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

[ptek]

I can't lie, I like Travis......., but come on man ,

what the hell has boots done to warrant a fight with Crawford ???,

and why exactly should Crawford play IBF's ****** ass games ???,

nah miss me with that.

Especially while there's heaps of Champs sitting on tittles , hold them hostage for years now .

[JakeTheBoxer]

Canelo has already stated his plans are one more Charlo and then Bud Crawford to top his contract with PBC

So I guess Benavidez must move up for Bivol -Beterbiev winner, if he wants his big money fight.

So I guess Benavidez must move up for Bivol -Beterbiev winner, if he wants his big money fight.

His old man already said he’d like his son to fight Beterbiev but crickets after the comment
Artur said no problem
But yeah I guess but don’t Benny wanting to do that
Unless he entices Bivol , who has no problem making 168 , come down in size
Can’t see that happening either cause Benny has nothing to offer unless his excellency flexes his power and drops a chit load of cash

He put in work. He won the IBF interim by beating Chukhadzian, defended it by beating Villa.

Interim means, literally , if the champ isn’t unifying or fighting a mandatory, they have to fight you next.

Spence was unifying. Crawford unified, now it’s time to defend against a mandatory.

Crawford refused (ducked).

IBF stripped him and emailed it to Boots.

So now, the other orgs really should be breathing down Crawford’s neck, especially WBO.

Meanwhile, Boots said “come get yo belt back!”. Crawford refused again (ducking).

Crawford doesn’t have to fight Boots since he was stripped. But he does have to fight mandatory opposition and stop calling out lightweights, super lightweights, junior middleweights, middleweights and super middleweights. Call out a welterweight, ANY of them at this point.

And don’t say “he’s going to 154” - then he needs to vacate all the belts like he did to go up and fight Jeff Horn.

Did you have that same energy when Spencerina held the belts ?,

Do you hold that same energy for the other champions holding belts hostage for years now, and sanctioning body aint saying jack s.h.i.t.about those fighters full stop.

How long has Canelo been sitting on those tittles ?? , anybody chatting about that ?, the face of boxing got beat up and beat down by Bivol and
No body's chatting about that.

How long has charlo been sitting on that WBC belt ??, over 2yrs now thats how long , anyone chatting about that ???



So miss me with all that chat regarding Jaron Boots Ennis and his so called entitlements.

Lol

[K--]

I believe Antonio Tarver is kind of a dumb ass.

This rematch thing again. Don't know why they keep bringing it up. Crawford can do whatever he likes. The topic should now be who he wants to fight next. It's not Spence.

Terence Crawford Expresses Doubt on Rematch With Errol Spence: "I'm Glad It's Over and Done With"

[hugh grant]

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

Spence not beat anyone too, that would make him a pfp fighter. Every champion who's been in a division long enough has as good resume as Spence has.
But spence didn't believe bud, even in his 3 divisions had beat anyone worthy to boast about.

[hugh grant]

the problem with starting with Boots is that he might never get to fight those other fights afterwards - course, if he was very confident about beating Ennis he'd just go ahead and do it

But bud needs to fight, and if he don't fight boots, he will be criticised, especially considering he's a wannabe no1 pfp.

[ptek]

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.

That's exactly who Crawford is.

I see your still emotional about your boy Spencerina, and that fish fry in July 2023.

Get over it, and out of your feeling emotional dude.

Boots ain't got know one to blame but his self period.

Crawford already won all those starps, Boots is delusional.

[brettWall]

Make it happen. Glad I have no great need to defend or bash any of these guys as I'm not a fan of either one. I would be more interested in the HOW or the mechanics of making such fight rather than this constant back and forth with fruitless outcome. Are they even talking behind the scenes? If not, why not? Who is making the effort to make such fight?
