I'm not even sure why Spence is in the equation when he's not ranked at the weight, is coming off a one-sided stoppage loss, and they already cruelly screwed Bohachuk, who was ranked #2 by the WBC prior to beating Mendoza and is currently ranked #4 behind Jermello, Fundora, Tszyu, and Madrimov by The Ring, over once by snatching his world title shot from under his feet at the last minute and throwing him in with an extremely dangerous late notice sub who could very easily have sprung the upset and sent him sliding all the way back down the ladder to square one. Now they're going to screw him twice in a row?

I get that Spence is a PBC fighter and from the US but let's not forget that PBC fighter Jermello held all the belts hostage for the best part of two years, hasn't fought at that weight or defended his world titles since May 2022, his brother held the WBC belt hostage for well over two years and his last title defence was in June 2021, and Maurico just sat back and refused to strip them.

Isn't Tszyu a PBC fighter too? If so, why do PBC want to make Fundora vs Spence over Fundora vs Tszyu II when Tszyu saved their show taking on an extremely awkward near 6'6'' ft southpaw with an 80 reach at late notice after spending almost a whole camp training for an opponent who couldn't have been more different to Fundora stylistically and in terms of physical dimensions

And Tszyu could easily have claimed he couldn't see properly which he couldn't after getting cut in round 2 and retained his title which would've been a huge anticlimax for PBC having the main event for their Prime debut waved off before it even really got going. So he saved PBC's ass twice in reality.

The WBC ranked Thurman #1 at 147 for beating Barrios despite the fact Barrios was a career 140 pounder, was coming off a stoppage loss at 140lbs, and Thurman who had been crazy inactive going into the Barrios not having fought in 2.5 years since losing to Manny.

The WBC also still had The Dosser ranked #1 despite the fact he was coming off back to back one-sided sans one round biblical ass whooping stoppage/KO losses in his backyard

Because they've made alot more money with Spence and he was one of their marquee guys to help build that brand. So they're trying to change the oil and give it a tune up before they decide to cash it out lol. It sucks nobody really likes how pbc does business but we know their ways. Oh and most importantly because Spence will sell more fights for them so they'll stick him anywhere they can.

Why ??? He should man up & rematch Tszyu. Nothing was settled, It screams for a rematch. Strange how its working out for Crawford isn't it. The W

Tszyu has a rematch clause so he should be next and Bohachuk was supposed to be fighting for the WBC strap against Fundora up until a couple of weeks ago after spending almost a full camp training for his world title shot until they decided to pair his opponent Fundora up with Tszyu for both the WBO and the vacant WBC belt after Thurman pulled out despite the fact Bohachuk was ranked above Fundora by the WBC, was unbeaten in his last five fights, and Fundora was coming off a KO loss.

Bohachuk had his world title opportunity cruelly robbed from him just a couple of weeks before he was due to fight for the title and people on social media were saying that it's no big deal because he was still fighting on the undercard (against a very dangerous late notice replacement, which he was man enough to take, who can really crack and it could very easily have gone pear shaped for him) and he'll get his shot next.

And now he's just beaten the man who did this to Fundora in his fight prior to facing him

But I'm hearing rumblings that Fundora might vacate the WBO and he will be fighting Spence for the WBC title instead, who like Fundora was is also coming off a KO loss and even worse isn't even a 154 pounder yet or ranked at that weight by the WBC.

So where does that leave poor Bohachuk?

And this is after all the belts at 154 were held hostage for like two years by Jermello who didn't defend any of his titles in all that time

Fundora's camp saying that he won't fight until November. It looks like he is under medical suspension until September anyway.

Tszyu is medically suspended until May. He could potentially fight Spence with the winner getting a shot at the winner of Fundora/Crawford if Bud wants to hang around for that and Tszyu waives his rematch option. Tszyu won't be waiting around until November for his next fight, he likes to stay busy.

Tszyu vs Spence in this instance makes sense to me given Fundora's situation.

Well Crawford will become a 4 division champion for sure and probably becomes Undisputed in his 3rd weight class as well.
