    Surprised to see we're not already talking about this. Apparently the Tszyu-Fundora winner has 5 days after the fight to begin negotiations with Bud. Crawford-Tszyu is such a bad ass fight to me.

      I'm just glad he sued Top Rank for racism, because he was only getting 2 fights a year so he could go and have two fights in 30 months after that.

      Racist ass Arum lol


      In seriousness though, I think Bud/Tim is fireworks

            Wasted 8 month but better late than never I guess. I just hope he vacates all his belts once the 5 day negotiations are over though.

              It's funny how 147 was considered this crazy elite master class, and now that Bud and Spence have moved up it's a division of meh.


              Way to hype up Spence's resume guys lol

                Given how Spence is somehow still in the top 10 P4P and with Jermell officially beltless and the pace some of these guys fight these days, I won't be surprised to see Spence somehow end up fighting for one of the two vacant belts at 154 next if Crawford is going the Tszyu path.

                  The 154 division is so WEAK. I prefer to see him fight Boots but it’s too much of a threat for him.

                    Tszyu is a much bigger threat than Ennis. The best win Ennis has is still a shopworn Sergey Lipinets. Tszyu has at least four wins better than that (Tony Harrison, Terrell Gausha, Brian Mendoza, Jeff Horn).
