Comments Thread For: Crawford Dismisses Ennis: 'I'm Looking for Bigger and Better Opportunities, Like Charlo'

[Raggamuffin]

Bud does not beat Boots as easy as people think. Boots is young, fast, hungry, has good defense and has great lateral movement. Bud even said that Boots reminds him of himself. This is high praise from Crawford. If and when he loses to Boots, then his earning potential drops significantly. Bud is not invincible like people make him out to be. He is top pound for pound today, no doubt. Bud is being a good business man and capitalizing on his success.

Bud gets hit too. All boxers get hit at some point and time. Boots punches from different angles and does not get hit when he punches. He has that Philly shell and great lateral movement. He is an up and coming fighter. So yes he must prove himself. Ali, Tyson, Hagler, Hearns, Leonard, Crawford, all of these guys had to prove themselves. People didn't think Ali would beat Liston, or that Hearns would beat Cuevas or that Mayweather would beat Hernandez. Holmes knew he could beat Ali in 1975 but was not given a chance to fight Ali because Ali knew better. Same logic goes with Bud. Bud knows better. DO NOT DISMISS BOOTS SO QUICKLY. Boxing politics and business tactics from Bud will keep him from fighting Boots.

Boots hasnt fought one threat at all yet. He’s been feasting on bums.. He fought a mover and looked very ordinary. Stop overrating him lmao…

Please quote me where I trashed Crawford

You can't because your just in your feelings because I made you my bltch in the other thread lmfao

You mean when I exposed you for being too dumb to know the difference between "you're" and "your?" Or when I exposed you for hoping Lomachenko turns down a Stevenson fight because you can't stand watching him lose again.

Yeah, you really got me

If it’s a question of money then obviously Bud would make $20 million plus in Australia so sure but Bud fought Avanesyan and Kavaliauskas BOTH ranked below Boots.
Whether Bud beats Boots or not, Boots is the top contender at 147. Nothing wrong if Bud moved to 154.
I’m just correcting that Anus of a warthog and his delusions

It depends on which organization has him ranked as the top contender. You have Ortiz, Stanionis and Ennis as top contenders under different orgs…

He'd still be the biggest name and biggest fight available at 154. Who else is there? Tim Tszyu, Brian Mendoza, Keith Thurman, Spence rematch? The Charlo fight for lineal would be bigger regardless of the outcome of the Canelo fight.

For the record, I think it's doubtful Charlo returns to 154 either way.

Keith Thurman? Really? Keith has recently popped into public view lately, but I don't think a fight with him will draw much interest. Plus it is unlikely that he would fair any better than Spence did.

I agree, if Thurman was a force at WW against the top guys, and being a full-sized WW, he should have stopped Barrios, a 135-pounder did, its just the way I see the form of Thurman, way to many issues.

Boots has potentially the easiest route in the history of boxing in becoming undisputed at 47

Bud's going down as top 5 goat, if he beats Jermell

To you and a few others who don't know no better. Much respect for Jermell as I've always liked him much better than Jermall. He's a dog and fights anyone. But it's not like 154 was stacked just like 140 wasn't stacked when Bud cleaned it out.

Crawford has proved that he's ONE of the best of this Era. But all these mayweather comparisons and goat convos are premature at best. The guy didn't have a career defining fight til close to 36. In just my generation alone I couldn't put him over Hopkins, Ward, Mayweather, or even Canelo. Top 5 goat for beating Jermell Charlo? So I guess Canelo can claim that too then? No.

He needs 2 or 3 more wins against elite foes to even be considered best of this Era imo. That goat and mayweather comparisons is pure new breed internet nonsense.

All this s$$$ is becoming overrated. Beating a guy that has all the belts is definitely an accomplishment. But these guys beat the man that beat 2 other men without having to fight those other men.

Prime example is Haney. Who they didn't even put on p4p til he got the undeserved decision over loma. And still Loma is right behind him in rankings. That's why I have lots of respect for Spence although he got destroyed. And Jermell although 154 wasn't the strongest division. Guys that take the belts from multiple fighters vs just waiting rather purposely or coincidentally til the other guys lose.

I remember when everyone fought everyone. And ****** triangle theories were destroyed by doing so. The fighter that beat this fighter lost to the fighter that that fighter beat. There won't be anyway to find out in this Era because it's automatically assumed that person is better without fighting. Guess it's the art of fighting without fighting.

Sorry Boots, but time to be proactive! At this point, all I see is 4 good options, (in order): Tszyu @ 154, Stanionis @ 147, Thurman @ 147, Mendoza @ 154! You won't get any credit for fighting Ugas, because Spence beat him badly! Even beating Thurman is not gonna move the needle, because he hasn't has a solid performance since DSG in 2017, and has been very inactive since then, but he's a former Champion. At least Tszyu would bring the bag, but you might have to go to Australia to get it!
