Yeah Bread, I agree, Spence & Crawford are better off fighting each other (or Vergil Ortiz Jr.) than fighting Ennis! On the flip side, the longer they wait, the more likely they are to lose! Better to fight Boots at 24 than at 28! IBF, please order Abukakhorov vs. Ennis! That's all I want for Christmas! Vergil has two #1 spots, and I want Ennis in the IBF spot! They can't run from the YGs for long! MAN UP!

I think Jermall beats Andrade and stops him, but the fight still needs to happen for it to count. If Jermall beats Andrade and Benavidez he becomes a clear front runner to fight Canelo.

When Boots is 28 I don't think he'll even still be at 147. But if he is Bud will be 38. I don't see Bud fighting another 4 years. But - yeah, I agree with your general point if not the '4 years' example you used. Ennis will get better with every fight and/or every 3 months. Bud is already late-prime and is probably slipping with every 6 months that pass. The more I think about it the less I think they'll fight. Mayweather didn't fight Thurman. Thurrman didn't fight Spence and now I think Spence and Crawford won't fight Ennis.
If Ortiz can get a couple of fights to increase his star power such as beating Danny or Keith then I think it'd make financial sense for Bud or Spence to fight Ortiz. Ennis is gonna have to wait, unfortunately for the fans.

I think it only takes Benavidez! Canelo wants to fight Jermall, but I think he wants Jermall to do something special first! Benavidez would be special!

Excellent boxing analysis. Rather omit politics on this site though.

Bread likes to always bring up the fact that Canelo tested positive, and that's why he has Crawford above Canelo, fair enough. But what bread does not tell you is that Canelo has been enrolled in VADA for a whopping 13 fights way more than any current champion, Fury is a distant second with 7 fights under VADA. Ask bread how many times Crawford has been enrolled in VADA? If I'll tell you, one, once, one single time Crawford has been enrolled in VADA, did the Porter fight have VADA? Nope, even though the Porter's pushed for it, did the Plant fight have VADA testing for Canelo, Yes, and the fight prior to that, prior to that, ect ect. Not saying Crawford is dirty, but it's easy not to test positive when you're not taking the test, forget the little test the commission gives you before the fight, that can be beat by anyone, VADA is urine and blood, it's a lot harder to get through that testing. But hey, bread is not biased right? I'll tell you what once Crawford gets in the program, then you can talk about testing.

I think you're right, but I think Ennis might catch Spence @ 154! Ortiz would sell right now, with either fighter, especially in Texas, or L.A.! Unfortunately, the WBC ordered him to fight Avanesyan! That's going to be a good fight, and a great test for Vergil! If he wins, he has to get a shot at the WBC Champion in 2022! That's what I want for Boots with the IBF! Give him a final eliminator now, with Abdukakhorov!

this is a NUKE of hardcore facts. Only a select few on this site, like myself, point these things out. ShoulderRoll would appreciate your post

It’s probably because Stephen Edwards like various other disgruntled Americans don’t like that Mexicans are in another “minority” pool like them within American Economics. Though the difference between Blacks and Mexicans on the origins in USA land are different. Many of Bread’s types were probably raised and influenced by their parents for how unfair life is. So Bread grows up brainwashed thinking like that. For instance many of them feel that the USA owes them more than any other “ethnic” group considering they helped build America…

so all that accumulation of hate on top of Julian Williams just got his ass handed to him again, though this time by some unknown Mexican as of late and lost, of course Bread ain’t funna accept Mexican BIDNESS up in this hoe. He used to be on LDBC streams couple years back and his manner of talking on those shows were all hood like Ebonics whereas if you hear his interviews like from fight Hype he is in different character like Ray Flores up in this hoe!

I really like Bread's breakdown of Charlo and Andrade with the analogy of rapper styles. I think it's how I've always thought of the two but would have never articulated like that. Good stuff.
