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

At this point, since Spence continuously ducks Crawford, I hope Ugas beats him the fu.ck up and stops him. We all know Ugas will fight Bud.

When is Nelo going to fight someone with a pulse? He'll fight Butterbean for a secondary heavyweight title and you'll talk about Butterbean's ko percentage clown ass groupie

You got me confused with some Saul fanboy, kid. Foh

Thurman fighting Barrios next month. This is a hell if a comeback fight. Would like him to shake off ring rather first cause Ugas is gonna be a really live underdog. This is a great setup for undisputed afterward

Thurman a coward. He is ducking Vergil Ortiz who conveniently, no one mentions and is a real threat to anyone.

Only dumies like you think Canelo doesn´t fight the best. He is the best and fights the best. You must think Crawford, the king of fighting tomato cans is the best, right? Bow down when you mention Canelo, the King.

I thought it was Arum blocking these fights doe?

Anyway, if we thought the Soence-Crawfish fight had low odds, the odds will be drastically lower if Spence beats Ugas. PBC are not risking losing all of their belts at 147 for some guy to walk off with.

Yes, exactly, imo Crawford isn't getting a shot at those titles without signing with PBC. At least not on terms he'll agree to!

Them pbc fanboys and Spence cawkguzzlers will argue different lol

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.

Imagine advocating for Crawford and saying this.

By your own logic, Crawford is definitely fighting Ortiz or Ennis next, right? Or are these high standards only reserved for fighters you don't like?

[Oregonian]

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.

Let’s leave the name calling and stick to basic FACTS.
Crawford’s resume at 147 includes Brook and Porter … both of whom Spence beat and Brook was way past his prime. It also includes Khan. That alone is a sign of a boxer not wanting to challenge himself. The remaining 3 guys are all irrelevant at WW.
Spence traveled to England to win his belt. He didn’t fight a guy that got a gift decision (Horn) to get a belt.
Mikey Garcia was a dumb fight. Garcia had no shot at beating Spence and was too small. As a Spence fan, I can still call that fight a farce and still remain a fan.
A year ago, I believed Spence would beat Crawford. I don’t hold those sentiments anymore. I’d like to see them fight. A 60/40 purse split in favor of Spence is fair but to make the fight happen, Spence has to agree to a 50/50 split. If he does not, all blame goes to him.

[Murray Kelm]

Spence will unify with Ugas and then go to 154.I would love to see Ugas upset the apple cart and hand Spence a loss.

[aboutfkntime]

Crawford finally fought a legit ww since moving up and is a prima-donna when it will come to negotiations with Spence thinking he the A-side, boots and Ortiz have no belts and just started fighting former champions….. Ugas wba super champion can make case for arguably 2nd best ww atm and coming off career defining win against legendary pac which will sell to the casuals, your argument makes no sense besides coming off as a Spence hater

I lean toward your argument...

there is no debate that Crawford/Spence is the fight that should happen

there is also no debate that Spence does not seem interested in that fight

and if you know boxing, you can see that boots is one of the top 2-3 welterweights on the planet

imho... he is 2nd, at worst... but he has not earned the right to demand anything at this point... certainly not to stand in the way of a unification

his point... that Ugas is not the best welterweight on the planet, is correct... but the following facts exist...

FACT: Ugas is a excellent opponent

FACT: that is a great fight, regardless
