I like TC a lot and think he is arguably #1 p4p but I think this dude Madrimov is going to do a whole lot better than expected. I predict a close UD for Bud. I also predict that this fight will end all talks of TC vs. Canelo.

What else is he going to say? YouTubers provided him talking points when confronted with questions he doesn't like.
I made a mock thread about this last year.

Who did Crawford beat at 140? Exactly. However, we knew he had skills, just like Boots! Mayweather told Thurman, "prove it!" Thurman told Spence, "prove it!" Spence told Crawford, "prove it!" Now we have people saying that Boots needs to "prove it!" Boots is 27, with 32 fights, and 29 KOS! To put that into perspective, Crawford is TEN years older than him, with only 3 more fights, and only 2 more KOs!
You can say Boots got his title via e-mail, but it's because Crawford decided not to defend the IBF title! That's after years of Spence not fighting Boots, when he had 3 WW titles! Honestly, there's no fighter at 147, which Boots would beat, and quiet the haters! It is what it is! Crawford couldn't quiet the haters with Indongo, Postol, Horn, and Amir Khan! Boots needed Spence or Crawford, and it's probably not going to happen! So in my opinion, Boots should stop seeking Undisputed @ 147, and go to 154 immediately! Vergil Ortiz Jr., Tim Tszyu, Fundora! That's the fights he needs! Who knows, maybe Spence will give him a shot @ 154? 147 is a waste of time!Last edited by Bronx2245; 07-23-2024, 09:41 AM.Comment

Canelo is being painted into a corner. His legacy is going to arguably always be questioned, if he doesn't step in the ring with at least one. He has to face one or both - Crawford or Benavidez.Comment

The joke here is some insist calling the ginger a fraud and whatnot but TC refers to him as a real legacy fighter, real recognize real I guess.Comment

Booty is the legacy fight, Canelo is a cash grab.Comment

Give me a break. Bozy turned down a fight offer from Crawford when Boots was highly ranked in the WBO, and they chose to avoid him to go IBF instead. Then they waited for months after getting the IBF spot until Spence and Crawford were basically signed before they petitioned for a shot. Like 5 months of silence while Spence had no fight lined up, only to come out the week Spence said he was near to a deal with Bud. Then waited until Spence activated his rematch clause to request the shot vs Bud.
He's been avoiding top fighters for years now. He's got 32 fights and 29 KO's with only one of those coming against #9 ranked Villa, and zero in the top 5. That's what a padded record looks like.
If he actually wants the smoke, he'll be ringside for Crawford v Madrimov. Let's see if he shows, eh? Stanionis already said he'd fight Ennis. Why haven't they pursued that fight? Why haven't they called out Ortiz Jr or Tszyu? August 3 will tell all. I doubt Boots shows his face at the fight, and if he comes at all, and Bud shows out, he's gonna run like Spence did at the Porter fight. If he can show up and make the call out, I'll be willing to attribute the past ducks to his former promoter. But he's already turned down the BLK Prime offer to fight Bud "out of loyalty" to PBC and Showtime...Comment

Everybody. Cleaned the entire division out. Guys who were ranked #1 by Ring Magazine. Ennis hasn’t beaten anyone. Avanesyan is probably the only top 10 guy he’s beaten in those 32 fights.
Saying Crawford should go back to 147 to fight Boots, is like saying Bam should go back to 112 to fight Olascuaga. It’s lunacy!Comment

We all know 99% of fighters cant go up 5 weight classes and beat the best.
Its just a money grab. Let see how he does with Madrimov then the160 pound champion like Lara or Janibek, then if he beats those guys. Im all for it.Comment

A whole forum full of Canelo haters pissing on the Charlo fight because he was " too small ". Now someone who never fought above 147, came from 135, and is 3 inches shorter than Charlo is a reasonable matchup?
No one wants to see this ****. And Canelo probably won't take it anyway.
This is all Bud's way of staying relevant while being inactive and doing what he's done his whole career. Fight some undefeated fighter we don't know about and wait for a big payday. Can't forget the occasional leftovers he cleans up too.
His whole run at 147 was literally fighting damaged goods and letting everyone else fight each other. He's going to do the same at 154. Beat this no name Russian and claim he was some difficult fight. Then claim he's the greatest boxer everComment
