    We all know spence should not be fighting at this weight anymore, just look how weak and tired he looked. His punches had no effect, crawford looked fresh and you could tell the weight was in his favor. Then you have these so called fans giving crawford props and talk about how great this fight was. This fight was sad and it truly showed how dead the sport is..I mean Bud will beat anyone as long as the opponent is drained and once fight night comes he's fresh and awake while the opponent is just trying to stay alive lol

      Now I want to see Bud vs. Boots get convinced that Crawford is what we saw last night; a wrecking ball that makes an undisputed world champion look like a cab driver. For me, until last night, Boots Ennis was the best 147 pounder but now I see that as a 50/50 fight. Ennis is a young, fresh, fast, durable, and skilled fighter that Im sure will test Crawford like nobody before and he has a higher chance of an upset.

      Well...unfortunately for us, last night's fight wasn't what he expected and on the contrary, it resulted in a one-sided ass-whooping. Crawford was marvelous and deserves all the credit for what he accomplished, however after further analysis of the fight I have come to the conclusion that Spence wasn't "The Truth" he was "The After Truth"

      After the car accident, I got the feeling that he wasn't the same anymore and it took last night's fight for me to confirm it. He beat 35yo Ugas who was in position for that fight after fighting and beating a retiring 42yo Pacquiao.

      So, last night teach more about what Spence Jr. wasn't than what Bud Crawford is but hopefully that answer comes soon enough in a fight against rising star Jeron Boots Ennis.
      Your first problem was thinking Boots, a guy who's done nothing yet, was better than 2 proven fighters in Spence and Crawford.
      Excuses for Spence huh? He was fine the other fights but now that he got the brakes beat off him, he was washed or done from other factors? Nah, give crawford his respect, Spence could never beat him. Spence fought every fight the same way, and it doesn't work against Bud style, he's too versatile.

      Boots would get wrecked by Crawford, let that guy beat some better fighters first before you crown him some mythical world beater.

          PBC and Boots' team don't want it, they want to build a star.

          This wont be Boots beeing outboxed by the more skilled man and then moving on with his career. He would be brutaly KO'ed and the consequences are no joke.

          Check the video of Crawford calling out Boots bluff and making him look like an idiot.

            At this point in time if a Bud/Boots fight gets made I will be watching. Unless Crawford goes up in weight and fights Charlo or Tszyu there are not many credible opponents for him at this point.

              Bud fans should want to see this fight.

              I don't think we'll ever see Bud vs Jermell, as I don't see Jermell returning to 154 after Canelo, despite what he says.

                I get your point but I dont think Crawford needs to beat Boots to solidify his spot at ww.
