Word is he left the arena early.
He must be embarrassed. Probably sat there watching the masterclass by Bud thinking I should of gone for Undisputed.
He can't call himself TBE no more.
I'm actually glad he's not boxing any more professionally. Too much cherry picking went on. Did you honestly get value for money with him?
Errol Spence Jr vs Terence 'Bud' Crawford was an excellent advert for boxing.
No question. Floyd is one of the ATG’s in my view, not “the best ever”, but he is without a doubt the best businessman in boxing history. There may be better boxers in the past (Ali), may be better now or in the future. None will likely surpass his business savvy and wealth.
Great fighter, better businessman. I was never a Floyd fan, per se, but I always recognized his ability. Anyone who doesn’t is a straight hater. But in recent times I’ve come to respect Mayweather even more as an indomitable force that deserves to be emulated in many ways. “Hard work and dedication” is not just a slogan with him. He lives it. More of us can learn from that.

Buisness savy lmao
he literally came back from retirement because a con man named three coma joe, told him he could make 15 million dollars into a billion, and impressed Floyd because he rented rolxes and hookers to trick him
Floyd is a well known certified dumbass. Like close to retarded. But a great fighter who was obsessed with only picking opponents only when he knew he could beat them, at least for the latter part of his career
Also Floyd aint an ATG
The big fight Saturday night was excellent for the sport. Hats off to both men. This is what boxing is supposed to be about. But I should mention one thing about Floyd. His “TBE” moniker was always about marketing. I don’t know if he ever believed it himself, but he used wisely it to promote himself. You may not like him as a fighter, but the hundreds of millions he’s worth prove his business acumen.

Undefeated doesn’t mean much if you are untested or weight drained.
You’re a shameless fanboy of promoters and managers. It’s an odd fetish but not surprising on here.
Corrales fought almost three more years in the same division and won another belt there against Joel Casamayor. So that's another lie from you.
Yawn, Corrales was not an elite or at his best, and Hatton was not elite or at his best either.
Tank was built by Mayweather and his followers. His biggest fight was with a Golden Boy fighter who brought the numbers and buyers with his social media influence.
Canelo was 22 and weight drained. Floyd insisted that Tank at 25 was too young for Loma and that "he will be 40 eventually" when aske if they would fight him.
You are easily led by your bias and ignorance. It's easy to see why.
This is you lying as usual. Corrales was elite and top 5 pound for pound at the time.
That is what good promoters do- they promote the fight to maximize viewers and ppv purchases. Youre mad that his team did their jobs welll?
Oh yeah- I forgot. Its Haymon and his staff. We all know why this makes you upset.
Those guys were good at cherrypicking the least amount of risk for the highest reward. 30 percent risk or less was the battle cry apparently
They were both undefeated and ranked as one of the 10 best in the sport.
Ok. Tank sold out arenas before Ryan. He is the 2nd biggest non hwt draw in America.
Ok. Canelo was on Floyd’s undercards. That is how In part he was built. The other is you pivoting to something that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
Everything I posted was a fact that isnt changed or altered by any bias I may have.

So what you're saying is, Joe Calslappy ducked threats?
Not sure, his early career was before my time. But he definitely didn’t fight everyone he could have. Froch would have beaten him toward the end for suree

Making up ridiculous extremes.
He defeated undefeated Corrales and undefeated Hatton when they ranked in the top 10 p4p.
Canelo and Tank are the 2 biggest draws in the sport. Canelo was put on Floyd’s undercards. His biggest fight was with Haymon. Tank was built completely by PBC.

Sure it is, you are either woke and sensitive to the struggles of the trans community or you aren't. You are ridiculing and kink shaming someone, which is frowned upon by the trans community which you vehemently defend on every thread. You call us dinosaurs for not respecting the trans community, yet you ridicule someone for cross-dressing, yes, that makes you a hypocrite.
Floyd never defeated an elite level fighter at their best. That is a fact. You cannot name an elite level fighter who he beat at their best.
Haymon has not created one superstar.

lmfao. What a ridiculous stretch. Calling him a name many in here do isnt hypocrisy.
You guys that hate Floyd. You surely picked against him multiple times. After he wins, the only thing is to denigrate.
Sore loser stuff.

Bud is a superior fighter to Floyd. Floyd avoided Marg, avoided Paul Williams. Whatever about Paul Williams. Might not have the same resume, but skills wise, Bud is better.
There are styles that woulda beaten Floyd. Also Floyd retired to hide from Cotto.
Bud wants to fight everyone in his class, and he destroys them all.
Floyd was a cherry picker, and frankly, scored very few scoring punches post Zab Judah. Just touching ppl, not punching em.
Floyd fought ppl at the right time. Dude was always just a pu$$y after the zab fight
The idea that Floyd ducked Margarito is ridiculous.
He left early because (and multiple people near him said this) he observed Spence looking dehydrated from Round 1 and already knew what was going to happen. He ran around telling everyone who would listen.
Floyd is on record as saying that he felt that Crawford was the best active fighter. He's said it multiple times.
He wanted it to be competitive, because he's a real fan.
That makes about 3 or 4 pro fighters that have said as much. This on top of the 15 month layoff... I saw Spence in the dressing room and he looked like he hadn't rehydrated well. It would explain why he was so bad.
That said, I don't think that had much to do with his lack of a gameplan, feints or head movement. Spence mentioned his timing being off, but it's a lot more than that.

spence gave floyd the work in sparring so floyd hold spence to a standard. word around is that floyd dropped a few mil on spence.
The late money came in for Crawford. A poster made a thread about it.
Floyd is on camera picking Crawford.
I havent heard anything about a large bet late or early.

Got a time stamp? I distinctly remember Floyd saying, on camera, that Bud was the best fighter in boxing today.
That's definitely not true. Floyd pegged Crawford as P4P #1.
You think a guy who rates Pernell over Ali doesn't appreciate Bud's skill level?

You are referring to Oscar as "fishnets", I'm pointing out your hypocrisy Brontosaurus.
Who is "all of you guys"? I didn't pick Mosley, Manny, Corrales or Canelo to beat Floyd. Corrales was weight drained, Canelo weight drained and 22 years old, Shane was 38, Manny was still recovering from some brutal fights and suffered an injury prior to and during the fight. Oscar was robbed.
The Mayweather hype machine convinced casuals that fights with Guerrero, Baldomir, Ortiz, Berto, Bruseles, Corley, Mitchell would actually be competitive. Maidana was a cherry pick gone wrong, he should have fought Khan and Maidana was robbed in the first fight.
