Bud vs Spence is NOT next

[RENE JUNIOR]

I think it is safe to say and be sure that Bud is not fighting Spence next.
He stated himself, as he has MANY times already, that Spence is behind him and that he doesn't need Spence in the post presser.
What's the next best thing for Bud?
I think he should unify with Ugas. He also mentioned moving up in weight, as he has said a long time ago that he was dead serious about and didn't do, so it is hard to take his word that he will move up at this point.
What do you think Bud will do next? Or who should he fight next (taking into consideration Spence is NOT next).

Crawford reiterates he doesn’t care if the Spence fight happens. But he also said the first thing he’ll do once he’s a free agent is ask for the Spence fight and see if TR was really the problem.

I think you’re right. Realistically, the earliest this fight happens is late 2022.

I think both take an interim fight in the first half of 2022 and then maybe we get the best fight in boxing later in the year but I can’t say I’m that optimistic.

I mean, he has said several things that kind of don't coincide.
Yet I highly doubt he tries and/or pushes to fight Spence imho.
We'll see though I hope the best for the champ.

Well said man.
I honestly am not optimistic in them fighting. We can play the blame game all day, which Boxing circles do a lot, yet I really do think a lot has to do with Bud and his team in not getting the fight along with his former boss Bob as Bud himself has confessed that in the post press.
In any case, it sucks and is super lame these guys haven't fought yet.
At the same time, I think Spence could have been more aggressive in seeking Bud to fight him also. Not so sure if both really want it at this point.
Sucks for the fans

Yeah it’s a two way street man, both are culpable for the fight not happening when it really should have. Neither would admit it but I suspect both were content earning multimillions per fight without having to face each other. The best fight the best when they’re 35 instead of 25 these days…

You got a good point.
And that's true, these guys unfortunately wait until around the end of their careers to face each other, it's lame but it is what it is right?
