With the whole rematch fiasco, at this point I have come to accept that Bud probably won't fight anyone in general until around summer again, as usual once per year. Why isn't Boots considering other options in the mean time while pushing for an unlikely Bud fight? He is 26 and he last fought before Crawford last fought. He could've fought once or even twice before Crawford fights anyone next, and still be in line to push for a fight. So if Bud continues to mull his options which obviously doesn't have Boots very high, is Boots going to just sit around and wait for the rest of the year? Bud doesn't care about Boots because he already got the accolades and will do what would get him the most money. Not the greatest feeling for boxing fans wanting to see good matches, but understandable on a business standpoint.
