Comments Thread For: If No Spence Rematch, Antonio Tarver Believes Crawford Has To Fight Ennis Next

[Phase III]

The Magic Man is spot on. Crawford will avoid Ennis at all cost. Ennis is Crawford’s kryptonite.

That looks like the plan, and Boots is azz out! To make matters worse, he had a deal with SHO (Not PBC), and SHO is out of business! On top of that, his promoter Cameron Dunkin dies! I don't know where Boots goes from here?

You'd think there'd be a mad rush to sign him up with huge offers. Tim says he has a multi fight contract signed up recently - who with? Amazon or PBC? Can't understand why Ennis can't get that same deal.

Personally I think Bud knows this and is letting the appetite for this fight build, like it has been for the past 6 months.

Boots is the younger, more athletic guy but that's where it ends.

An intriguing fight that I want to see, but Crawford should be a comfortable favorite.

Hopefully Bud announces he is vacating or fighting Ennis in the next month. Like to see some movement before Spring. I'd love to see Bud v Ennis.

As far as Spence, no idea what the hell. I suppose Showtime leaving is making it a mess, but at least announce something.

Not necessarily! We don’t know enough about Ennis except he’s fast, gifted and seem strong and powerful for the weight class but how will you respond when the heat is on and you face someone much better than anyone you have ever faced. These are answers no one have not even Tarver bitter a_S!

I would hope it's with PBC! If it's only Amazon, then he's in the same boat as he was with SHO! He's not going to make his name off of PBC, without a deal with PBC! That's like signing a deal to ESPN, but not Top Rank!

Crawford don’t want that fight. He’s not an old school take on all comers type of fighter. He claims everyone ducked and is ducking him but the first true contender that he’s faced with he vacates. He did it at 140 too. Truth is crawford tho a 2 weight undisputed champion has never DEFENDED either title or even a piece of any undisputed title.

Bud should take the fight. Reality is Buds career was a bit of a joke before he beat Spence. Spence even laughed at Bud, with whos hes beat type comments. But even so, Bud seems to be hinting hes going to better that Spence win, with with taking on all comers like Tim Tysue, Charlo and Nelo? Well, lets start with Boots.

Crawford fighting Boots is a boxing fans only type matchup.

I talked to a buddy at work who I was trying to say where Crawford might go next and when I first brought up Crawford, he was like, isn't that the guy who beat Errol? I'm like, yes. Then I said he might fight Ennis Boots next and he was like, whose that? I'm like, well this kid is more of a casual, but at least he knew Crawford beat Errol. He had no idea who Ennis was and I think that is the common right now. Ennis is still not a name at all outside of boxing fans. Crawford isn't going to get much facing him, other than a great name on his resume since boxing fans have been calling it forever. Though it's definitely a high risk low reward for him and Ennis has all to gain from beating Crawford.

by comparison, who was the big name on Errol's list of fights?
