Crawfords next fight

[NORMNEALON]

now it seems as per usual we are not gonna see Crawford fight any of the other Champs. If Crawford and porter don't iron something out they need to try and get ugas the fight with bud .

- it would prove a WW fight between PBC and top-rank fighters can be made which would be one step in the right direction if they are gonna keep dancing around the fights we all want .


- ugas beat Shawn porter , regardless of what the decision was. That would be a quality opponent for crawford and I wouldn't complain if this fight was signed( assuming we don't get pac ,Spence, or porter vs bud next) .


What do you guys think about ugas as an opponent for crawford next?? I mean I know most people with a head on their shoulders would prefer this to kell brook . And I know it doesn't mean much , but ugas has a win over crawford in the amateurs .

All that being said I think bud vs Spence needs to happen next , and if it doesn't Manny would do just fine !!! And if the 3rd acceptable possibility in porter is a no go , then I think ugas is the next best choice .

What do u guys think ?? Discuss ......

I think the Ugas fight would be intriguing.I would have to agree he beat Porter.

Do u think ugas has a hope in hell to beat bud ?? I know he's def a legit top 10 welterweight but porter didn't fight his usual fight , the situation kind of reminded me of when Tim Bradley went to war with provodkinov to prove to the fans he could **** and have fun fights . Except porter decided to try and box more vs ugas and prove he wasn't just a straight forward brawler.

I personally think ugas is highly underrated and I would give him a legit shot to beat any welterweight ( not saying I would pick him ) . Not sure how the porter rematch would go if it was to come off , as I think porter would fight his usual style and not try and fight ugas fight . I think ugas matches up better with Spence than Crawford, but I don't see him beating either . Team ugas should be beating the drum for the porter fight right now. I don't wanna see bud vs brook personally.

Yeah no brook for me .It was crazy Porter fighting Ugas and trying to be the boxer.That Bradley fight was a good analogy.

he’s fighting kell brook

Porter or Ugas are about the best choices right now if Arum's willing to reach out... sad thing here is actually may be some substance to Bob's claim that it could be difficult to pay both guys what they deserve or want in the present or near circumstances.

Bud's used to getting $4 mil or whatever for the likes of Kavaliauskas and it's hard to imagine Shawn taking any less then the $2+ mil he got against Spence. Both would want more than that I think. Enough folk gonna be ready to fork out $70 or $80 for a big PPV at the present time?

Ugas is likely to be the more viable I think if he'd be willing to do it for $500k or even a mil, but then the question is whetyher Bud n Bob will wanna be taking on such a potentially dangerous opponent with no belt or particular reward for it?

[2ndroundko]

I honestly wouldn't mind if Brook or Ugas were his next opponent.

ugas makes no sense. high risk with little name value.

brook is washed up and hasnt fought at 147 in three years. but he has more of a name and he fought spence years ago. makes sense.

"if crawford and porter dont iron something out"

LOL

crawford would have to be interested in order for that to happen.....remember...he was apparently interested before he fought mean machine and right after he fought mean machine

he suddenly became uninterested once kenny porter said they could be called about making a fight

strange huh?

and this wasnt some read between the lines incident....this was cut and dry....crawford and arum did a complete 180 in broad daylight bout fighting porter....its one of the more blatant incidences ive seen in recent times

[Beercules]

I want to see an Ugas fight. That'll show me where Bud is really at.

[MulaKO]

If Bud ain’t fighting Porter then he’s gotta get Ugas
I know Ugas is big risk with not much value but Bud made his bed when he refused to fight Porter
And please , no fughin Brooks
