"Hope you and the family are all well. Want to give you your flowers for sticking to your prediction of a Terence Crawford victory, which you called over a year ago, while being ridiculed for your pick. Well done, brother"

lol its endless

ridiculed by who? canelo fans?

google who picked bud in that fight, mike tyson, amir khan, bradley, michael j fox lol, the list is almost endless, were they all ridiculed as well?

Teddy Atlas was one of the first, too, just like me.

While Breadman gets a lot of fights right, and while Fundora is looking better than ever, I'm rolling with my boy Keith for a KO victory. I think Keith's slickness, great feet, IQ, and punch variety & selection are going to be too much for Sebastian. Thurman is going to need to navigate the early rounds and get the distance right - both the distance between them and the distance of Fundora's chin - and then it's going to be a boxing clinic with a vicious finish.

If Thurman can do what you think I'll change my entire opinion of him.

Cool. Looking forward to you joining the Thurman appreciation gang. Did you happen to see Crawford on Shawn Porter's podcast? They asked him which 3 fighters of his generation he would've like to fight that he didn't. Bud said he would've like to fight PacMan, Marquez, and Cotto. He didn't name Keith, but Shawn asked him "take me through a fight with you and Keith Thurman" (at the 1 hour, 8 min, 38 sec mark of the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOpVeb0A1uA ). Check it out. Had some very nice things to say about Keith.

Haha. Easy to survive when you know boxing and you don't care what other people think!

Keith "part time" Thurman??

Keith "part time" Thurman??

He's been "part time" for a long time but I think he'll get back to being "one time" this time, like he was last time vs the way-overmatched Jarvis.

"But I also think some recency bias is taking place with him"

so ukranians might think their guy is better than he actually is, is that what bread is saying?

does recency bias not exist for every fighter on the planet somewhere

Im pretty sure you are confusing the word "recency" with the word "regional". But anyways...have a great day.

Usyk takes prime Tyson

He won't be intimidated whatsoever and as holyfield showed if you have the balls to plant your feet and push Tyson back all of a sudden Tyson can't punch for toffee

Usyk stops Tyson mid rounds, holyfield is the harder fight for Usyk.

[TheProudLunatic]

Yeah, yeah. "Kostya !!!!"
Kostya's last fight. Not quite the version worth beating/bragging about

"Paulie !!!"
Feather fisted Paulie
His resume was 10000x tougher than Rick's

"JLC !!!"
By the time they fought, JLC been to Hell and back.

That other guy, doe

Hatton was a brawler and not necessarily a clean one. Made due with what he had.
I wonder if his style and resume would please the Brits if Ricky wasn't one of them....

RIP
================================================== =======================================
Mike was a bully who thrived in an era when crack was a snack.
His opps were either too high or too scared or both to defend themselves.
Usyk would really have undressed Mike for the bully that he was.
Why are people afraid to call out Mike's resume for the trash that it is ?!?!?
================================================== ========================================
Spence (meh)
Nelo

Does Bud have enough time to accumulate more quality names
================================================== =======================================
As for The "Monster", again, are writers afraid to call out a weak resume ?!?!?

"Fulton !!!!!!"
Prime Donaire comatizes The "Monster"
================================================== =======================================
RJJ beats everyone who ever fought (within his weight classes)
Yep, that includes SRR
================================================== =======================================
As with PBF/May, people hate Nelo.
Both are supposed to have fraudulent resumes
So called fight fans only want to do a one way resume convo
Yet, as with PBF/May, Nelo is match against and compared to ATGs
Will assuredly be a unanimous 1st ballot HOFer
