    I never was high on Spence, he was put on P4P list next to the Usyks, Furys, Nelos and never was on that level, let alone Inoue or Bud.

    Dude used his size to grind close decisions vs Porter and Danny.

    Bud was obviously stopping him.

    PBC did great with Spence.

      He went for the money, and I'm not mad at him! However, when you know ALL the Top WWs were at PBC, and you sign an extension with Top Rank, you can't then say, "they shut me out." Oscar left TR, Mayweather left TR, Cotto left TR, Miikey left TR, and Pacquiao left TR! Bud chose to stay. However, he's PBC now, and I guarantee you he made Top Dollar last night!

        To be honest I doubt Bud has any real competition at ww after last night perfomance dont see boots or any other capable of handling that work.

        Maybe TC could test waters at 154 even as far as 160 ,undisputed in third division seems possible that would be special hiatus.

          I see Crawford moving to 154 sooner than later, the question is will he give Ennis a chance to fight!?

            The extension added 1 year you idiots. Extension or no, he was still only due out of his contract circa 2020. And even if he got out then, Spence would’ve continued to play the “gotta clean my side of the street” game while unifying at a snails pace.

              Boots is the only fighter from 147 on up, that can do things in the ring, that Crawford does! The only question is whether he's better than Crawford? If they never fight, we'll never get to know, and that would be sad!

                I hope he does before moving up in weight but like I said Boots most likely would suffer same fate as Spence. Bud clearly on another level.

                  Spence fought the only way he knows and that's to come forward behind the jab and apply pressure. I posted before the fight that Crawford would catch him coming in and that's exactly what happened. Spence was a credible champion. He took his titles from the champions, no vacant titles. I just think that the WW division was a little soft compared to other era's. Spence deserved all the shine he had before the Bud fight. I don't think he was overrated, I just think that the division was ripe for the taking after Floyd retired.
                  The WW division has never been and never will be soft. Anybody who stands alone atop the WW division is an undeniable badass.

                    boots looks like he may even be faster twitched. Ge may be faster twitched physically but whether he can process things mentally like bud i dont know. If bud is a mix if sugar Ray and Floyd boots is a mix of bud and roy Jones Jr.

                    I never seen errol as the real challenge to bud, he's not special but Ennis is. I agree his competition hasn't been brilliant but people simply avoid fighting him and for good reason. He'd also wipe the floor with spence

                      I had Crawford to win because I know how good of a boxer he is but his record is horrible He has Amir Khan and Kell Brook on his recent record. Good fighters in *their time* but old when he fought them. Crawford hardly fights anyone. He's a low-risk fighter. Took him long enough to fight Spence
