    Then earn it. They act like because they passed the eye test against gatekeepers they'll get a shot. Run through the top 10 until you're the mandatory or a title holder gives you a shot.
    It's not hard.

      Fighters today blatantly pad their records and avoid any possibility of risking their 0.

        I've seen Boots on a bad day when the guy didnt stand in front of him. He has problems with movement and he's not a huge hitter. Just the same, I've seen lesser guys get a shot. Me, I think his best chance is Tszyu at 154.

            They show no effort to make the Crawford fight. They won't file petition to the IBF, which takes a few minutes, they won't talk to Showtime's Espinoza. No effort, none, zero.

            Even Crawford had to leave Arum, then talk and do business with Haymon on his own.

            These people want everything handed to them on a silver platter.​

              Sounds like he just needs to force his mandatory. Crawford will vacate, and this allows boots to build hisself up as the champion.

                Learn from Tszyu. Hes making the most of the situation rather than sitting and complaining about Charlo

                  Ennis & Stanionis should fight because both should be mandatory challengers for titles at 147 but the titles could be held up if Spence & Crawford rematch. The situation at welterweight is messy due to having four titles allowing fighters to manoeuvre themselves into certain positions without fighting dangerous opposition.

                    You could have forced the WNO mandatory last year, BOZO Ennis, but you chose the IBF route. You never wanted smoke with Bud.

                      Terence Bud Crawford can now be on any side of the street.
                      Up to Boots to take advantage of all his privileges being a Showtime fighter.
                      The streets now named Crawford Rd.
