    A better answer: vacate the belts, fight who you want, and let the young guys come up and challenge for the titles among themselves. Especially Matias and Teofimo.
    I agree with you. Bud should vacate the belts if he goes up to 154 lbs to fight Spence.

      But NSB said it’s not ducking because nobody knows who Boots is (but apparently they knew who Avanesyan and Kavaliauskas were).

        And who would make things difficult in your opinion?

        In any case for a fight to happen, willingness from two teams is needed first, and it's not at this stage yet.

          Sir, I am from a different generation of boxing where there was only one champion and he usually fought the #1 contender. I have been watching boxing for over 45 years and started watching my first fight when Ali fought Ken Norton the first time. Back then everybody fought everybody and didn't wait for the other guys to age out or lose his abilities in the ring. I remember the start of Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Larry Homes, Hagler, Tyson, Lewis, Bowe, etc etc all of their damn careers. Back in those days champions fought the #1 contender because the best fought the best.

          It isn't about ignoring the logical stuff but expecting Crawford to fight Spence and then down the line fight Boots. If you read some of my later threads then you would have seen this. I am not the only one mentioning Bud's reluctance to fight Boots. But for some reason you seem to be singling me out. Go find someone else to f%%k with because I know boxing and know it well.

          If you don't like my comments then gloss over them and move on.
          You are capping ! Bowe ducked Lewis and lots of titles were split .Fact

            Both Canelo and Tszyu are way better, tougher and more significant fights for Bud than facing boots right now lets face it Crawford would smash Ennis to bits. Dont see anything special on Boots arsenal that could trouble TC at 147. I prefer to watch Bud moving up in weight like only truly special greats do.

              I want to see fights brother, not people who are called fighters spending vast amounts of time waiting around hoping doing nothing. I want to see activity not just big talks. If you enjoy playing blame games, good for you. I'm just one fan and I can't make fights happen for you. If you think it can't happen and enjoy blaming the Bud, that's good. And if you're okay with boxers not fighting often, what can I say?

                I'm not your brother and your post isn't making any sense.

                Crawford is saying clearly in this article he's not interested at all in Ennis, but you ignored it and somehow started to bring up unrelated nonsense.

                  31-0, 28 KOs, welterweight contender. that's enough credentials for me.

                    Canelo would be a tougher fight, tszyu, not so much. Other than weight, tszyu doesnt bring much to the table.

                      Dropped WBO mandatory and went for vacant IBF belt

                      Drop the phone when Black Prime called.

                      That's good enough for me to know F' Ennis and his Dad and their BS

                      As I said, at least Oscar was sober and honest for once and said we aren't putting Virgil in the ring with Crawford.
