    Who Should Bud Crawford Fight Next?

    With Bud securing the WBA Super Welterweight Belt, who should he fight next? I'm hoping he is back out before the end of the year, like around December time.

    Sebastian Fundora? He has the WBC and WBO Belts.

    ​Bakhram Murtazaliev? He has just been ordered to defend his IBF Belt against Tszyu.

    Errol Spence? Rematch Spence at 154? I don't think he should fight Spence yet at 154 unless a belt is on the line. He can do that later.

    Jermell Charlo? Not sure when he will return but that's a fight I want to see at 154.

    Tim Tszyu? There was potential talk about Bud fighting him if he beat Fundora but he lost.

    Vergil Ortiz Jr.? Talk about Ortiz fighting Bud...… he has a fight against Bohachuk on Saturday night.

    WBO said Fundora has to fight Crawford before the end of the year or they will strip him and Bud becomes champion. I hope Crawford vs. Fundora can be next for the 3 belts.... do it in December!!

    Maybe explore fighting someone he'd be underdog against.?
    Nobody wants to put ideas forward about who'd be favoured to beat bud. That's how bud is going to become great, best someone your not supposed to

      Anyone with more than 10 fights is a good start

          I thought you were joking, but then I googled wheelchair boxing.

            Whoever he fights next it won’t be Errol Spence, Jr or Jaron “Boots” Ennis. I say it would be either Vergil Ortiz or Sebastian Fundora.

            Turki wants Vergil Ortiz next for Terence “Bud” Crawford but he is also Fundora’s mandatory challenger for the WBO’s 154 lbs title belt as well.

            I guess it would come down to whoever offer him the most money.

                Fundora. The Tszyu fight can wait until (if) he beats Murtazaliev for the IBF belt. The others don't have belts. About all he can do is fight for legacy and try to get back to dominance fast enough to land the bigger money fights he wants.

                Gonna point out that Inoue fought a Madrimov level guy in his divisional debut 3 times and dominated. Bud and Usyk both had to take tuneups. Madrimov is good evidence that just because people don't know the fighters at a weight class doesn't mean they're not very skilled.

                  I don’t see Errol doing enough in just one fight to convince anyone he is now a threat to TBud
