    A great fighter no doubt but due to a lack of quality wins, he is not in the convo.

      I know his opposition is lacking but is that his fault or Bob Arum's? From what I understand, Henry Armstrong is the only other pro boxer to be undisputed in three weight classes.

          A few more wins and then I really do think he can be top 10. He wasn't in the conversation before Nel o fight so one win as underdog really has fast tracked himself.
          It really was a good move of bud to fight once a year so that he could concentrate on training 10 months a year for a Nel o fight.

            The titles are so so meaningless in this regard, its about who you beat? How good were they at the time you beat them? We can make titles up for all fights FFS.

            Also, it doesn't matter who is at fault or any circumstances leading to why someone doesn't have a resume more complete with quality wins.

              I mean we use this criteria to judge other fighters, no? Don't we constantly put Mike Tyson or other fighters down because they avoided tough fights? I'm just saying the word 'duck' is commonly used in boxing circles.

                  What does that have to do with Bud's standing as it relates to ATG status? You can't get credit even if the reason fights never happened were out of your direct control. He is a fantastic fighter but simply doesn't have the quality wins to be in the conversation.
