    Did Bud duck prime Spence?

    Bud never bothered to leave Top Rank while Spence was in his prime. He repeatedly said he didn’t need the fight. That 50/50 maybe wouldn’t be enough. Signed to fight Avaneysan in the middle of negotiations, etc

    But somehow when Spence gets in 2 car accidents, suffers an eye retina injury, has multiple layoffs, Bud finally has the balls to fight him. Was this planned? Did Bud know that 2018 Spence was too much for him?

    This is some funny chit
    Spence is not on Bud’s level , not now and not before
    Errol just made his retirement money
    Think about that while your stating that Crawford was the one ducking
    Spence imo , will most likely retire with that hard night’s work
    Stop with the fughin excuses

      Other way around

      Spence literally said he wants to clean his side of the street first

      Top Rank and PBC worked together multiple times. They just wanted none of Bud

      Spence also confirmed implicitly it when he got the pac fight. Saying ppl wanted him to go another path, but taking a careful path has lead him to Pacquiao. And its a business, and you have to be smart.

        I agree. Stop with the fugging excuses. The fight didn't happen 5 years ago for a lot of reasons; politics, egos and promoters.

        Many people avoided wanting to fight Bud when he was coming up, Lomachenko being one of them. Saying he was too big, too tall, long reach and a good boxer.

        It's been proven last weekend.

            I like Spence, but, he got absolutely poleaxed. I think Crawford washes him @ 154, too.

                  That has no meaning after the fact, before the fact Errol was a 50/50 as far as the majority of boxing was concerned, did Bud duck Errol of course not the reason they didn't fight earlier was money, these level of fighters duck nobody it's all about business.

                    I was a Crawford fan way before the accident and still believed Bud would beat him
                    Some just don’t wanna give credit when they should
                    Anyway Spence didn’t look like damaged goods in his previous two fights
                    So , why can’t we just say Bud is on another level instead of starting bullchit threads ?
