He is much more likely to get a shot being ibf mandatory as opposed to wbo. First off, ortiz is number one wbo contender and it isn't likely that ennis will be able to leap frog him. Second, josh taylor can very easily decide to move and he will automatically be the wbo mandatory. Third, Boots fights on showtime which is also where spence fights so it would be a much more makeable fight in theory. All that said, spence isn't going to fight him eitherComment

Gamboa had very fast hands, and was a puncher. Even though he was fighting 9 pounds over his weight.Comment

I'd give Spence a better shot against boots than bud for one specific reason. Spence is an old school fighter. He can grind and switch up his style to get the job done. With Boots speed and athleticism, you better be able to cover up, work the body and switch your work rate a lot. You can't wait for boots to give you openings. He will pick you apart. You have to do what Duran did to SRL. Go at him in a measured but consistent pace. No time to rest and smother all those explosive combinations. Keep touching him and backing him up. Tie him up, fight out of the clinch (Mayweather vs Cotto style) and try to rough him up.
That's not Bud. Bud is a technician with a real mean streak. He is Lazer accurate and real sneaky with his counters. But he has that mean streak which is a real detriment when you're fighting a guy that looks a lot like Roy Jones when he has it all working. Getting into exchanges and being determined to counter punch and go to war with a young lion is a good way to get clipped. Boots counters will be a little bit faster than buds and his size and power must be respected. Bud will need to temper that mean streak and just box at times. If he uses his footwork and stays focused on his defense he could get it done. But that's not crawford. He wants to kill his prey instead of stalking it and being patient. He also can't start slow. You give that young man some confidence and it's a wrap.
