Comments Thread For: Stanionis On Potentially Stepping Aside For Spence-Crawford: Up To My Team, I Will Be Ready For Anything

Excellent idea, and I know the perfect opponent...Keith Thurman!

The fact that Thurman had a tune-up on PPV indicates his arrogance, so I doubt he'll be ok with playing second fiddle to Spence/Crawford.

You may be right, but that would be his loss! Vergil has #1 in both WBC and WBO! Josh Taylor could force a WBO Challenge! Boots fights Clayton for IBF #1 spot. Stanionis has WBA spot! If Keith wants a shot, he has to go through one of them!

First, I don't see Thurman facing Stanionis. Two, if the match-up does happen, then it wouldn't occur on Spence/Crawford because the amount of money that Thurman will ask for will surpass what PBC is willing to invest in an undercard. Thurman believes he's a PPV main-eventer now, so I would expect Thurman/Stanionis as its own main event.

As for the OP, I really want to see Spence/Crawford but I'm tired of guys stepping aside. They just put him on the PPV preshow, so he shouldn't have much confidence in the higher-ups forcing Spence/Crawford to face him.

Win, Lose, or Draw, I strongly believe this will be Spence's last fight @ 147! Thurman is very delusional! If Charlo vs. Castano II is not a PPV, Thurman vs. Anyone not named Spence or Crawford, should NOT be a PPV! I would love to see Thurman fight Stanionis, Boots, Vergil, Benn, or Avanesyan, but I don't want to pay for it!
