    Why is his body failing him? No evidence of that in his fight after the accident. You are of course entitled to your wrong opinion.

    Arum seems willing to sacrifice JT in a desperate attempt to try and keep Bud.

    Not sure Taylor vs Crawford generates that much. Arum suggested it would fill a 70,000 stadium in the UK and that Crawford was also massive in the UK. Arum is a known liar so take what he say with more than a pinch of salt. We do know Spence has filled 50,000 fans in a stadium in Texas.

    I think it’s in Ugas best interest to face Spence because he is 35 and the most lucrative fight out there for him after the Pacquiao fight and he now has some name recognition after retiring Pacquiao. He is better off giving up the WBA belt if they try and get him to face someone else which is less lucrative.

    It’s no excuse giving Bud 50:50 means he is taking a pay cut. Hell NO. Bud will still be making much more than he has ever got by far.

    I personally think Spence leaving early is a sure fire sign that we definitely see Spence - Crawford if not next, sometime next year. I think Crawford wins but it is a 50/50 fight. If Spence keeps it a slow tactical fight he possibly wins but I think Crawford's speed might bee too much and I just don't see how Spence could be the same fighter he was after his recent incidents. Certainly wouldn't bet the house on Craw, I just think he wins.

    Ugas is a tough fight for anyone, having a strap does not automatically give leverage look at Crawford, Andrade, Bivol and many others.

    Neither Crawford or Spence is as big a name as they should be therefore it's not as big a fight as it should be (I'm not in the states maybe the reception is different there) The reason I said V Taylor is they can market it as 2 undisputed 4 belt holders which is kind of a big deal.

    Spence *barely* beat Porter pre-accident, then beat Danny Garcia somewhat more comfortably post-accident. This doesn’t suggest any downturn in his performance?

    Spence got in the ring and challenged Porter.
