I'm actually looking forward to that one. Depending on how that fight goes(and how you feel about Tank) you gonna be looking one of two ways after that fight eitherShakur vs Pitbull might go crazy on the low
or 
.Wouldn't be shocked at all if it doesn't happen though, Top Rank fighter and a PBC fighter where the Top Rank fighter is the big name, Arum may try to have Stevenson go the WBO route.

Cruz isn’t a cop from zimbabwae … he isn’t a struggle Mexican who gets his jaw broke by struggle Eurocacs who revived his career by beating struggle Mexicans
Between the two of them Cruz had faced the tougher opps
… Cruz took bombs from tank N asked for more … Shakur took punches from African Michael Winslow N
Bob don’t want them problems Shakur definitely don’t want them problems

yeah I would assume that also. There are barely any TR 135 pounders I wanna say this is why he wants to fast track Loma/Haney and winner taking on Shakur. If Haney vacates and them belts scatter I'm not sure how the politics will be for that.

To quote my boy @theflyest it's WAAAAY too soon for Haney vs Shakur. That needs to marinate for at least 4 more years. Haney will kick Loma's ass and move up to 140 and fight Josh Taylor while Shakur will stay at 135 and probably end up in a trilogy with Tank eventually.

What's the percentage of each of these fights happening? Especially Spence/Thurman? Knowing he said he would NEVER fight Keith. Does he use this as a reason to go to 154?
yeah I would say being that Haney has gotten Undisputed out the way at 140 he can chase some big fights just to say he runs the division (even babysit 1-2 belts like floyd vs Undisputed again unless he wants to).
Let Shakur dominate 135 and then do the mega fight at 140.
I feel their late 20s will be their prime and ideal for it to happen where both would be decorated enough an L doesn't disrupt their career
Since I am just a casual fan, I will stick with the bigger fights on the list. I think Wilder vs Ruiz will actually happen. PBC has been slowly building this up. In addition, both fighters are in the same stable. This is really not a hard fight to make, and the best option for both.
If anyone has been following my post, I have been saying PBC has preferred to make Spence/Thurman over Spence/Crawford. I would jokingly say let Spence fight Thurman, while Crawford can fight whoever, because it makes more sense from PBC’s perspective. It appears that this prediction is becoming true.
I can see Spence taking the fight, despite not wanting to. He needs an opponent that you can sell a PPV with. However, I always thought it would be in his best interest to fight Thurman at 154. That way, you have a fight in your back packet that allows you to get acclimated to the weight with a fellow WW, and still a money fight you sell on PPV. Regardless whether it’s 147 or 154, I definitely see him fighting Thurman before his career is over.
Benavidez vs Plant should happen. We shall see.
I don’t believe none of these fights happen though until I physically see them in the ring.

Nah Haney and Shakur will fight at 147 bro.
still aligns with my late 20s stand point either way. If the trajectory is Shakur vs Haney I assume neither will fight Ryan or Tank lol. And if they do it's post either of the two taking an L already. Tank is 28 so pretty much entered his prime.
