Bud Crawford's next potential opponent: Ramirez, Zepeda or Prograis!

[STREET CLEANER]

I rather Prograis had a fight or two at WW. It was known already that he would be fighting someone coming up from 140. None of those fights do anything for Bud, Ramirez is one dimensional, Zepeda left something a couple of fights ago and Prograis is the better choice but unknown at that weight. Now I will watch hoping that Bud gets caught and KOed, done waiting for him to step it up.

His next TR contract won't be so lucrative though. He's better off trying PBC. If not that, then contact Hearn and face the likes of Avanesyan or Mikey Garcia. If Hearn is slick enough, he may be able to make Crawford/Benn late next year.

Yeah, I think Bud will opt for Hearn for a maximum 2 fight deal and retire

There's a lot of money to be made with DAZN, and Crawford should give the UK market a try to see if the grass is greener on the other side. I can see Hearn matching him against Avanesyan and McKinson, while building up Benn's profile in order to match him against Crawford later on. The ideal scenario for Hearn would be Benn becoming WBO champion. Matchroom has to make a play for TC once his contract is up.

All three are better than any of the PBC welterweights, hold Spence.

What you smoking.Shawn porter would mop the floor with all of them

Yeah Zepeda not looking so hot after that Baranchyk war and Ramirez is probably too much of a come forward face-first kinda guy for Crawford. I wholeheartedly agree, apart from you know rather seeing him fight a real top 5-10 welterweight but this is better than a nobody.

Are people really buying that the Baranchyk fight took something out of Zepeda? If it did anything it was that it made him believe in his power. All he tried to do all night vs Lundy was try to knock him out. The Baranchyk fight didn’t take anything out of him, he needs to get out of his complacency and go back to boxing is all.

For less money and less legacy? Maybe, but it doesn't make much sense.

You are king of the truly ignorant posts.........

I can see TopRank bowing out of boxing in the next few years. This is embarrassing

With Fury, Beterbiev, Smith, Crawford, Taylor, Stevenson, Valdez, Navarette, Inoue and others under contract. Seems like you didn't think that post out very well.

I think that will happen, i think that Bud knows the competition is too tough for him at PBC.
