Comments Thread For: Crawford: 'I See A lot of Spence Fans Mad at Me and Jumping on Boots Sack Now!'

[Griever0730]

Crawford has bigger business to attend to. He ain't getting any younger and at this stage of his career, fighting an up-and-comer like Ennis, who is uber-talented but doesn't bring notoriety(aside from the hardcores), nor big money to the table, does nothing for Crawford. Would still love to see this fight. Extremely rare to see two guys who switch stances and are highly skilled from both sides fight each other.

Amazing how these fantasy fights have created an industry of click-baiters on Youtube. Just so damn hard to stomach how people would just make things up.

I have never seen anything like the ******ity concerning Bud. I mean it is like he stole the poster Leicerstage's spouse or something.

The dude has beaten a bunch of top ten guys, has been undisputed in three weight classes and was ducked by PBC for years. He destroyed the same Spence that beat Garcia and Ugas. He has a contractual rematch with Spence. Ennis turned down a fight with Bud last frickin year. Now he is calling Bud out when he knows Bud has a rematch with Spence.

If Bud hangs on to the belts at WW for a year and refuses his mandatories, I will say that he needs to drop them or move up. But he has to do this rematch before anything. How can anyone be too ****** to understand that?

Amazing how they're able to make a celebrity out of a Ennis guy who is not even active and fought fringe opponents 99% of his career.

Did Spence go into witness protection?

Yeah I hear you about the business side of it. But, your last sentence is exactly why I would rather see Boots-Crawford than any other fight that Bud could make.

Contractual rematches have become the bane of boxing!! I honestly do not see how it is good for the sport except create prima donnas and keep deserving fighters on the sidelines...sometimes for years!!!

They always want a guy to beat the guy who beat their guy... I'd rather see him take the rematch at 54... and then beat Tszyu and then beat Charlo and ride off into the sunset as an ATG...

Yes, si, oui, hai, whatever other language of yes yes yes, written word for word what I want.

If the Spence rematch is absolutely necessary, then fine just do it at 154 to be Crawford's "tune up" fight at his first time at 154 sometime in the first half of next year, then take Tszyu (who seems very open to the idea of facing Crawford) to become a four division champ at the beginning of 2025 and and then set up an undisputed fight with Jermell for a one last cash grab fight (before Jermell gets stripped further) for the end of 2025, and at 38 years old 43-0 four division champ who went three time undisputed and retire into the sunset for a story book ending.

Canelo? Just give me a fight with Benavidez then go up to rematch Bivol or Beterbiev and I don't care what else he does. Canelo isn't going to gain any extra points in his legacy for defeating Crawford (just like he got no credit for defeating Jermell) and Crawford will just be selling his zero for a **** ton of cash, while also likely throwing away the chance of making history at 154.

Bud deserves all the praise and flowers he is a future hof. I believe if he retired today his legacy and overall resume would be kind of thin as far as names. With that being said, becoming undisputed in two weight classes in the 4 belt era is a huge accomplishment, Regardless if Spence did the heavy lifting for him at 47. Bud still went in there vs Spence and handled business. He should be focusing the rest of his time in the hurt game on enhancing his legacy by beating top names, he needs names on his resume at this point, Ennis is a great talent but at the moment isn’t accomplished and we can’t for sure say he will be in the future because no one knows that. Jermell at 54, Spence at 54, canelo at 68, even the Aussie tszyu at 54 would all enhance his legacy more than a boots win would right now. Those are the facts but id still rather see him vs boots then any other fight, because that would close the debate as far as who is best at 47. Similar to canelo, until he beats benavidez and Morell at 68 we can’t say he is the best at 68 regardless of the undisputed title. But this is boxing, and say bud beats boots and canelo beats both David’s, there will always be another one that they are “ducking” or that would “beat” them. It is what it is

[Slip jab]

Does Spence fans still care about the split or nah

They hiding behind Boots now huh lol in reality, they were never “fans “ of Errol, they are PBC fan girls created to hide the fact that PBC fighters are protected. AF!!! From guys who have been groomed. TR groomed Bud, GB Canelo. Look at Spence and Charlo. Look at how Tank is brought up. Has he ever fought a Top 10 guy in any of the Wts he fought at???? Top 5??? You know damn well tank will go anywhere near Teo
