    I don't know why I thought the welterweight division had been fully unified before but I guess it hasn't been, which sucks because it should be. Hopefully Crawford's next.

      A lot more incentive when its never been done before, if Spence goes well I don't think a TC fight will be very far away, it just needs Errol to win big and the backend to the fight is complete and would be prime time.

        The only way spence wins is by robbery like porter was. Is Ugas.

          Ugas is a good solid fighter I wouldn't be surprised if he won it, I just think Errol will outwork him getting a late stoppage, I feel this could be a real good fight Im looking forward to it..

            With how weak the light welterweight division was when Crawford won it and with how weak the welterweight division has been in recent years, Crawford has a good chance of becoming the 1st fighter to be undisputed in 2 divisions.

              Yes, I agree, but that fight will only happen if No Pay Cut Crawford can put legacy and opportunity in front of his ego.

              Spence having three titles and Crawford having no promoter willing to sign/back him means he is very definitely the B side there.

              If he can't accept that then the fight won't happen imo

                This will either be a boring fight or it will turn into a war!

                  I'm excited about this fight - for the fight itself and for the potential unification afterwards. I REALLY hope we don't get another draw. I feel like there's a better chance of the winner fighting Crawford if the winner is Ugas. While fans think Crawford won't take a pay cut to make this fight happen, I see Spence being just as stubborn with the cut. Though, maybe after his accident and his eye issue he's more concerned about legacy - and the narrow window of opportunities - than he was before. Ugas seems to care less about his ego and more about making the big fights and fighting for legacy.
