to 154 to try and accomplish undisputed in two weight classes?

        I think his contract with Arum expires in October. It will be interesting to see who he signs with.
        He has to sign with PBC. It’s a no brainier IMO.

          porters been active and the only thing thurman has been working is his mouth

          I would pick Porter to win and that basically confirms thurman's career on the downhill and never coming back.

            I guess it depends on what is considered being too expensive? He would want 7 figures surely but he wouldn't be commanding Porter/Thurman/Spence/etc money.

            I'm suspecting TR is not going to give Crawford any somewhat high priced fight unless he re-signs. I think that was one of the reasons they didn't even pursue the Porter fight. Because what if he lost? Heck, what if he won and then left TR for PBC or Matchroom? He's not getting the Taylor fight for sure unless he signs an extension.

              Not a smart move for Keith after his first career loss and 2 years of inactivity. You need to be at 100% to beat a fighter like Porter and that goes for anybody!

                RJJ-94-02=GOAT Well damn, this is a good match up but then you can cross out two more potential opponents for Crawford lol.

                At this point, Crawford should just take a fight vs Josesito Lopez or someone of that caliber and then get ready for the Spence/Pacquiao winner for later this year.

                  Crawford is f***ed.

                  I like Ugas in this matchup, I think he wins a wide decision and over Garcia.

                    Bro...pbc might schedule abdukharov with ennis or something. There would literally no names left for crawford in the wbo rankings to fight. It means 100% he's fighting a bum next since josh taylor is fighting Catterall next.

                      Josesito Lopez was one of the rumored opponents for Crawford.

                      Again, I just don't see Arum getting Crawford a big or decently high priced fight unless he signs an extension. There is a reason he keeps killing him in the media. ZERO percent chance he gets the Taylor fight without an extension.

                      Crawford can just either just wait it out for Spence should he beat Pacquiao or take a tune up fight in the meantime.
