Comments Thread For: Stanionis Wants Crawford to 'Release the Belts' as He Searches for New Date

Hopefully he's learned his lesson about trusting vague assurances from American promoters and their favoured American fighters. He never should have stood aside to allow Spence - Ugas, that's where all of his problems started.

Although you are right, Stanionus is not 2nd tier. He might give an older Crawford hell with his body attack. He's better than Mean Machine.

thats why Bud is afraid of him

Stanionis' manager is Shelly Finkel, and the platform he fights on is PBC. The fact that Stanionis' career is completely stagnant is their responsibility.

the problem is Stanionis is White... PBC prefers blacks... it's a racist Promotion company

Stanionis is in the back room in the basement...no one is interested in him not even 147 lb bums. He's not ever giving anyone hell. How in the hell you put Stanionis in the same convo as Crawford.

What you juts commented is besides the point punk!! Stanionis has EARNED the right to fight the belt holder... if Bud doesn't wanna fight then he needs to let it go, but he's clearly scared

I understand a fighter taking step-aside money, but they should try to resist the temptation. Especially the fighters who don't have strong promotional backing or star-power. Step-aside is like purchasing a boxer's silence. I know that sanctioning bodies cannot be fully trusted, but they still present a lifeline for guys like Stanionis to try and get an opportunity within a reasonable time.

Yeah, look at Caleb Plant! All PBC did was get him a title and a fight with Canelo! PBC is a real racist company! LMAO!!!

Stanionis is right, Crawford needs to give up them belts if he's moving up! The WBA won't do jack **** though! All those "secondary" belts should've been gone a long time ago!

He's dangerous thats why he's back on the shelf, just like what they've done to Golovkin or Beterbiev

I understand why Stani feels that way, but Crawford isn't keeping him inactive though. We're hearing a similar complaint being made at SMW. The promoters/managers simply don't want to match up their fighters unless titles are on the line...or unless they're getting overpaid. Stani should be looking at Finkle and PBC, not Crawford. He has only 1 fight left with PBC, and it seems like Stani is being held up from finally fulfilling his requirement.

Inoue really the only MF that becomes undisputed and doesn't hold them ****s hostage.
