all i ever see is damn excuses for why this guy should be allowed to fight washed up crap and avoid any decent fighters. the list is endless 'he needs to prove himself first' 'bud doesnt need him' 'that guys not in the right stable' 'thats a fight for down the line (which never arrives) 'hes buds friend','he lost a split decision to errol spence' 'bud is moving in his own direction' 'something something bob arum' 'hes a eurobum (although that doesnt matter if they are 5 years past their best) as if hes fighting a bunch of world beaters. All i ever see him fighting is a bunch of has beens and never has beens and its always someone else damn fault the guys mid 30s soon he will be 'past prime' and his fans act like hes still in his ****ing nappy, hes been around some of the most loaded divisions in the sport for the past 10 years or so and the riskiest fight ive ever seen him take is ricky burns in scotland, its a damn joke and ive got more of an issue with the fans who defend this crap and seem to actively want him not to be in any sort of decent fight, maybe its to save face as hes been hyped through the roof and it doesnt look good if he stops looking like superman when hes put in with a half decent opponent who actually comes in with a game plan and a desire to win, not just to pick up a damn paycheque!!!!

He gets excused because the welterweight champion he’s supposed to fight refuses to fight him. -
I agree with your sentiments but any fighter would’ve taken the deal Crawford did even though he knew what it meant.
I don’t blame him because nsb poster assessment of Legacy and nsb poster respect don’t pay your mortgage or put your kids through college, money does.Comment

& his fans probably need eyetests too because hes also mr cruisecontrol, content to cruise along but he gets paid well soooooo, thats boxing unfortunately, i have given up a long time following divisions where they dance around each for all eternity, its crazy, there are so many excuses and stories and this and that noone even knows whats going on at all, who actually wants what fights when, who the **** knowsComment

Lmao Bud is the new 3G. Can't wait to see him get embarrassed once he steps up and have his fans claim that his "past prime"Comment

Why? Because I am telling a boxer to put his well being ahead of fans?
I don’t care how much Bud is worth. The fact that you even brought that up is terrible.
I also didn’t say anything about every boxer fighting bums. Context is important and we all know Bob overpaid him to keep pbc from having control of 147.
Bob made Bud an offer only the top .5% of boxers in history could afford to turn down. Canelo is one of the guys who can take a different position given his earning power.
If you feel he should’ve signed with pbc to get the best fights, ok I completely get that. But don’t ask any man to take less money just for your enjoyment.

Who is saying any of those things? I don't see the big boys in the division rushing to fight him all they do is distance themselves or pricing themselves out. As a Crawford fan I grow frustrated at Arum and Crawford but none of these fighters that he needs to be fighting are putting themselves forward, they talk a big game and then talk up some roadblocks.
Arum is a cvnt and a waste of promoter space as far as promoting Bud is concerned as he is a bitter old slag who regrets paying Crawford as much as he does but at the same time the PBC are trying to killing him as an entity to keep him as far away from Spence as possible because they know Crawford likely bests him and takes his belts..
That's why Spence is all about not knowing why Crawford is at his fights calling him out and ignoring questions about Crawford cuz he just wants to play on his farm.. Yes he's said he wants to face him after he's beaten Pacquaio but let's see on that,, PBC fighters have a habit of being verbally brave when there is another fight to be had 1st only to chailnge their tune when it's time to make it.Comment
