Comments Thread For: Crawford: Fightin' Boots Is Lose-Lose Situation; I Deserve To Do Whatever The F--- I Wanna Do!

They didn’t fight everybody too.

None of those guys wanted to fight Mike Mccallum

They were all champions and they all fought each other IN THEIR ULTIMATE PRIMES….maybe minus SRL/Hagler…again, all were champions, all fought each other in their primes…all were the best of their times. It didn’t matter about “high risk low reward” bull****. They fought pure and simple

God damn right you do. Crawford’s the baddest man on the planet right now. Beat down Jermell after Canelo let’s him have it but only at 54.

Jermall just looks pilled out now. What happened to that dude. These guys make too much money and just throw away the best years of their lives.

Perfect ending would be ...

Charlo (WBC, WBA, IBF)
Big Charlo (weigh in at 155 and take a 5th division title at MW)
Tzsyu (Back down to 154 to complete the undisputed at 3 weights)
Boots (by this time Boots will have more of a claim at a shot and I along with everyone else who knows the sport knows this is his only and biggest threat left in his career can't retire without seeing it threw Bud)

Ortiz and Thurman are the only other two remotely viable options for paydays.

I am a huge Bud fan and don't think Boots can beat Bud but it's the only name left out there I am not a billion percent sure Bud won't embarrass. Regardless I'll buy all these PPV's.

Bud suggested that Charlo will fight Tszyu after Canelo to grab the WBO belt (again) and then fight Bud

I would prefer Bud get that WBO strap from Tszyu as it would keep him busy before Charlo

I fully agree with Bud, a Charlo fight is even bigger, better, and a win by Crawford will really be an incredible achievement, definitely hard to beat, undisputed at 3 divisions.

It's all up to Crawford what he does next. No one can do anything about it. Good part is Bud Crawford has no history of holding on to his previous belts once he moves up. So Ennis and others just have to wait for those titles when they become available and up for grabs.

I know that a lot of users on NSB would call this ducking by Crawford but if the shoe was on Errol Spence's foot; He would have done the exact same thing because neither guy has anything to prove by fighting Jaron Boots Ennis but everything to lose. Besides, Ennis has nothing that those two want. He is trying to get what those two got.

Some people on here really don’t know their boxing history.Once Leonard got victories over Duran and Hearns he didn’t want to give either man a rematch until he thought they were too old .Marvin made all 3 come up to challenge him and had no desire to fight Michael Spinks .

it isn't ducking if he's moving up , at best they could criticize him for not defending the belts at least once.

but if a guy moves up to fight a more difficult opponent, you can't in good faith say he's ducking. only if he stayed at 147 and just avoided Boots, that's a duck
