I just don’t get how boxing fans are quick to say a boxer is great
Say what you will about Bud ( his resume and whatnot ) but I thought he was great even before the Spence fight
This is like all the claims that Bivol is a master boxer having beat a guy who was on decline and smaller
People should really look hard at Haney vs Garcia
I do rate Ennis, talented kid but let’s see him prove himself first. Because he’s not proven himself anywhere near elite level yet.Comment

Question his validity and get a response like Bud is ducking

I have laced them up and that’s why I try to keep it respectful. I guess I wasn’t clear. I was defending Crawford’s HOF record. I took Ennis to be ironically disrespecting Crawford’s previous opponents, all of whom were tougher opponents than he’s ever faced at welterweight, IMO.….sorry if you were somehow offended.Comment

I wasn’t offended. I was just pointing out consistency has to be across the board. That’s all

My point is pretty simple AND I was responding to the person that said Boots has fought no one.
So I simply analyzed Crawford and Boots resume at 26 and asked a simple question - Was Bud’s resume better at 26?
Since you bring up money, how much money did Crawford make fighting Kavaliauskas or Avanesyan?
Fighting Madrinov who is 10-0 and virtually unknown to the boxing community is a joke.
It is no different than Canelo fighting Ryder or Munguia instead of Benavidez. We all know why he’s doing it.
Crawford's contract guaranteed him 3 million per fight with Top Rank. Top rank offered both Danny and prime Keith Thurman career high paydays and both turned them down.
Jaron Ennis is fighting an absolute nobody without a remote chance, nether guy has ever fought for a championship, in any weight-class in their entire lives. Ennis doesn't have a belt Crawford wants or needs and Ennis is not a draw....the real question should be why would Terrance Crawford fight Jaron Ennis?

Because you asked, when Crawford was 26 he was fought for the WBO lightweight Championship, in the same year fought for the Super Lightweight Championship.
You are telling me things I already know. Context matters - Neither Spence nor Bud wanted any part of Boots. How will Boots get a belt if the belt holders are hogging the belts?
Because you asked, Terrance Crawford made a guaranteed $10 million to fight Avanesyan and $4 million for Mean Machine Kavaliauskas

Again, I don’t doubt the money he made, allz I’m saying is Boots is a bigger name then those two so the money would have been the same if not more so the idea that Boots “brings nothing to the table” is just silly.
First off, Turki Al-Sheikh is paying 10s of millions for Terrance Crawford vs Israil Madrinov because it includes a 154lb championship and a chance to unify in a history making 3rd weight class. The only joke is you attempting to sell Cody Crowley as some world beater...he went life and limb with Abel Ramos at 147 and he's not a household name in his own house.
At no time have I said Crowley is a great fight for Boots. Please copy paste it here if I have been suggested that. There is no one to fight or they are all scared to fight him. But have you looked at the WW ranking lately?

As for Boots not being a draw, were Avanesyan, Kavaliauskas or Brook draws? They were not at all yet Bud fought them just like he is fighting Madrinov who nobody knows.

This kid is in denial. Crawford wants to challenge himself at 154 for the belt. Ennis is 147 player.Comment

BUD is fighting an absolute nobody without a remote chance. This is a mismatch that we can all agree on.
As for Boots not being a draw, were Avanesyan, Kavaliauskas or Brook draws? They were not at all yet Bud fought them just like he is fighting Madrinov who nobody knows.
I'll try to make it simple because I think your missing the point.
Bud Crawford is moving up for the first time to 154lbs. Bud is fighting the only guy in a higher weight-class available and willing with a meaningful belt. Why? because Bud "light in the ass" Crawford is attempting to do something never done before in history and that is unify a 4th division, and that's really, really hard. In fact it's almost impossible considering that all, not some but all, the powers in boxing are trying make sure that never happens.
I respect your honestly, at least you admit that don't know who Israil Madrimov is and that's fine, but other people do. Go ahead and watch footage, read up and you'll know who he is too. In the meantime, those that know Israil Madrimov also know that he's bigger, stronger and far better better than either Avanesyan or Kavaliauskas.
Ennis is fighting a guy at 147 and well on his way to winning a belt and that's great news because like Bud, the powers in Boxing don't want him to succeed either.
Hope this helps.Last edited by factsarenice; 05-03-2024, 06:16 PM.Comment
