Based on WHAT???
- Almost being taken the full distance by a cripple
- Having to fake a hand injury to get an advantage
- Tossing a low blow because he can't spark the chin of a 'glass jaw'
- Going on DAZN and verbally ducking his biggest threat
- Getting two-pieced, wobbled and dropped by a guy nobody knows
Which of those is your justification for why you rate this dude? Remember, you said AT 147 - which means none of his past crap matters.
It does matter, I'm not saying his resume at 147 is the best but I believe him to be the best but he can't get an opportunity to prove it to the world because Al Haymon's playing silly buggars and pretending that the WBO isn't a legitimate sanctioning body just because they don't have the champion on a contract. But if for instance I say that bud has the best ring IQ of the current top welterweights, I'm allowed to base that on what he's shown in fights at lower divisions because the weight class doesn't matter when analysing that, or if I say he's got the most heart or the best athleticism, if he's shown that at 135 or 140 that's good enough.
But even if Bud had just moved up to 147 and was taking on ESJ immediately I'd still be picking him and challenging anyone who was picking ESJ to have a wager with me.
Actually when he did move up he destroyed the guy who had just beaten Pacman but that fight's not on your list I see and he hit Khan on the leg by accident and Khan saw an opportunity to hit the exits and took it rather than stay and get knocked out.
brook is actually high risk, low reward nowadays.
He has no titles and has fallen off the radar a bit so isn’t going to bring huge money. But the reality is he’s only lost to GGG in Fight he should never have been in. And to Spence after dropping down to weight classes coming off a loss and surgery.
If Brook has another good night in him , he could give anybody hell. Now he has no title or anything, a lot of fighters are going to look at him and think it’s probably not worth the risk incase they get a very good Kell Brook.
I am a fan of Crawford and his skills but it doesn’t seem they want to take many risks.
... Australia has only 396 deaths, in total (since the beginning of the pandemics)... old people are dying...
Old people are the ones dying in mostly all the cases around the world.

And with all that being said Horn vs Tszyu will still have a crowd.

... because of you, I checked the BoxRec schedule, and I found out that Sergio Martinez is coming back in the ring this week... He will fight (some bloke) on Friday 21, August 2020, at a small stadium in northern Spain... :)
With attendance. I'm telling you sir, the rest of the world ready to get back to normal.
Right 16,000 tickets which is 16,000 more than any fight or other sport that's taken place in America this year. No one was really pulling 16,000 before Covid in America. The rest of the world are pushing way harder to get back to normal. Qatar has 5 stadiums that hold 15,000 or more.

Good. Brook does not deserve a title shot. Since being KOed by Spence he has not fought even once at 147 and he has not fought a legit contender at any weight. He was good years ago but he is washed up and living off his name from the past.
The fight will take place (on Aug 26, 2020) outdoors at Queensland Bank Stadium with potentially 16,000 fans in attendance, all socially distanced.
... now go and figure...

Not many big fights to stage in Saudi Arabia period. How many fights out there are honestly on that level where they feel it will attract tourism. Qatar is a wealthy country, the fight would be at the end of the year, and many people around the globe including the wealthy are tired of living life in fear on lockdown.

Because Keef wants the easier fight. Which would be Crawford.
If ESJ and Bud do get it on me and you gotta put something down, I got a hundred that says he's the best in the world at 147
... and Saudi Arabia didn't call any big fight, as of lately.

Mister Wolf thanks for sharing the interview.
And as far as I'm concerned Terence Crawford is the number 2 P4P fighter in the world and the number 1 welterweight, I understand Spence Jr has unified but Crawford would too if he had the opportunity. Bomac was 100% right when he pointed out that Thurman wasn't looking for Crawford when he was champion but now he got nowhere to go he wants to get paid now. Why doesn't Thurman ask ESJ to send the contract? They both with PBC so they can make that in no time at all, no, Crawford should only be looking to unify at this point, he would destroy Brook and get no credit. Thurman would be a good win but I understand if he doesn't want to fight someone who only wants to fight after they done lost everything unless Thurman's looking to accept the small portion of the purse for the opportunity but any 50/50 talk and he can gtfoh
Lets be honest here. We both know Thurman will expect a purse north of 5 million dollars.
So no to Kell Brook and Keith Thurman then WTF is the point
Needs to start dropping rapidly in these P4P Rankings honestly! I like Bud but I don't think Top Rank likes him all that much and have lost money trying to make him a bigger star but it is just not working so wisely they're not going to take a big gamble on him again and drastically overpay for an opponent for him when he is not a big draw and like the Khan fight they would likely lose a lot of Money again
They overpayed for Khan and are currently negotiating with Pac to stage a fight in Qatar.
