    Because now is the time to push for this fight.

    Crawford just fought his mandatory and has nothing scheduled. And Shawn Porter has nothing scheduled either, plus he and his dad have publicly stated that they are willing and able to fight Crawford.

      I'm down with pushing for the fight, but yelling duck a week after he fought isn't really making sense.

        I think most people see the duck coming. Especially since Crawford allegedly talked to Hearn about fighting Mikey Garcia.

        But yes...it's probably best to wait until Crawford officially ducks before crucifying him.

                  im willing to give the benefit of the doubt till then...but if he doesnt make a fight with porter its not going to look good
                  I see that some people have been running with the "Bud is ducking Porter" in the last week or so. Has Porter come out and explicitly asked for the fight?
                  This story went from: "Porter and Bud would consider the fight" to "Bud is ducking Crawford" real quick!

                  That being said, I definitely want to see this fight.

                    Nevermind!
                    It's getting harder defending Bud lately.

                      We have to wait and see who he fights next. If he fights a better fighter then it’s ok but surely he can’t be fighting a no name person
