Comments Thread For: Bud Crawford Stands Alone at Welterweight: Weekend Afterthoughts

[Bravo_Zulu]

I think he is going to have leverage to get a fight with Charlo for all those belts at 154 by agreeing to go up in weight for the Spence rematch and beating him a second time. And in the case of a lose could go back to 147 to defend against one of the youngbloods, which I’d guess would be Ortiz before taking on Ennis.

The beauty of it is that Bud is finally and for the first time in the driver seat on fighting whomever he chooses. Only ducks are going to turn down his offers at this point.

Buds no1 ww, but no1 pf p is Inoue

Lmao. No. Dud is no1 in all metrics

Why is nobody not talking Crawford vs Canelo

I have been; that is the superfight! Maybe the timing isn't right as I can't see Canelo ever fighting below 160 again? But what a fight that would be. I can't see anybody below 160 beating Crawford.

Love Inoue, but stop it please. Crawford has been p4p number 1 for a long time, and only fighter to argue against that until Bivol beat him was Canelo.

And you look like you've put on a bit of timber there Hugh. Still hanging around Sunset Boulevard?

I'm a Spence fan, and that L hurt me, but Bud is the best fighter period, not even close. Inoue's most notable win is Fulton. That's not enough to eclipse Bud

Man, they waited 5 years too damn long.

If they'd fought 5 years ago when BUD wanted it, Spence might've at least won the 1st fight & either been able to rematch him or move up to 154 by now.

But nah, PBC are the one who tried to age out Bud, wait him out, and lowball him, in which Spence outgrew the weight & had 2 car wrecks.

This is 100% Spence's camp fault.

THIS is the move that Team Crawford should entertain. If Jermell does come back down, the Tszyu/Crawford winner will be first in line. Crawford dismantled Jeff Horn, so I think the Australian media will have no issues marketing it.

If Jermell drops his titles and Crawford beats Tszyu, he'll still be a 4-weight titlist.

Exactly! This fight makes a lot of dollars and sense for both.

Where's the offer?

If you don't want to play, get off the field!

Tszyu brings nothing to the table just a interim title at least with Charlo he would be lineal and undisputed light middleweight champion.

Why not fly to Australia to fight Tim and make a ****load of money?

Because Tim, as much as I like him, would have zero chance against Bud. If you thought Spence was slow, Tim will make him look like he's in Mach 1. Tsyzu's manager would be crazy to put him in the lion's den against Bud. He has a better chance of beating Charlo and he would have all the belts if he did.
