Imagine not wanting to see Crawford vs Boots!

The Crawford defence league are scared and don't want him too take any risks they are loving this whole opportunist belt collector era where fighters are all becoming unified and undisputed each and every week almost. Boots hasn't fought anyone A. He has beaten better opponent than Avenysyan did, he has fought better opponents than Benavidez Jr or Kavaliaskas did He needs to earn it He is his mandatory Boots ain't ready You spent years telling us Spence was, why should we listen? Now you're going to act like Thurman who has won one fight in 4 yrs vs a gatekeeper coming off a brutal K.O loss and Charlo who will very likely be coming off a bad loss & dropping down two weights are ready! I'm sorry Spence is not P4P quality especially whatever that version was he shouldn't have been medically cleared. He looked like a zombie. Stiff as anything, no reflexes, his balance was atrocious. He is clearly not healthy especially at the weight. Boots would have taken him out early, a healthy Vergil would have ripped that Spence apart, I am honestly not convinced that Spence would even beat Kavaliaskas. Crawford learned his lesson with counterpunchers though it'd seem. He just wants to fight guys with no head movement that can't counter and to top it are at the very tale end of their career or severely handicapped. Its a farce! This man and his fanbase don't want to see him really tested they want him to continue to fight shot fighters so the can sit and pretend he is the goat in this pathetic YT era Benavidez Jr, Porter, Khan, Brook, Spence, Thurman next then who, is he gonna dig up a few old timers? Don't get it twisted he's a very good fighter he might even be the best but so much smoke and mirrors here Him and his overnight fanbase don't want that smoke. They fight Boots there is a seriously high chance the whole jig is up and they 100% know it Boots beats him suddenly everyone wakes up and stops acting like he just beat a peak Tito Trinidad

I also want to see Boots get his shot. I don't want to see him winning vacant titles vs guys he will blow out of the water. As a fan I want too see him fight the very best and get the opportunity to showcase just how great he is, currently only Crawford can do that. He is the only fighter that Boots will get major credit for and be able to bring out his best. They need each other only those two can show how truly great they both are because quite frankly they're levels and levels above the rest. I honestly don't think we've seen either of them at their best even because nobody has been good enough to bring it out. Crawford never had to get out of second gear vs Spence I have no interest in seeing Boots destroy B/C+ tier opposition and claiming greatness and making tons of defences against bums who aren't worthy of sharing a ring with him. I need to know how great both of them are. I think they maybe the two best in the entire sport across all divisions, certainly the most skilled.

TS is hilarious Spence looked terrible and he wasn’t himself vs Ugas. I said that at the time. Seriously question is what is your issue with Crawford? Is it his resume? There’s definitely something about him that you don’t like. LOL I'd say his resume and lack of prime fighters on there. I don't think anyone can deny his top 5-6 wins was all well past it or totally done by the time he fought them. I think he is a cherrypicker that bides his time and takes on extremely compromised belt holders, collecting up belts so he can make 'history'. Its more a disdain for boxing and there being too many belts and such out there. I think he is an excellent fighter but what made all these other greats so great was they beat fellow greats in their prime & took risks. Now we are in era where champions don't take risks they avoid every legitimate threat, downplay them and put their own career on hold so they can wait out some weak link with a title and act like they have bigger fish to fry.

You're trolling right now for 78, Fannon and BBFTV, right? Since Ortiz hasn't officially left the division, wouldn't win over him cement Crawford? He has the better resume than Boots and was the 1st mandatory. How about that? Here we go with the Boots nonsense. See you at 154. If Crawford is running, take out Tim and cut off his exit. He pays a much as $5 million in Aust to get that work. Joke of the Morning - Cements his legacy with a guy who was offered the fight and turned it down. Why should he have to move up and fight another fighter blocking his exit to try and land a shot at him with no guarantee when they are both at WW and he has already earned a mandatory position for a shot at his title? What other fighters in history have had to do this? Its not like Crawfords even a draw or big money fight either. If Crawford wants to fight weak links rather than a real challenge then vacate and go up and do so and stop putting the rest of the division on hold like he and Spence have for ages already

Crawford wins he cements himself with the top WWs and the best of his generation, Boots wins you have a superstar your next Roy Jones Jr/Floyd or whatever You're trolling right now for 78, Fannon and BBFTV, right?

