    That is great. Tim beats Crawford IMO.

    I think Spence will also go for the tile at 154.

      He fought the guy I wanted him to in Spence. He's at the end of his career and can do what he wants.

        Of course but to say Tszyu is a bigger fight? I think Tszyu is fun to watch but he’s no elite fighter

          You have to be LDBC. 154 is weak, LOL. It's loaded with competition, just like Jermell had to go through a gauntlet of low-paying, highly competitive fights. Weak is Benn, Haney, Thurman, and whoever else is even left at 147.

            It's a considerably bigger fight. Tszyu has a fanbase, Boots has a small cult.

              Hmmm, you’re a kid huh? When boxers justify fights based on fan base I just shake my head.

                Ennis is not elite fighter either. Tszyu is unbeaten guy from higher division, so it is a bigger fight.

                And yes, Tszyu has better wins, clearly.

                  Fanbase = money. That's why guys like Ryan Garcia and Jake Paul pull huge ppv numbers, or even Tank Davis, while people like Ennis do not. And without putting butts in seats, you don't have leverage. Money is way more important in terms of making the fights than skills. If a guy can get a career high payday fighting you, even if they know they'll most likely lose, they will still sign up for it, and beg for the fight. If they're barely going to pay for their fight camp, nobody wants to do it unless they think they're going to win. If you have skills but no financial leverage, you won't get fights. It's not rocket science.

                    I don’t talk to Jake Paul fans

                      Hmmm, I remember when mayweether took on this hot shot kid by the name of Canelo. Whipped his a$$.
                      I don’t think Bud has that same type of faith in himself to whip boots so that’s why he’s going after the robotic white boy. Easy pickings.
