    I went back and watched some of Ugas's fights and didn't realize he was as skilled as he is. He has a great defense, jab, counter-punching, ability to fight from the inside, and his timing is extremely well. I honestly think that Ugas would be a little more difficult than Spence if both were to meet Crawford. Thoughts?

    Nope.

    Ugas is good boxer. He arguably beat Porter and clearly beat granddad Pac. He can outbox Spence and I'm not surprised by that. Faded Brook was outboxing Spence. Porter beat Spence and should have won the fight according to some boxing fans.

    Crawford is better boxer than both Ugas and Spence. He has better fundementals and is more technically sound.

    Yes. Even taking in account the car accident and "eye injury," Spence is tailor made for Crawford. Crawford by KO.

    Ugas is a highly skilled boxer and he's just as big as Spence. Crawford by decision, but it'll be close.

    Ugas' stinky Cuban style will be trouble for Spence.

    No, Ugas is good, a solid contender but he's being unduly elevated for beating a shot Pac. Spence takes care of him.

    Much easier fight. Crawford knocks him out like he did Porter. Something Spence couldn’t do. It’s debatable if Spence even beat Porter. Ugas is crafty but he’s not in Bud’s league.

    Ugas schooled Porter and should have gotten the nod. A rematch was the only fight Porter has ducked.

    Porter took Spence into deep water and almost drowned him.

    Triangle theory doesn't always work in sports, but Porter is also a solid contender so that's not really a surprise. I thought Spence adjusted well and ended up winning fairly comfortably, I'll give Porter credit for rallying at the end but Porter is a pain for everyone. You can't say that either are elite fighters though, Crawford would probably stop Ugas.

    Porter did not beat Spence as Spence clearly won.

    I just rewatched the fight and I think Spence won 8-4. Porter smothers his work too much

    Yeah, Ugas is extremely underrated.
