    The logical next step is for the WBA and WBO champion to unify at 147

    Spence is going to be out for a while.

    His first fight back won’t be a unification, it’ll be a tuneup.

    He might also have to make mandatory defenses.

    It seems likely that the WBA and WBO welterweight champions will have AT LEAST two fights before Spence is ready. With mandatories it could be way more than two.

    So doesn’t it make sense for the WBA and WBO welterweight champions to unify sometime after 2021, since the other two titles are essentially shelved for the moment?

    How long will Spence be out of commission? How do you know this?

      I doubt Haymon would allow Ugas to be pitted against Crawford unless the latter moves to PBC...

        Make Boots Ennis vs Abdukakhoriv for the IBF , and Thurman vs Vergil or Garcia for WBC

          It seems Pacquiao's last fight would be against Crawford.

          Spence lucked out.

            I’m assuming Crawford signs with PBC and then he gets Ugas/Manny winner should he beat Porter.

            It would be very frustrating if he beat Porter and then was put in some BS easy optional defense.
