Comments Thread For: Spence-Ugas Title Unification in Play; Stanionis Agrees To Step Aside, Will Next Face Butaev

[✔ (Low- )]

Ugas wins this..love Errol,but this is a disaster of a match for him. This ugas guy is an absolute problem in there..kinda of weird, because he looks so beatable,he is a very smart boxer. He got IT later in his career..Very Bernard Hopkinsesque.

Crawford, Boots, Ortiz all available, Spence fought real hard to get Ugas instead.

For years the Spence fans suggesting everything was Crawford's fault. Well, Crawford fought a PBC guy first like you called for, and now he left Arum like you all wanted. But still Spence doesn't fight him. I can't think any other fighter who gets defended like Spence. When Canelo moves to a new weight, people say "why doesn't he fight the number 1 guy instantly instead of cherry picking?" but Spence has been in the same division his whole career and still only facing the 4th or 5th best guy at the weight.

Crawford for sure but Ennis and Ortiz make no sense as they aren't champions. And it was Haymon that fought real hard. With the chequebook. Spence does what he's told. Will Haymon show the same energy afterwards for an undisputed fight. Only if Crawford signs a multi fight deal, most probably.

He didn't make Fury sign a multi-fight deal for Wilder! I hope that's the case for Crawford!

All these Jr Titles need to go! Tank Davis and Haney can't be called champions when there's a unified champion at 135. This is a joke

[Jab jab boom]

Crawford about to be left out in the cold again. These two will fight, then this nobody who just stepped aside will get his shot. So best case scenario is Crawford vs Spence in 2023. SMH. The only somewhat decent fights for Crawford at 147 would be Danny Garcia, Thurman after he faces barrios and Taylor if he moves up.

Fury wasn't a free agent. The closest similarity would be Canelo vs Plant. But very different also. Crawford is a free agent like Canelo, but doesn't bring anywhere near the same revenue on his end. Spence is the bigger draw, but Haymon already has him. So is he going to risk 3 world titles to a top drawer fighter, that doesn't generate as much financially and if Spence loses, those belts are gone? I can't see it. Plant only had 1 to lose, was not a big draw and was most likely gonna lose to someone else anyways. Canelos pulling power made it hard to resist. Not to mention that after OKing an undisputed fight at 154, to not do so for Plant would have been a really bad look. But he wont feel that in a Spence Crawford situation. Way more to lose, and most PBC followers already believe it's Crawford that is the excuse maker, so the seed is already well planted. I hope I'm wrong of course, as I'd love to see it as much as the next man, but that's my thoughts I suppose.

Fellows, things never go as predicted in boxing.

Make my words, we will never get a full undisputed fight at 147. Things just don`t go that way.

How many undisputed fights have been at 147 since 4 belts exist?

ZERO.

And you guys think that Crawford will fight Spence for 4 belts.

Well, it won`t happen, this story won`t go that way, something will happen, Spence will lose to Ugas, Ugas will lose to somebody else, or Spence will move up to 154...

Or Haymon might trip and **** his head. Wake up thinking he's Eddie Hearn, and go out and actually make the biggest fight in world boxing.

To keep it 100%, i'm not really interested in any Welterweight Championship fights that does not include Jaron "Boots" Ennis! At this point, I would be more excited to see Spence vs. Boots than Spence vs. Ugas, and Spence vs. Crawford! Funny how Spence hates Thurman for putting him on ice, but he's doing the same to Boots!

I totally agree with you on a Boots fight.Even though Boots doesn't have a belt,to me he the best fighter in the division.He knocks out the whole welterweight division and they know it as well

[Rodtang]

Seems like butaev is getting screwed here. Won his eliminator and now needs to fight another before getting a shot at the real champ.

Yeah that's what I thought. Haymon will have smoothed it over with Schafer on the Stanionis part easily enough, but Haymon and DiBella have fallen out apparently, so shafting Butaev will not upset him lol.

Spence vs. Crawford was HOT when I felt they were the 2 best in the division! That's no longer the case, since Boots stepped on the scene!
