    Breaking: Terrence Crawford looking for ways to duck #1 WBO ranked contender Vergil Ortiz and #2 WBO ranked contender Boots Ennis, Begs to the IBF to make him a mandatory.




    IBF likely denies Crawford’s request, unless he’s willing to fight an IBF mandatory eliminator vs #3 IBF Boots Ennis or #4 IBF contender Vergil Ortiz.

    Crawford has nowhere to run. If he can’t get the Spence fight in 2022. WBO will likely order Crawford-Ortiz or Crawford-Ennis.

    Spence still has some leeway as former 154lber Cody Crowley is now the IBF #1 contender. And Spence will likely face this guy as tuneup fights after 15+ months of inactivity.

    It is not ducking. He is trying to get Spence to fight him.

      In my opinion, it's a step backwards for Bud to fight boots or ortiz, those guys are 10 years younger, he has everything to lose.
      He is doing right by going after spence who has other belts and after that maybe moving up to superwelter would be a good move. Bud does not have much time left.

        So Crawford wanting to force a fight against the apparent chief of the division is ducking other fighters?

          That's kind of what I was thinking. Those other guys ain't going anywhere soon.

          He really wants Spence. On his social media account he was swimming in the ocean saying where ya at Spence!!! MF'er hiding where I can't find you.

          I don't think he likes Spence at all.

            He wants to unify especially now with all the drama that Spence has had with the inactivity.
