Comments Thread For: The Time Is Now For Bud vs. Boots, It Makes Sense

[Clegg]

I sense that a lot of the people who defended Spence waiting years to fight Crawford, are now demanding that Crawford instantly face Ennis.

Boots is an undefeated American, so the USA guys like that fight. But it's the USA scene that froze Crawford out for years and denied him fair opportunity. Even now trying to screw him out of the WBO 154lb fight. So if Crawford takes his ball and goes to Saudi, the fans and promoters can blame themselves. Spence had no mandatory for years, then the instant he loses his belt they take it off Crawford and give it to Ennis. It's a complete joke, and why the hell would Crawford accept being manipulated and mistreated like that if he has a much bigger financial offer on the table from elsewhere?

BTW where did all the Spence fans go? Guy was one of the most popular, highly rated fighters on here yet as soon as he lost everybody acted like they were never fans and always thought he ******. Was literally the same as the Jeff Lacy situation way back when.

Crawford is 36, I would love to see him fight Ennis. It might make sense now because every other possible cash cow fight has fallen by the wayside. Crawford has had some bad luck in getting opponents for one reason or another, He should take a shot at one of the alphabet junior middle weight champions and earn a nice payday then if nothing comes available like Canelo or Spence he should fight Ennis, it would be a fight that would have legs and interests.

The boxing pundit's say that this fight won't ever happen, and BlueBloodSports dropped a video yesterday.
He was stating that Crawford is in talks to fight Israil Madrimov for 2 of the 4 belts at 154, and that's a great fight.
Madrimov only has 11 professional fight's, but he's already a belt holder at 154, and he had over 400 amateur fight's.

It's so funny that dudes like blueblood tried his best to help Bud avoid the PBC WWs but now him and other folks jumped right on some unknown fighter's jock strap and saying Madrimov is a beast and is the new 3G. Gthfoh mane!

I thought Boots was shelved over a promotional dispute in court.... won't that hinder his ability to sign a contract

This makes about as much sense as Spence getting blasted out so he earned a title shot or Canelo fighting Munguia for less money than his 2 year mandatory or Fundora NOT giving Tim an immediate rematch. But sure, Crawford should fight a guy for nothing and pay sanction fees for a belt that was stolen....namsayn!

[factsarenice]

Who? Name a single one

Same exact guys that said Spence earned a fight with Fundora

As a Spence fan, I don't understand the question.

Right here?

Where else are we supposed to be?

They brought this upon themselves by waiting around too much. Bud in particular relied too much on clickbaiting fake news disseminating Youtubers thinking that the Canelo fight is on the bag for him. Don't know why he behaved as if he was so sure about getting that fight when there's a bunch of callers waiting for their turn in Alvarez's weight class.

[brettWall]

Bottom line is the longer they stay inactive the more they will get noticed whether they or anyone like it or not. There are lots of 147 guys for Boots to stay active with. It's mind-boggling what he is doing in this sport doing nothing for long stretches of time.

Sorry, it won't happen. Bud only fights washed up fighters, low tier fighters, or guys coming off car accidents or eye surgery...
