Just gong to respond to this, “ There’s no one at 147, that brings legitimacy nor legacy, not even a big payday!”.
Crawford beat Indongo, Postol and Dulorme to unify the 140 division.
I don’t disagree that the 147 division is not stacked with talent but similar to Crawford, unifying it can only bring more accolades. There is no reason to skip it when Boots can unify it by end of 2025.

Boots needs Vergil Ortiz and Tim Tszyu, not Barrios and Stanionis! He needs Jermell Charlo, and Fundora, not Crowley and Conor Benn!
You are agreeing with me.
Boots does not need any of the belt holders at 147 just like Crawgord did not need any of the guys you mentioned BUT beating them was the only path Crawford had to a legitimacy fight.
Boots is 27 years old. The same age Crawford was when he unified 135. Why are you giving Boots a different standard?
Why didn’t Bud skip 135 and 140 and go straight to Thurman at 147? That’s what you’re asking Boots to do.
Boots will meet Tszyu and Ortiz. They aren’t going anywhere
