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

[RENE JUNIOR]

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.

I mean, people say that because his last performance was quite bad man. Can't blame what spectators say.

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

Well, for the past couple years the opponents Bud has been fighting doesn't make much sense either. That's what leads me to believe what I am saying. Hey, if it doesn't happen how I say I don't care, but based off of Bud's moves in opponents for the past couple years, sure seems like he will opt for NOT going to PBC once his Top Rank contract is up, or better yet, He might even stay with Top Rank longer, I wouldn't be surprised. Regarding legacy, Bud doesn't have much at welterweight.

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.

Yeah I doubt Top Rank will be bowing out of the business. They have a big stable and seem quite well off.

Prograis is more flat-footed, perfect for Bud to pick apart but youa re right with your list. But I see all three of them guys quite easy for Bud

Yeah if anything it would make more sense for Crawford to face Josh Taylor instead. Taylor has beaten both Prograis and Ramirez and it would be a matchup of the last two undisputed champs at 140. Bud would still be favored but at least Josh is riding high

He will probably fight another tin can or make a move on Josh Taylor.

That can possibly happen, but the way Bob is speaking, probably not. Seems like Bob is the one with the final decisions.

I mean that would be an interesting fight, but to me all these 140 options are not really exciting if they move up to 147 because as it is Bud has fought all mediocre opposition at 147.

If that’s true then wouldn’t Josh Taylor represent a step up? I’m not saying Taylor is one of the elite guys at 147 but he is certainly not mediocre

As a welterweight, dud has pretty much been a big disappointment.

A dud indeed. Like a firework you expect to explode and it just fizzles out.

Bud clogging up the division. It's better for the division and for boxing if he gives up that belt.
