    Don't think he beats the elites, but hes doing what we all say guys should do to get a shot which is beat other fringe contenders and prospects.

    In the past 2 years, hes beaten James, Perella, Ghvanichava, Dulorme and Robinson.

    Id prefer to see him get the Spence shot than Ocampo

    Ugas is a legit contender. He has gone through the wringer.

    I agree he deserves a shot... I just don't see him beating spence , porter, or Garcia. horn would be his only chance at a belt.. no way Thurman fights him.. Thurman sounded like he plans to dodge the top guys as long as he can in his last interview lol. I legit think hes scared to fight spence. and I ain't even a spence fan just my opinion.

    Kavaliauskas beating Avanesyan is a better win than any of Ugas' wins

    Respect to Ugas hope he gets paid. Ugas been doing a lot of High risk-low reward fights and keeps winning.

    Unfortunately fighting through the ranks mean nothing if your promoter does not have the clout or you don't bring in a built in audience.

    really respect the hell out of him

    been watching each fight on pbc after the layoff and he keeps pulling them out

    I think he gives Garcia and Thurman hard fights

    Egid has more upside than Ugas, but honestly, I think Ugas's win over James looks just about as good as EK stopping Avanesyan right now.

    Well, he seems to be a Haymon guy, so I could imagine him being able to get one of the big guys if he’s in a high ranking position

    That would be the case we think, but look at how those 147 Haymon guys are doing Errol Spence Jr. right now and he is a champion. These guys are weird right now. None of them are Mayweather and they are not going to make each other $20 million by acting this way anyway, might as well fight any and everybody.
