Calm down English major.

Yes ma'am.

crawford (supposedly the p4p number 1) is fighting the world number 27 and people are saying its a good fight.... good grief. im not even sure wade was ranked that low in his division. He could fight someone with no arms and no legs and you guys would still say its a good fight, the bias on here is something else.

Who else is Bud supposed to fight?

He tried getting Manny, ranked #2 at WW, but Manny rejected his offer.

Porter and Garcua are tied up and Spence has said that fight will happen "down the line".

Khan is ranked #11, but TC would be laughed at for cherry picking Khan.

This is a good fight versus an undefeated guy whose full of confidence - Bud is the favorite, but it's still a decent fight.

And this is different from Gennady because Bud moved up from JWW went there wasn't any competition after unifying.

Gennady ran from Ward (although welcomed 168 fights with Froch a d JCC) and refused to go to 154 for Cotto, Canelo, and Brook.

Gennady also chose Vanes over Dervenchenko and Andrade.

Gennady deserves all the blame that he gets.

Yeah well Loma is fighting Pedraza. Loma could fight a guy with no arms or legs and you Loma **** blowers would say it’s a HOF fight.

Meanwhile at least Pedraza has a title and Loma is coming off an Injury. And here you are talking like Lomachenko has fought nobody yet he's like 12 fights in and probably fought 8 higher class fighters than your favorite fighter has who probably has 30 fights on his record.[/QUOTE]
You forgot that Bud is a past lineal and undisputed champ and that he has a title at 147. And lastly he’s undefeated and pfp the best fighter in the world!

I got no issue with Crawford, he is a great fighter but theres no point bringing up Lomachenko in the conversation because he's fought better competition in 12 fights then Bud has in like 30. Crawford signing with TR again is gonna handcuff him the next few years cause he is not fighting off ESPN and PBC guys wont be fighting off Showtime or Fox so that means no big fights unfortunately

Can/Will Haymon guarantee him in contract 3+ million a fight 3-4 times a year?
I look at Crawford signing with Top Rank like NFL players wanting long term guaranteed money for years instead of being franchise tagged with no guarantees for minimum future earnings besides trust in Haymon to take care of them.

[Madison Boxing]

Can Haymon guarantee in writing 3+ million a fight 3-4 times a year?

i dont know. if the spence fight is as big as people say it is then i guess he could.

[Bjl12]

Oh so you'd rather TC sign with Haymon and fight once a year like Spence, Danny, Porter, and Keith (once every three years)? Great idea!

Crawford has straight up said he wants that fight.

[FrankieBruno]

TC needs to step up, this is not a great fight for a guy who claims to e the best in the wold