Even if Boots did lose, its no big deal. He is still young and can come again. Not a big deal losing to the best and an ATG. He should be praised for taking a risk, fighting the best and not trying to preserve his 0 like most others out there. That is what boxing should be

I am not remotely convinced Crawford beats Boots. If he does fair play, a victory against a peak, undefeated, exceptionally skilled fighter. No doubt p4p or whatever they claim. The Spence fight has really blinded a lot of people and they aren't looking at this stylistically. They never with Crawford vs Spence they didn't question Errols ability or inability vs southpaws all they looked at was the pure basics his pressure and assumed Crawford would be static and not countering or something. Spence was and is made for Crawford - Slow, stiff, upright, basic punch selection, aggressive & doesn't his move his head, drops his opposing hands when throwing often...He is going to have a hard time against most counterpunchers & that is an active prime Spence let alone the one who churned in that terrible performance. If there is anyone with the style to beat Crawford its Boots. Bigger, longer, faster, more athletic, great counterpuncher who throws from all sorts of weird angles and changes the trajectory of his shots. They are the two most skilled around the weight by far and for all the talk of Crawfords switch-hitting and adjustments if anyone can match him its Boots. This is the fight to make in boxing and with Crawfords age it can't be drawn out. Crawford wins he cements himself with the top WWs and the best of his generation, Boots wins you have a superstar your next Roy Jones Jr/Floyd or whatever

I like the fight, but why should Boots take the fight he will lose? That would be a bad decision.

Karen has never been stopped and came to survive. Its almost impossible to get a crafty fighter with good defence and ring I.Q out of there whose only intention it to hear the final bell - Ortiz vs Scott, Kovalev vs Chilemba He hardly got exposed He won every round. He no doubt learned more from that than he did walking straight through all 20 odd opponents prior. How did he get exposed exactly? What is Crawford going to do replicate it and spend 12 rounds with his track shoes on?

Boots? Isn't that the same guy who couldnt stop Karen Chukhadzhian? Boots has been exposed already.

How about Boots and his Daddy responding to the Black Prime offer vs. coming with the loyalty to Showtime BS when they didn't have a Showtime multiple fight deal? How about that? More legacy is at 154 for Crawford, not fighting Boots for the boot licking, bandwagon jumping Local Dummy Boxing Community! No fighting Boots, what an absolute joke, vs fighting Tim Tzyu with 10oz gloves for possibly 2 belts in his forth weight class and potential 3 time undisputed if possible since Charlo messed everything up with beatdown he is about to receive from Canelo? How about Boots and his Daddy go to Australia and challenge Tim, beat him and cut off that escape route for Crawford? He's bit like Ortiz Jr so he has enough size, Naw, Tim will bodybag him like Harrison Boots, LOL!

I don't buy into all this P4P stuff. Just seems like a contest in which elite or supposed elite fighters have beaten the most B tier opposition where anyone from 135-160 gets tons more credit based on their size. Its weird. Too many agendas and such that make little sense. I mean take Boxrec for example (kudos for having Bivol so high, that to me is logical) but having Liam Smith #12 yet Usyk is ranked #28 lol

Buds no joke, he is no2 pf p regardless if he fights Ennis or not. But id like the fight, id like bud to fight all the good fighters in 147 and 154 and Ennis is one of them

Why would he fight a prime, undefeated, better version of himself that has never lost a round when he can fight a retired Thurman and be placed on Mount Rushmore to celebrate his greatness? Took how long to make the Spence fight? 4 yrs? Yeah right is this guy ever going near Boots.
