If Erol Spence were the WBA mandatory, do u think wed get Thurman vs Spence next?

[Boxfan83]

Yes or no, why or why not? I find it kinda strange hes pushing for the IBF thatll probably be vacated by this time next year... Thoughts?

[MasterPlan]

He's ranked higher in the IBF than in the WBA. Plus, I think he'd have to go through David Avandsyan first since he's WBA Regular champ.

Once he gets IBF it'll be easier to get Thurman in a unification match.

[285Kid]

Not next but maybe in two more fights

Mayne looking for a big unification down the b line

Pbc dont unify. His best bet is to work his way into other rankings and get Thurman or Garcia. Winning an empathetic vacant or interim IBF fight will get him nowhere but fighting mandatory after mandatory just like the rest of the pbc roster.

There was no talk of Brook vacating the IBF until he signed to fight Golovkin. So blame Golovkin if Brook vacates.

So should we blame him for pac vs vargas too?

Yes. He's partly to blame. Brook is the other part. GGG is siphoning off good fights from the welterweight division. But back to what you're implying. When was there ever talk that Kell was going to drop the belt? You're implying that Spence went the IBF route because he could pick up a vacant belt. There was never any talk Brook would drop the belt except from Brook haters who said he'd duck Spence

Honestly i feel Brook wanted no part of Spence. & honestly Spence is an up and comer, he hasnt proven much but at the same time i dont feel hes a pushover or a punk. Personally i think Haymon wants him to go the ibf route so his fighter can grab a quick belt. & i know itsnot set instone but i highly doubt after lil g beats down Brook, Brook returns to ww, & im sure he will hold the belt hostage til hes forced to vacate.

I really have no idea what the PBC has planned but I'm betting on a huge year for Spence in 2017. I have a feeling we may get Thurman vs Garcia after each have a fight (so mid-2017ish) and Spence is going another direction and will move to 154 by the end of 2017 after getting a somewhat "big" fight, maybe Porter or someone along the lines.

Yeah man i agree, i think bs is gonna push Spence up. I highly doubt he fights Thurman or Garcia tho. Porter will fight him tho.
