Especially at 147.

But for him it’s better Thurman than Crawford.

Pretty sure we have have the belts at stake.

I remember the Mayweather-Mariana bout. Was at 154 and the 147 and 154 belts were on the line.
I've never heard that, and have to say no way can they do that. They can't sanction fights above the weight limit.

Unless the fight was at 147 and they sanctioned the 154 belts, cus technically it’s below the limit.

That’s probably what it was.

BS article said none of Spence's titles are on the line. The weight is approved, but no belts.

Spence won’t go back down if he goes up.

If this fight is on they should just elevate boots to the real ibf champ and let boots and craw try do undisputed.

Shame. They don’t undisputed status.

I’m sure Crawford will join him.

Is Spence getting aboard the Tommy Hearns weight hopping express, where he jumps up and down between weights, picking up trinkets here and there, or is Spence leaving 147 behind?

If it's the latter, then presumably the so-called undisputed superfight at 147 is dead in the water?

Stanionis is the one getting screwed here. No way does Thurman jump ahead of him. If Spence is staying at 154, it won't matter. Thurman has done nothing to deserve this fight. It would be funny as hell if he won though.

Your memory must be shot because Mayweather Maidana was at 147

We talking 8 years ago and if you bothered reading comments after, I realised it was 147.

I wasn’t wrong about the 147 and 154 belts being on the line.

spence is moving up and probably charlos too, they are big men fighting in lower weight classes to have an advantage, just smart business

TC is a smart cat too, milked the game very smartly

its crazy that people are spending their hard earned little money to see some c and b level fights

I don't recall any of Mayweather's fights where he was defending belts from 2 weight classes in the same fight.

Either stoppage or 12 rounds to 0.

And he oughta stop Thurman.

I personally don't care one way or the other, but it seems a little odd I'd say that you could win belts in 2 weight classes potentially off of 1 win. Although I know Leonard did it once, but that was partially a marketing decision to give the Super Middleweight division some cache.

Didn’t they do it for Davis-Santa Cruz?

If ancient Manny, dropped and beat Thurman, then Spence will likely get it done by the halfway mark after a slow start.
It's a predetermined walkover, the sort of fight you watch the 2 minute highlight package later on.

Yeah it's actually a little embarrassing for Spence if Thurman hears the final bell I think. That's how heavy a favorite he is here.

I'll get excited about it when they've signed and sealed on the dotted line, until then it's a rumour.

Yes you were. The 154 title wasn't on the line when Mayweather fought Maidana.

:lol:

So incorrect. On BoxRec, it says "super world welterweight", which is different from "world super welterweight. He wasn't fighting for a super version of the WBA title just like the regular title.
