Originally posted by Dr.Cool View PostI don't think he has proven it at all. Dude was 160, and took him longer to put away Indongo than this prospect did. First, Bud has had a major weight advantage in all his fights. Canelo size difference. Literally, putting on 20 pounds from the weigh in.
Second, who the hell has Bud fought that justifies a ranking on the p4p list? Indongo? Postol? Gamboa? Get out of here. Bud has fought no elite opponent EVER. That is an undeniable fact. Making lower divisions that are incredibly weak while young, doesn't make one great. AB did it too. He got put on the p4p rankings too. Then he fought a top opponent for the first time in Maidana. Then the second time he fought a top opponent was Porter. The third time he did was Mikey.
Beating Brook in his hometown, by breaking his face and then humiliating and emasculating Peterson like Spence did is worthy of a higher ranking than a guy the same size whose best win is Postol or Indongo. In fact, Thurman is probably smaller than Bud and I would place him above Crawford also, as Porter and DSG are more impressive than Postol and Indongo.
Bud might be a top p4p fighter. So might Prograis. I'm saying no one is the #1 or #2 p4p fighter for beating a bum like Indongo. Fighters should have to earn their spot on p4p rankings. Bud's p4p spot has been bought and paid for by TR, not from his resume.

Originally posted by chrisJS View PostPound for pound is also eye test too. Bud looks to be the most complete fighter in the sport. Pound for pound is if all were the same size who's the best.
He also cleaned out 135 by beating the #1, 2 & 3 including Gamboa who was the best at 130. He then won every belt at 140 in dominant fashion.
Crawford proved beyond a doubt at two weight classes he was the class of the division while losing possibly only 3-4 rounds the whole time.
He really couldn't have done any more. Now he's onto 147 where it will be harder.

Originally posted by Afi23 View PostThanks! Actually, I've been waiting to see Prograis in action for awhile. I'd seen alot of quotes from him (he's been calling out alot of dudes) but I never really saw him fight. I must admit Prograis talks "slick" a bit.

Originally posted by Gillie View PostI think Gamboa was a featherweight and then he moved up 2 classes to fight Bud, however your point is well taken. Bud is the pound for pound best imo and the most complete fighter, a to z.

Originally posted by BobLoblaw View PostTaylor is now widely regarded as top 10 for the division by all bodies so we'll soon see if he's ready.
I just didn't get what the 'English' part of your post meant.
