Comments Thread For: Sebastian Fundora and Terence Crawford given 10 more days to agree deal

Madrimov is 10-0-1 and won a vacate title. What risk Lol.

Maybe if you actually watch the boxers and learn about them opposed to just looking up their records you would know this. Your statement is ignorant.

Crawford's next move here will signal a lot about whether this 154 campaign is at all about legacy or if it's just a step stone to a Canelo cashout.

As a fan of course I'm hoping it's the former- he has the tools and just enough time left to unify 154 if he gets serious about it- Fundora is a strange frame to prep for but really not nearly as skilled as Madrimov by my estimation.

I suspect one of (if not the) hardest fights in the division is already behind him with that Madrimov decision.

Hate the years that were flushed by the PBC blackballing- Crawford has a HoF spot stamped and he has made a ton of money, so he's in a great spot regardless- but if he really wants to be remembered with welters like Floyd or Manny- he does have to stick the landing on these last 2 or 3 fights

Bud is a dog he would want to fight Canelo with all the belief in his mind he can win he is a TWO WEIGHT undisputed champion that is unthinkable in the modern era. Having said that I would love to see him finish with wins against Fundora and the winner of Tzsyu and Murtazaliev.

Those are the fights. if he can finish up with those two and maybe add Ortiz and take a belt from Lara at 160, that will be a great run. He need to leave Canelo alone and focus on what is attainable. That may be too much though seeing he only fights once a year.

If it's an easy fight for T Bud Crawford let's see it. Even the Face Of Boxing Mexican superstar Saul Canelo Alvarez, I'm sure, wants to see this fight. I don't see him interfering or throwing roadblocks in this fight. He'll be rooting for his fellow Mexican Sebastian "TI" Fundora, of course.

I never take guys who win vacate title seriously. Just like Crawford who vacate title at 140.

First of all, I do not buy this "chasing Canelo for a retirement check" silliness people keep tossing around. Crawford has lived and fought in freaking Nebraska his entire life. (Ok, I exaggerate. He has fought outside his home state quite a bit lately. Work with me here, keyboard warriors.) One of the reasons he is so good in the ring is he is freaking intelligent in there. He is calm and adjusts with a killer instinct. Do people really think he has approached something as vitally important as his personal finances any other way? He has made multiple tens of millions of dollars, lives in a state with one of the lowest cost to live, and people think he needs MONEY? Nah, his great grandchildren will get the benefits of the Spence fight alone. I am sure Crawford would take the money for a Canelo fight with a grin, but needs it? Silly to argue that.

Secondly, has anyone seen a boxer at ease in his own skin as much as Crawford? He was saying out loud to everyone for years he did not care if he fought Spence as he was sure he was already a P4P great and first ballot Hall of Famer. He ain't chasing Canelo for ego. Again, he may take the challenge because of who he is as a boxer, but he is not worried about his legacy either.

I just do not know what Crawford wants, and probably only a few people honestly do. But if they asked for an extension to work out a fight, I will believe they are trying to work out a fight. I did not think this would happen, but it is not a bad fight. It is interesting. As Crawford does fight at least once a year, why not? What else works out before December that brings a better return for Crawford?

Ofcoure bud cares about money that's why he resigned with top rank so he could continue fighting bums for 7 figure guarantees at 147. Bud is done at the top level that madrimov fight showed everyone he is done and is thinking of retirement plan.

3 time undisputed lol good joke. Bud only fights once a year and he's already 37. He ain't getting no undisputed at 154. For Bud it's about retirement plan and he plans on selling his 0 to canelo.

It's two fights... Not that you ever credit Bud.

Yes but he fights once a year by next year he'll be 38. It's too late for bud without losing. Unless he wants to fight twice a year now that he is 37.
