    Why doesn’t Crawford just hold both 147-154 WBO titles? Like post Floyd belt hostage

    Once Munguia clears out

    The only way industry can really give reason why Haymon and Spence are bullsheting is to up the standards for P4P.

    That’s how we prioritize this fight with their race for P4P

    The WBO doesn’t allow champs in 2 weight classes..... even for people they like.

        That’s bullshet. Not saying it isn’t true.

        How did BJS whom failed the 160 belt defense and then avoided a mandate was then given priority ranking to fight for the vacant 168 given those circumstances? That’s clearly about people they like, which is why they should revise their rules.

        If not, hopefully Munguia clears out so that Adames vs Crawford for the WBO can happen

          Again they don’t allow 2 champs in 2 divisions not that they don’t fudge there rankings

            He not interested in 154. He will be getting the WBA regular welter belt next year.

              “Again,” if it’s about favoring promotional companies then surely they can acknowledge the style of other orgs. As if they are all perfect..

                Why would a welterweight fight as a light middleweight? That's ****** idea. They have weight classes so boxers can fight guys their own weight. How do you know Crawford wins a world title at 154? Mayweather was a terrible champ at 154 because he never defended that title for years. Boxing doesn't need champs that don't defend their title.

                  You are so damn weird and your ideas are always so damn weird. It's hard to tell what you are talking about. Nobody else in the world thinks the way you do. There is no we. Haymon and Arum and Crawford and Spence will do whatever they want and nobody on this boxing board has a damn say in the matter. Crawford is not going to try to win a title at 154 just because you came up with the idea. You are obsessed with boxers moving up in weight and have been pushing so hard for Spence and Crawford to move up in weight. Normally a boxer only moves up when they have trouble making weight. Spence and Crawford have no problem making 147 so they are staying there. Welterweight is a great traditional weight class with more prestige than 154 anyway.
