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

[The Big Dunn]

While haymon deserves some credit for making the better matchup for fans, still isn’t the Spence/Crawford fight we all want.

The winner of this fight needs to fight Crawford next.

As much as I want pbc to do the right thing I have a bad feeling in my gut.we will get Crawford / Thurman and Spence going to 154 next and not get the fight we all want.

Hope I’m wrong.

I'm a hater because I want him to face the best for the first time in his 10 year career? Maybe I'm tired of all the excuses "gotta fight Mikey cause Mikey called him out, gonna fight the best after this though". Years later and still waiting. 3 great opponents ready to go, why didn't he offer any of them a fight? Why don't you want the best to fight each other? Makes no sense besides coming off as a boxing hater.

You guys love fights like Spence vs Mikey and Spence vs Danny because you know going in that he'd win. It's just a showcase. You also know he beats Ugas, but not sure he beats Crawford, so you want the Ugas fight.

Only fighter you mentioned that can be considered the best besides ugas right now is Crawford…. I’m still trying understand the issue with unification with ugas? Crawford just became a free agent and going shop his services around to get best deal possible..Ortiz and boots going off eye test they just started stepping up they competition they are not a better fight then a ugas fight atm

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

Seems Spencer is doing good after that super serious career ending eye injury.

Funny you never questioned Manny or Loma when they came back. I wonder why?

I guess if Spence’s last name was Spenceachenko or Spenciqau you’d have a different take.

Will be interesting to see what Bud does if Spence/Ugas is next. Now that Arum isn’t running things for him he can try and go out and make a big fight. I don’t think there is a big money offer for him out there. Hearn has already said it unlikely they would make him an offer. Haymon may be in play but will Crawford accept his market value for a non Spence fight? I’m not so sure. Time is not on Buds side and he knows it which is why he’s trying to call out Spence now after saying he didn’t need the fight.
GGG let Canelo dictate his career. Turned down bigger money when HBO boxing went under to chase Canelo to DAZN and he’s been pretty irrelevant since. Bud should learn from his mistakes.

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

The urgas fight just makes the most business sense for PBC/Haymon.

Crawford isn't a pbc fighter so why they gonna give him a fight with either Urgas or Spence?

Haymon might offer him Garcia or Thurman next but he isn't getting a shot at those titles without signing.

So where does No Pay Cut go from here?

There's no issue with the fight at all. What you have here is Crawford stans/Spence haters that don't want him going into undisputed as a 3 belt champion.

Ironically, they should actually be happy. Terence Crawford would need only 1 win for undisputed.

Spence has no interest in test fights after major health scares I’ll give him that

He can't afford to! He knows has 2 fights left @ 147, so he has to make them count!

Who in their right mind wants to watch Spence vs Ugas LOL.. that fight is boredom all over it

[Nightfall]

Let's see if Duckford ducks Boots Ennis or Vergil Ortiz
