Bakhram vs Bohachuk on a super card topped by Canelo-Crawford and Opetaia-Zurdo in May in Riyadh. Just putting it out there...

Given Canelo's recent change of tune toward the idea of facing Crawford I actually won't be surprised if it happens.

Just hoping 154 gets lit like everyone is excited for. There are some real Pier 6 brawls waiting to happen in that division, and a ton of fighters at all sort of different portions of their careers that need them to actually get signed.

It could be a real fun 2025 for boxing.

Can't tell if I missed a running joke but why would Barrios be a nice payday? Its not happening but IF hypothetically Crawford drops down to 147 the guy to get the best pay is against Boots.

But yeah, I only see Crawford either:
1) Fight Canelo to sell his zero for retirement paycheck and retire.
2) If he doesn't manage to get a retirement paycheck from Canelo then cross fingers that Spence defeats Fundora, then fight him again for retirement paycheck and retire.

Crawford automatically gets the WBO belt if Fundora loses to Spence so he certainly will be watching the Fundora-Spence fight rooting for Spence.

brother you’re talking about one of the greatest fighters of all time like he’s a bum looking to make a little money please show some respect. Bud deserves to fight who he wants when he wants let’s enjoy whatever fights he has left.

Before the Crawford fight I was asking Spence fans to explain why he was p4p material. Now they've truly abandoned him. He's in there because he's got a name and PBC wants to cash him out. Doesn't need to be more complicated than that.

Reminds me of when dlh, Shane and others moved up to 154. Was a hot division then and now, it's arguably thee hottest division in boxing.....just need to make the fights happen

Canelo is all about the money vs the easy opponent formula
So why not kill two birds with one stone ; Bud Crawford
In no way am I saying that Canelo wins but the choice is obvious who he should fight since he’s not going to fight who we would like

Imo , Bud does well and probably wins this fight by not getting into a shootout and by using his iq and boxing

Errol Spence is currently awaiting contracts to be sent to them by Premier Boxing Champions, according to Fundora promoter Sampson Lewkowicz.....

Spence said that he will be rooting for Bud to beat Canelo.
