    Got a time stamp? I distinctly remember Floyd saying, on camera, that Bud was the best fighter in boxing today.

      The late money came in for Crawford. A poster made a thread about it.

      Floyd is on camera picking Crawford.

      I havent heard anything about a large bet late or early.

        Floyd is on record as saying that he felt that Crawford was the best active fighter. He's said it multiple times.

        He wanted it to be competitive, because he's a real fan.
        That makes about 3 or 4 pro fighters that have said as much. This on top of the 15 month layoff... I saw Spence in the dressing room and he looked like he hadn't rehydrated well. It would explain why he was so bad.

        That said, I don't think that had much to do with his lack of a gameplan, feints or head movement. Spence mentioned his timing being off, but it's a lot more than that.

          There are styles that woulda beaten Floyd. Also Floyd retired to hide from Cotto.

          Bud wants to fight everyone in his class, and he destroys them all.

          Floyd was a cherry picker, and frankly, scored very few scoring punches post Zab Judah. Just touching ppl, not punching em.

          Floyd fought ppl at the right time. Dude was always just a pu$$y after the zab fight
          The idea that Floyd ducked Margarito is ridiculous.

            So what you're saying is, Joe Calslappy ducked threats?

              You guys that hate Floyd. You surely picked against him multiple times. After he wins, the only thing is to denigrate.

              Sore loser stuff.

              That is what good promoters do- they promote the fight to maximize viewers and ppv purchases. Youre mad that his team did their jobs welll?

              Oh yeah- I forgot. Its Haymon and his staff. We all know why this makes you upset.
              Sure it is, you are either woke and sensitive to the struggles of the trans community or you aren't. You are ridiculing and kink shaming someone, which is frowned upon by the trans community which you vehemently defend on every thread. You call us dinosaurs for not respecting the trans community, yet you ridicule someone for cross-dressing, yes, that makes you a hypocrite.

              Floyd never defeated an elite level fighter at their best. That is a fact. You cannot name an elite level fighter who he beat at their best.

              Haymon has not created one superstar.

                Does Spence always have that lazy eye look?? Bruh looks like he hasn't slept in days.

                  When you're dehydrated, your brain just doesn't work right.

                  I was pissing damn near brown one time during the pandemic, and I flat out forgot how to work features in my car for a hot minute.

                  It's no joke.

                    Making up ridiculous extremes.

                    He defeated undefeated Corrales and undefeated Hatton when they ranked in the top 10 p4p.

                    Canelo and Tank are the 2 biggest draws in the sport. Canelo was put on Floyd’s undercards. His biggest fight was with Haymon. Tank was built completely by PBC.

                      Yawn, Corrales was not an elite or at his best, and Hatton was not elite or at his best either.

                      Tank was built by Mayweather and his followers. His biggest fight was with a Golden Boy fighter who brought the numbers and buyers with his social media influence.

                      Canelo was 22 and weight drained. Floyd insisted that Tank at 25 was too young for Loma and that "he will be 40 eventually" when aske if they would fight him.

                      You are easily led by your bias and ignorance. It's easy to see why.
