Madrimov is not an amateur, Bud was being very careful, and did not want to be injured because of... his plan to fight Canelo. Secondly, I think you're forgetting how good Gamboa was (fought Tank and Haney at almost 40..). When he fought Bud he was unbeaten, lightning fast, had good power and his chin was still in pretty good condition. Bud was overly aggressive that night and got hit with a few good shots, but in the end, the bad motha****a got the job done.
Mean Machine was his name for a reason (he also dropped Ortiz) but again, bad mothafacka came out and did the job.
Again, this is why people give him a chance, and I do to. But a gun to my head, I will pick Canelo. And yes, it's prize fighting.. so money does matter. But Bud has got lots of money already, he doesn't need this. And he's a very proud man, I don't think his ego will enjoy being knocked out, so I think he likes his chances and fancies this ultimate challenge.
