[Smash]

does anyone even know what these guys weigh in the ring now

You are ***** up at light speed! First, if you think Haney is more proven, at 147 than Boots, because he beat Kambo and Loma at 135, and Prograis at 140, you’re insane! Second, Jose Benavidez was shot in the leg before fighting Bud! Lastly, yes, I believe DSG beating Judah, Khan, and Matthysse, is better than Crawford’s run to become Undisputed at 140! DSG beat Matthysse 2 years before! I’ll add to that, DSG’s victory over Khsn was better than Crawford’s victory over Khan too! Spence’s victory over Brook and Porter also meant more than Crawford’s victories too!

Where did I say he was more proven at 147? Can you even read? He’s not even fought at 147 you nut job.

The point remains the same though. Boots is completely unproven and to compare him to Crawford when he was a single belt champ at 147 is ridiculous.

I don't give a **** about the Tank Inoue situation. I'm saying if Charlo at 154 was too small, how is Crawford vs Canelo not some mismatch money grab as well? Charlo fought at 154 his whole career! And he's bigger than Crawford. But he was such a mismatch for Canelo?

Sure we can say Crawford is better than Charlo, but he hasnt proved that in the ring. How is this not a mismatch? Then again I'm hoping they make it so I can make a huge payday on Canelo to get a knockout. Something he hasn't done against anyone for awhile.

Its actually a sad thing if Crawford seriously wants the fight. It shows how much he mismanaged his whole career. That he's not even a big draw on his own and can't fight the exciting fighter who gets knockouts like him. He has to move up 3 weight classes for a payday. I think it's all smoke and mirrors. He's not going for that.

Soon as they asked him about this fight he immediately claimed they have weight classes for a reason. Now he's ready? He's doing one thing right for once. His name is buzzing more due to this Canelo hype. I believe he really has no intention of taking that fight. And his true intention is to keep his name buzzing, beat this no name Russian, and fight the winner of Fundora and Spence Jr. And he's hoping it's Spence since it will sale if he does well in the Fundora fight.

because TC aint a small boy!!!! and TC is the one calling for a fight against canelo!!!

Spence was a bit of a hype job but he was still one of the top guys at 147. Crawford just totally outclassed him. Let's see how he looks at 154 but I don't think I'd bet against him vs Alvarez even at 168. I hope they make that fight happen.

Bud is not big enough for super middle weight in my opinion .Lets at least see how he looks in a jump up a division first and consider that is still two divisions lower than he is talking .The Canelo fight will probably happen but I would much prefer to see Canelo take on Benevidez that is by far the best fight at the weight.

[JOITATS]

Boots is recognized as the 2nd best guy in his division and the future of 147.

I don’t buy this crap that Boots needs to prove himself before he calls out Bud. Bud knows that he’s an extremely risky fight. That’s why he’s making up excuses not to do it.

The Canelo fights works both ways for Bud. If he loses, he can use the weight differential excuse. Either way he gets also gets paid for life.

"I know I just earned my first promotion, well, at least, that's what it said in the email, but I really think I'm ready to give the CEO a real run for his money"

Karen, Avanesyan.. can't even look good in his showcase fights

[White-Bob]

He is right. I'd love to see this fight..folks forget TC was a top notch wrestler, which typically translates into top notch strength
all that pulling and grabbing makes them strong, not big. Errol is a bif strong dude..TC handled him..plus TC is boxing smart..I'll put my money on TC

[Claude Palle]

It's a big jump in weight but still very intriguing. There will be no pressure on Bud. If Canelo loses it will stain his legacy, losing to a much smaller guy. If Bud loses? So what! He jumped up to 168 and made a boatload of dough. It's a win, win for Crawford!

[Greenfield02]

Crawford only talks about Canelo to hype his fight no one gives a sh** about...
