If Bud is serious about wanting to fight Canelo at 168, why not show it and fight a guy like Plant? A great test for him against a contender in the division to see how he handles the weight.
If he wins in decent fashion, and I'm not convicned he does, call out Saul in the post-fight media scrum and start a pressure campaign on Canelo for "ducking the current P4P King".
Demand for the fight would then be at a fever pitch.
He’s not beating Terence “TBE” Crawford. Crawford is unbeatable. Whether it’s 147, 154, 160, 175, etc, they’re all losing to the GOAT, Bud Crawford. If Tyson Fury, Usyk, and Joshua want smoke, TBE Crawford will smoke them out too.
How about Bud just fight someone in his own weight class. Beating Spence doesn't suddenly make him invincible in every weight division.
Tell his fans that.
Behind all the bluster, they don't seem too confident about this proposed matchup. It speaks volumes.
Crawford is a midget and he should not be mentioned in the same sentence with Canelo.
I also opened a provocative topic about canelo fighting Bivol and guys said I was trolling which was true. I just wanted to point out how stupid the idea about Crawford fighting bigger men was.
Crawford doesn't think so, he thinks he can beat Canelo so unless it happens we will never know if its a pipe dream or not.
Totally different fight for TC than Canelo , for Bud Plants size being over 6ft and movement is a tougher fight than Canelos physicality style, Crawford is not about beating 168s he is about beating Canelo.

That's your job dumbass.
That's the point your trying to make then prove it
You just accused me of hyping Spence up for a Canelo fight. Stay on topic, incel.

Fair enough.
SweetPbfAli had a similar take.
Man your still so hurt he beat tf outta spencerina :rofl:
When spencerina was in talks for a possible carnela fight yall were all for it but now he got beat tf up you wanna give the guy some roadblocks hating he ruined the plan lmfao
I doubt you'd ask spencerina to fight plant to get a fight with carnela if he had beat Crawford. Don't even try to lie boy
Go find that thread and my comment that states that Canelo would knock Spence tf out.

Is this not a stupid troll thread?
It's 100% legit. It's a good fight, if Bud is as good as everyone believes he is and if he wants to advance his case for a fight with Canelo.
Neither guy has an opponent lined up, but again, it depends on what Crawford is truly after. Is it money or 3x undisputed?
Nah I say bud vs zurdo ramirez at cruiserweight! Bud can earn a strap in a new weight class for carnela to entice him to a fight
Lmfao op is a dumbass
Have you ever had anything substantiative to add to any topic ever?
What do you do for a living?
The thought being, that this is the spring board to Canelo.
There is no springboard to Canelo. You have to be someone Canelo wants to fight because he views you as an easy opponent. If being a 147lber doesn't do that, nothing will
Canelo is reluctant to fight David, but the P4P #1 and naturally smaller guy hunting you, moving up 3 divisions is a different narrative.
Undisputed at 154 is the easier route, but it's also less lucrative.
I'm of the opinion that chasing the cash-cow is a bad idea. You have to find a way to lure the cash-cow to you, and I don't think facing Plant will lure Canelo. TC moving up from his 3rd to a 6th division is also a bad idea. That takes a lot of preparation. If he loses, it's highly unlikely he'll be able to come back down. At that point, his career is pretty much over.Canelo already had his Undisputed vs Undisputed gimmick fight with Jermell, and he said he's not interested in TC. Hopefully, TC just lets it go.
More like Bud vs Benavidez. Or, since Ennis is supposed to beat Bud, Ennis v Benavidez is the fight to make
Or maybe all these "boogymen" aren't actually all that ...
I don't think there's a springboard to Canelo. Dude does wtf he wants lol. Nothing to gain for Crawford fighting Plant. Also, measurables are a huge part in why team Crawford wants Canelo. Roughly the same height, Crawford has the reach and athletic advantage plus he's the biggest name.
