Comments Thread For: Ennis (IBF), Stanionis (WBA) Petition To Enforce Mandatory Title Shot Against Spence

[Amir Imam]

Spence has a lot to lose if he fights Ennis then loses and tries to bargain with Crawford for a fight. I don't think that Spence could beat Ennis. He could beat Thurman but not Ennis. I hope he is training now. Nothing like young and upcoming contenders waiting for their shot at the title. This situation has the potential of getting really ugly for Spence.

Spence will have to fight one of these two mandatories before fighting any keep busy tomato cans to get him ready for Crawford.

If Spence beat Boots then Crawford power at the negotiating table is going to be even worse. That fight will outsell his. If Spence beat Boots I also think he will vacate and move up it

Very simple: Spence will not fight Ennis. Crawford won't either for that matter

If Spence fights boots he will have my respect. He won’t have his belts, but at least he will have my respect.

Spence already in negotiations with that bum Stanoisis.. WBA is first in the rotation of mando’s

[Nightfall]

Folks get the popcorn ready. The WBO should also force Duckford to fight his mandatory which is Virgil Ortiz jr

Shots fired! Blah, blah, blah

If Spence is smart, he'll take on Stanionis, nice comfortable fight.

If I were advising his team, I'd say stay away from Ennis, that's a very difficult fight to win. But if he were to fight him, the man has got even more confidence that anyone imagined.

But why risk a loss now when the bigger money Crawford fight is still a possibility. You need to have the kind of Leonard or Duran talent to just take on anyone anytime, I think.

Two scenarios I'm fine with:
1) Spence fights either Boots or Stanionis, in turn Crawford fights the other then the winners both fight at 147. If it's Spence-Crawford and it's a great fight, I'm down for a rematch at 154 and they enter that division together, fight each other. Boots, Stanionis, and Ortiz become the new dogs at 147.
2) Whichever gets Spence, between Boots and Stanionis, the other fights Ortiz. Winner gets winner, loser gets loser.

If these guys fight each other in any combination there's 2-3, maybe even 4 years' worth of high-quality fights. Plenty of time for cashing in or out.

Spence has no easy route, if he stays at 147 and want to keep his Belts Stanionis and Boots are very tough and Dangerous fights and if he goes up to 154 and fight Fundora that is dangerous as well

So Spence has plenty of great options even without the Crawford fight, they're tough Options/Challenges and I personally don't think Spence will shy away from any of these Challenges the REAL QUESTION is are they ready for Spence I personally don't think so I think even Boots as much as I'm high on him already, not ready Spence or Crawford

Stanionis the one who was going to get step aside to allow Spence vs Crawford so he likely gets first priority then Boots OR Spence Drops and goes to 154 leaving Boots, Ortiz, Thurman and Stanionis to fight for those 3 Vacant Belts while Fighting Fundora

Boots ****s all over Spence
