Comments Thread For: Alexis Rocha Embraces Possibility of Facing Terence Crawford Next

[Rebelrbg]

As far as the WW highpoints, It's the same fcking resume as Spences. All you got is Danny Garcia and these days he'd be hard pressed to defeat the Mean Machine, so that isn't anything to be bragging on.

What are you talking about, he fought 3 champions for their belts and every top contender at the time, Crawford fought JEFF FXCKING HORN for his belt, and retiring or mid-tier fighters ever since, its called reality.

Sure, champions and top contenders, got it.

Same basic WW resume because Brook and Porter are the only WW fighters even worth mentioning for either. Brook was less than a year removed from being stopped at 160 pounds and Porter the respectable but perennial also ran, trial horse. Neither Crawford nor Spence have WW resumes worth bragging on.

there's no real difference no matter how you try to say otherwise. The big difference is that Crawford fights a little more often so has a few more mediocre fighters.

As a champion, when has Spence ever jumped to fight someone on Rocha's level?

Lamont Peterson and Carlo O Crapo. Rocha would beat both. It's a toss up between Rocha and Ugas. Hell Mikey went life or death with Vargas and I'd rate Rocha on Par with Vargas with potential to be a bit better.

Spences best win by far is Danny Garcia.

Stop making excuses for Ennis who is backed by a premiere network Showtime, while free agent Crawford will only be waiting for offers. You people want him to leave Arum. He did. Ennis and his people should have taken advantage of the situation. You can't expect everything would be handed on a silver platter for Ennis. 31 fights and he should be pro-active in making fights happen for him.

You are right. Ennis should be proactive.
Exactly same way Kavaliauskas, Rocha, Broner and Ugas are in “going after” Crawford.
Crawford, the top guy at WW can just sit and wait for people to call him out or send him contracts. That’s how he got the Khan and Brook fights.

That’s how greatness is built. Sitting tight and waiting for Brandon Rios Calibre fighters.

Carlos Ocampo's only 2 losses out of 36 fights is Spence and 154 lber Fundora, and he went all 12 with Fundora. Lamont Peterson was a 2 division champion and considered one of the top fighters at 147. Peterson would have destroyed Rocha, Mikey was a 4 division champion that Crawford managed to avoid in multiple divisions, and Garcia challenged Errol, and Spence gave him what he was looking for. Rocha wouldn't have even made it into the ring with Mikey, Garcia wouldn't have wanted to fight someone of that level.

Why ask a question if you already know the answer?

Team Spence would jump at the chance to face Rocha but everyone wants to hate on Bud lol

The logic you guys is hilarious. If Spence fought Rocha, it would be wrong and we’d call him out on it. The Thurman fight is wrong.

Crawford continues to fight mediocre guys is wrong. It has nothing to do with Spence.
Khan, Brook, Kavaliauskas, Rocha, Broner, Brandon Rios .. the list goes on.

Boots was more than willing, hell, Boxing Scene had an article on it about a month or two ago, and Bud said that Boots name never came across his desk, LOL, fxcking coward.

———-
Bud said that “Boots name never came across his desk”. Wow!
So, Bud knows the WW landscape and knows Boots is the guy everyone wants him to fight (he’s even said that himself) BUT because “Boots name never came up”, Bud elects to fight Avanesyan, Rocha and maybe Broner next because “Boots name never came up”!

This is incredible stuff to read. You are literally acknowledging what we say about him yet continue to defend him.

After he knocks out Rocha and Brandon Rios or Broner’s names come across his desk, that’ll the fight he takes because “Boots name never came up.”

Brook and Porter were both in their prime. Brook got stopped at 160 because he was chasing greatness, as you guys like to say for Cinnabon. He challenged GGG, the fighter no one wanted to face in that division, and moved 2 weight classes up to fight him. There's a huge difference between 160 and 147. Before the GGG fight Brook was undefeated, and by the time Spence fought him in 2017, Brook was the IBF champion and Ring magazine ranked him as the top welterweight in the world.

Porter was the WBC champion and only had one loss to Thurman when Spence fought him. When Crawford fought them, they both were on their last lap before retirement. Spence fought the 3 current champions and took their straps, and former champions, there's no comparison.

Keep on fooling yourselves and keep enabling a guy who got 31 fights on his record yet still waiting, waiting, waiting for Christmas to happen for him. Crawford was approached by BLK, Frank Warren and now GBP. While this Ennis guy who keeps yapping about how he wants the Crawford fight in a heartbeat does nothing.
