    Motorcity always trying his best to save face for Haymon Sports.

      Fights Kell Brook which he gets ZERO credit for beating.

      How does this make any sense?
      I keep telling you bro... in fact been telling everyone for a hot minute and now the LDBC leader agrees, the fight ain’t gonna happen. As jabba 78 says, “their egos” is what’s causing the problem, or as he refers, “it’s a brother thing.”

      Why don’t you HELP create Crawford vs Jermell?

        I don’t see anything in Ugas style that would prevent Crawford from showing any respect and not jumping all over him for a TKO. Ugas is exactly in line to what Crawford prefers. A lower tier opponent he can walk through.

        If Crawford beating Ugas is enough for some fans then the standards for what a big hard fight is has changed dramatically.
        Ugas beat Crawford in the amateurs. That's why.

            As a pro he has not had a performance to make me feel he will beat Crawford.

            Andre Berto beat Timothy Bradley twice and Andre Dirrell. As a pro though, I wouldn't pick Berto vs any of them.

            Crawford was 58-12 an amateur.

            Danny Garcia and Sadam Ali are among those 12 losses.

            Other mediocre pro boxers who beat Crawford in the amateurs were Mike Dallas Jr, Miguel Angel Gonzalez, Jesus Mendez, Jerry Belmontes.

            So Crawford was not all that in the amateurs.

              No. It more and more appears like Spence doesn't want that smoke.

                  I thought what Crawford and Bob did after Crawford’s last fight proved that Crawford is more interested in fighting manny than he is Spence.

                  Even the pbc haters shouldn’t be surprised by that because the manny fight is more money and potentially gives Crawford a “bump” the way beating fishnets did for Floyd.

                  The only people that seem to blame Spence are the usual suspects that hate pbc, hate Haymon and blame every ill in the sport of boxing on the promotional company owned by the black American.

                  Let Spence and Crawford switch promoters and those same posters would be killing Crawford as the ducker.

                    Complain, complain, complain, complain.....
                    Play the race card, play the race card, play the race card...

                    How long have you been posting here?
                    As if you whiners are not doing the same exact thing.
                    PBC fans are siding with Spence because he's with Haymon,
                    and Crawford is with Bob Arum.

                    It's the nature of the beast. You might as well accept it,
                    instead of whine and whine in perpetuity.

                    If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Simple as that.

                    Hope that helps.

                      Yeah, but Ugas stands out because he arguably beat Porter. That's not something many fighters can say.
