Shakur Stevenson On Video ADMITTING He Advised Terence Crawford To DUCK Boots Ennis

[Smash]

smart business decision

why fight a young fresh highly hyped dangerous guy when u can rematch a zombie & then take a show fight v the ginger menace himself

[Combat Talk Radio]

Couldn't agree more.

Crawford hasn’t defended IBF, he defended WBO.

IBF doesn’t recognize rematch clauses. That’s why Spence never did it when he was champ, same as Porter and Brook.

Crawford had to defend or vacate.

The Spence fight didn't go as planned so now we're on to another Boogeyman used to degrade Bud Insanity! Lol

I can't imagine Shakur has that much influence over what Terence does with his career.

[Cobra Curry]

1. Boots was ranked #1 in the WBO and left the rankings.
2. Boots turned down a direct shot at Crawford out of "loyalty to Showtime"
3. Spence has a rematch clause.

Boots was obviously waiting for the title go vacant.

Idk that Igaf about belts like you do nor do I think other fans should either.

Look til Bud fights at 154 he's #1 at 147 regardless if he's got no belts or all the belt or anything in between. Boots looks promising & imo will be the #1 guy one day himself, but he's not #1 now nor does it make sense for Bud vs Boots to happen with Bud like a fight or two from retirement most likely. Everything else who gaf about. Belts are all trash these days. #1 matters, belts don't & Boots having a belt doesn't alter his status beyond making him more attractive to his next opps.

Bud was on the outside looking in for a long ass time. Now he's on the inside & he ain't gonna look towards his window wanting in. He's gonna smartly fight the money fights til he retires as he should. Let this mfer get paid.

And idk if Bud needed Shakur's insight here at all. So I doubt Shakur swayed him.

Can't duck when contractually obligated. We know u love Email Ennis, but calm down a bit kid

Fair enough but it still seems a bit premature seeing as he has only just won the title.

Crawford just defended the IBF 3 months ago

No he didn't. He won it three months ago. Spence was the defending titleholder that night. You've written this twice so you're obviously confused about something.
